Pangloss taught metapysico-theologo-cosmolo-nigology. He proved that there is no effect without a cause, and that in this best of all possible worlds, his lordship's country seat was the most beautiful of mansions and her ladyship the best of all possible ladyships. He used to say, 'that things cannot be other than they are, for since everything was made for a purpose, it follows that those who maintain that all is right talk nonsense; they ought to say that all is for the best.'
