"Well," I says, "I suppose you'll be bossing that bar in Capetown now before long?" "Talk sense," she answers. "How can the Marchioness of Appleford marry a hotel keeper?" "Why not," I says, "if she fancies him? What's the good of being a Marchioness if you can't do what you like?" "That's just it," she snaps out; "you can't. It would not be doing the straight thing by the family.
We think we know best, we want our way and we nag or boss the other one; and nagging or bossing leads on to the tendency to despise the other one. Our very attitude of superiority sets us up above them. Then, when at the bottom of our hearts we despise someone, we blame them for everything and yet we think we love. Then what about "seeking not our own," that is, not being selfish?
The unfeeling Mills was taking a frivolous view of the case by this time, and as he strode rapidly along behind, losing ground at every jump, however, he encouraged Budd and the bear alternately with flippant remarks: "Stick to him, Budd! Whoaouw! Go it bar!" "You're the boss bar-buster, old man. Can't buck you off!" "Whoopee Hellitylarrup!" "Who's bossing that job, Budd; you or the bar?"
"They was all on thorns to do it; they all paid their shares, all except the Queen of Sheba." The Queen of Sheba was Clara. "And wouldn't she join?" Paul asked. "She didn't get the chance; we never told her; we wasn't going to have HER bossing THIS show. We didn't WANT her to join." Paul laughed at the woman. He was much moved. At last he must go. She was very close to him.
"I was down Bangor way doin' a piece of work, and a fellow come along, and says he, 'I want you should hurry up on that job. 'Hello! says I, 'I guess I'll pull out. Well, we calculate to do our work," he added, with an accent which sufficiently implied that their consciences needed no bossing in the performance.
"Just what I was wondering about," from Van Emmon. "The humans seem to do all the work, and the bees the bossing!" The doctor expected this. "The Venusians had our viewpoint the viewpoint of people on the earth, when they said that the workers rule. We consider the bee as a great worker, don't we? 'As busy as a bee, you know. None of the so-called lower animals show greater industry."
He had counted on her promised support, on her wit and spirit to carry him through, and her conduct was simply cowardly. "The fact is, Mrs. Shaw," he said, "Jim Morrison's not bossing this show at all. That's where the mistake has come in. My aunt, Lady Wolvercote, is a bit of an autocrat, don't you know, and she doesn't like us fellows to arrange things on our own account.
"Right there is where the need of bossing begins. You can't stay in town any longer. There's nothing here to keep you from going crazy; and the Allens are altogether too sympathetic; nice folks, and they mean well, but you don't want a bunch like that slopping around, crying all over you and keeping you in mind of things. I'm going to work for Carl, from now on.
We can rely on Brull." The Brull dynasty had been bossing the district for thirty years, with ever-increasing power. The founder of this sovereign house had been Rafael's grandfather, the shrewd don Jaime, who had established the family fortune by fifty years of slow exploitation of ignorance and poverty.
Finally, the soldiers and Cubans who acted as stevedores, carrying the boxes from the boats and piling them on the pier, were not intelligently directed, and, consequently, labored without method or judgment getting in one another's way; allowing the pier to become so blocked up with stuff that nobody could move on it, much less work; and wasting more energy in talking, shouting, and bossing one another than they utilized in doing the thing that was to be done.
