Lair of the White Worm
He speaks in the Phaedo of the words with which he has comforted himself and his friends, and will not be too confident that the description which he has given of the soul and her mansions is exactly true, but he 'ventures to think that something of the kind is true.' And in the Meno, after dwelling upon the immortality of the soul, he adds, 'Of some things which I have said I am not altogether confident' (compare Apology; Gorgias).
They relate to a subject of which Plato himself would have said that 'he was not confident of the precise form of his own statements, but was strong in the belief that something of the kind was true.' It is the spirit, not the letter, in which they agree--the spirit which places the divine above the human, the spiritual above the material, the one above the many, the mind before the body.

something of the kind. So then he was monstrous happy, and talked on some time about what they should do, and they agreed he should take orders directly, and they must wait to be married till he got a living.
Sense and Sensibility
He might think my brain was softening, or
something of the kind."

something of the kind equally foolish.

"Well, I must tell you that she first appeared here in company with an Italian--a prince of some sort, a man who bore an historic name (Barberini or
something of the kind).
Gambler
I have seen the two Macs attempt
something of the kind at the halls, but it appears to take some practise to do it without hurting oneself.
The Lost World
I wouldn't be much surprised if we should see
something of the kind. Isn't that the flash of an ivory shoulder through yonder gloom?
The Golden Road
