  1. In a sapient manner.

    Sunday, as the Midland timetable sapiently observed, was a dies non in Scotland, yet the N.B.R. [North British Railway], though a Scots company, had a Sunday train; true, it did not work on Scottish soil, as it only ran over the 22 miles of Cumbrian track that connected Carlisle and Silloth.
