1. _a._ How does this make an advance upon the preceding in the

revelation of MacLure? _b._ Does it in any way get nearer to elemental

human feeling? _c._ Does it anywhere appeal directly to sensation? _d._

Do you find in this any feeling for the mystery of existence? Does it

seem to be an integral part of the story, coming from its essential

emotion and free from obtrusive moralizing, or not? _e._ Is there any

increase in intensity of feeling in this or not, and if so, how is it

indicated in the symbols you have employed? _f._ Has MacLure now been

presented to us with full showing of his distinguishing characteristics

or not? and do we find in him a vital human nature?
