For instance, take the two words fuming and furious. Make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. Now open your mouth and speak. If your thoughts incline ever so little towards fuming, you will say fuming-furious; if they turn, by even a hair's breadth, towards furious, you will say furious-fuming; but if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say frumious.

"For instance, take the two words fuming and furious. Make up your mind to say both but leave the order unsettled. When you speak, if your thoughts lean slightly towards fuming, you'll say fuming-furious. If they shift slightly towards furious, you'll say furious-fuming."

"However, if you possess a rare, perfectly balanced mind, you will say frumious, blending both words harmoniously."
