Even so does the Narbonne Lycosa struggle when we try to take away her pill. Each displays the same pluck and the same devotion; and also the same denseness in distinguishing her property from that of others.

"I am afraid," he said, "that I must plead guilty to denseness in this particular instance, at any rate. I am altogether at a loss to account for it." "You have had some conversation with my wife, I believe?" "Yes. But " "Before you proceed, Mr. Aynesworth," Barrington interrupted, "one word.
Surely her conscience troubled her, for on his not answering immediately she said, "Do you presume to disbelieve me? What could have made me return except to fill the pans again?" "Nothing," Gavin admitted eagerly, "and I assure you " Babbie should have been grateful to his denseness, but it merely set her mind at rest. "Say anything against me you choose," she told him.
With a tremendous jerk he managed to free his throat from Slim's grasp. An instant later he gave the youth's neck a twist which almost broke it. Then he landed a vicious kick which put poor Slim out of business.

Damaris, still nestling, shook her head. "No no one. And I hope now, no one will. I escaped that, partly thanks to my own denseness.

Forty-five acres had been promised to each settler-family; it was found necessary to diminish the number to four, and the denseness of the bush rendered even those four unmanageable. Disgusted with Granville Town, the new comers transferred themselves to the present site of Freetown, the northern Libreville.
Love spoke there. The Mormon had seized upon the single elemental point that concerned him and his friend in their relation to this unfortunate girl. His simple, powerful statement united them; it gave the lie to his hint of denseness; it stripped the truth naked. It was such a wonderful thought-provoking statement that Shefford needed time to ponder how deep the Mormon was.
