You all suspected my best friend!" "If it's any consolation, we're very much ashamed of it," Colston replied. "And there was one exception; Muriel never shared our views." Cyril still looked disturbed. "Its obvious that I've given everybody a good deal of trouble, but I feel that you deserved it for your foolishness. May I ask on what grounds you suspected Jack?"
"Oh no, Lamb ducky, you mustn't do that!" she cried incautiously. The grown-up Lamb frowned. "My dear Anthea," he said, "how often am I to tell you that my name is Hilary or St. Maur or Devereux? any of my baptismal names are free to my little brothers and sisters, but not 'Lamb' a relic of foolishness and far-off childhood." This was awful. He was their elder brother now, was he?
"If I had to think ob all dat ere foolishness eber' time I open my mouth, I'd done been tongue-tied afore I was born." "I could teach you in no time," volunteered Polly, eagerly. "I don't want to be teached," protested Mandy, doggedly. "Hast Jones says I's too smart anyhow. Men don't like women knowin' too much it skeers 'em.
You didn't think then did you? that I cared so very much for you? I am so glad that the Father bewitched me as he did, for I can remember no foolishness on my part to you, sir none at all. Can you?" Stammering, confused, I seemed to have lost my tongue and my head together.
I had no doubt that it would differ entirely from my own, since his came down from an unknown sphere towards which I was striving to raise myself; convinced that my thoughts would have seemed pure foolishness to that perfected spirit, I had so completely obliterated them all that, if I happened to find in one of his books something which had already occurred to my own mind, my heart would swell with gratitude and pride as though some deity had, in his infinite bounty, restored it to me, had pronounced it to be beautiful and right.
"I've been a whole lot of places with you and I hope to go with you a whole lot more, but I claim it is downright foolishness to stick our heads into a brigand's lair. What's the use? The best we can get is the worst of it." "Stubbs," said Hal quietly, "you don't have to go along if you don't want to. You can stay right here." "What?" exclaimed the little man. "Stay here by myself?
Some of them shoot even better than I do. I don't like it when a fellow gets killed so foolishly! Sometimes I used to look at your soldiers and wonder at them. There's foolishness for you! They go, the poor fellows, all in a clump, and even sew red collars to their coats! How can they help being hit! One gets killed, they drag him away and another takes his place!
"And I say so again, bebee, as much or more." "Time flows on, I engage in many matters, in most miscarry. Am sent to prison; says I to myself, I am become foolish. Am turned out of prison, and go back to the hairy ones, who receive me not over courteously; says I, for their unkindness, and my own foolishness, all the thanks to that gorgio.
He felt an endless isolation strike cold to his heart, against which he held the limp body of the wounded kid, wondering the while, with a half-contempt for his own foolishness, why he took such trouble to save a tiny scrap of the worthless tissue which is called life. Even when a man does not know or care where he is going, if he steps onward he will get there.
"What foolishness," growled Carl, "to tire themselves at the beginning of the journey! But they're racing in earnest that's certain. Halloo! Peter's flagging!" "Not so!" cried Ludwig. "Catch him being beaten!" "Ha! ha!" sneered Carl. "I tell you, boy, Benjamin is ahead." Now, if Ludwig disliked anything in this world, it was to be called a boy probably because he was nothing else.
