(88) Or, "define in common." Cf. "Mem." IV. vi. 15. (89) Or, "man-praiser." Cf. "The Manx Witch," p. 47 (T. E. Brown), "And Harry, more like a dooiney-molla For Jack, lak helpin him to woo." See, too, Mr. Hall Caine's "Manxman," p. 73. (90) See Plat. "Rep." 342 D, for a specimen of Socratic procedure, "from one point of agreement to another." The Company, in chorus. Without a doubt (they answered, and the formula, once started, was every time repeated by the company, full chorus). Soc. Are you agreed it is the business of a good go-between to make him (or her) on whom he plies his art agreeable to those with them? (91) (91) Al. "their followers." See "Mem." II. vi. 36. Omnes. Without a doubt. Soc. And, further, that towards agreeableness, one step at any rate consists in wearing a becoming fashion of the hair and dress? (92) Are you agreed to that? (92) See Becker, "Char." Exc. iii. to Sc. xi. Omnes. Without a doubt. Soc. And we know for certain, that with the same eyes a man may dart a look of love or else of hate (93) on those he sees. Are you agreed? (93) See "Mem." III. x. 5. Omnes. Without a doubt. Soc. Well! and with the same tongue and lips and voice may speak with modesty or boastfulnes? Omnes. Without a doubt. Soc. And there are words that bear the stamp of hate, and words that tend to friendliness? (94) (94) Cf. Ep. St. James iii. 10, "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing." Omnes. Without a doubt. Soc. The good go-between will therefore make his choice between them, and teach only what conduces to agreeableness? Omnes. Without a doubt. Soc. And is he the better go-between who can make his clients pleasing to one person only, or can make them pleasing to a number? (95) (95) Or, "to the many." The question is ambiguous. {e} = "an" or "quam." The company was here divided; the one half answered, "Yes, of course, the largest number," whilst the others still maintained, "Without a doubt." And Socrates, remarking, "That proposition is agreed to also," thus proceeded: And if further he were able to make them pleasing to the whole community, should we not have found in this accomplished person an arch-go-between? Clearly so (they answered with one voice). Soc. If then a man had power to make his clients altogether pleasing; that man, I say, might justly pride himself upon his art, and should by rights receive a large reward? (96) (96) Or, "he deserves to do a rattling business," "to take handsome fees." Cf. Sheridan's Mrs. Coupler, in "A Trip to Scarborough." And when these propositions were agreed to also, he turned about and said: Just such a man, I take it, is before you in the person of Antisthenes! (97) (97) See Diog. Laert. "Antisth." VI. i. 8; Plut. "Symp." ii. 1. 503. Whereupon Antisthenes exclaimed: What! are you going to pass on the business? will you devolve this art of yours on me as your successor, Socrates? (98)
