"And so 't is with all women, if a man 's so foolish as to argue. Didst ever hear of ignorance paying heed to reason? There's but one way to deal with the sex: 'Do this, do that; ye shall, ye sha'n't, is all the vocabulary a man needs to make matrimony agreeable. Put your foot down, and, mark me, she'll come to heel like a spaniel.
Then he turned on his heel. "Eh ben, here's mackerel for supper," he added as he mounted his horse. The woman was Guida Landresse, the child was her child, and they lived in the little house upon the cliff at Plemont. They were hastening thither now.
He rolls successively on each of these fragments from the heel to the toe. If he had spokes enough, he would go round and round as the boys do when they "make a wheel" with their four limbs for its spokes. But having only two available for ordinary locomotion, each of these has to be taken up as soon as it has been used, and carried forward to be used again, and so alternately with the pair.
"Then," said Tom, turning on his heel, "then I'll go up the front stairs." As soon as ever the little rebel was old enough, he was sent away to boarding-school, and then there was never found a time when it was convenient to have him come home again.
It is a very fine method, yes... but... well, if it was my boy I had just as lief he tarried with the little white monkeys at the river's edge. Let him squeal and crouch and splash and learn how to half drown the other fellow by shooting water at him with the heel of his hand. Let him alone. He will be watching the others swim.

"Come back after our nugget, George. Fools we were to carry it blazing in folks' eyes." "I dare say we can beat him." "I am game to try. Jacky, I want to put a question to you." While Jacky and Tom were conferring in animated whispers, George was fixing an old spur he had picked up into the heel of his boot. "That is capital, Jacky. Well, George, we have hit upon a plan." "And so have I." "You?"
Rome ground them under her iron heel, and where is the empire of the Caesars? Spain smote the Jew, and where is her glory? The desert sands cover the site of Babylon the Great. The power that hurled the hosts of Titus against the holy city Jerusalem was shivered to pieces.
"Harold, he was ever obedient, he alone of his kith; truly my soul mourns for Harold," said the King, sighing. "The serpent's egg hatches but the serpent. Keep thy heel on it," said William, sternly. "Thou speakest well," said the irresolute prince, who never seemed three days or three minutes together in the same mind. "Harold is in Ireland there let him rest: better for all."
Hattie's tense expression breathed a determination which might have been interpreted do or die; to Hattie life was a battling foe to be overcome and trodden beneath a victorious heel; Hattie was an infantile St. George always on the look for The Dragon, and to-day The Exhibition was The Dragon. Sadie's seriousness was a complacent realization of large responsibility. Her weeping was a feature.
