"Do those Parisians fancy we are all idiots," cried one, "and think they have only got to hold their hats and catch legacies?" "They came to fleece, but they have got shorn themselves," said another; "the nephew is not to the uncle's taste." "And, if you please, they actually consulted a lawyer in Paris " "Ah! had they really a plan?" "Why, of course, a plan to get possession of old Rouget.
I'm doing my share in building. I'm not hired to educate these idiots." Pen eyed Jim intently, trying to get his viewpoint and turning old Iron Skull's words over in her mind. Jim was standing with his hat under his arm and his brown hair blowing across his forehead. "Pen," he said suddenly, "you are the most beautiful woman in the world." Pen blushed clean to her eyebrows.
Sandworth felt the ground slip from beneath her feet. "Good gracious me! If he's not in love with her, nor she with him, what are you making all this fuss about?" The doctor thrust out his lips. "I'm only protesting in my usual feeble, inadequate manner, after the harm's all done, at idiots and egotists laying their dirty hands on a sacred thing the right of youth to its own life "
I do not think there is anything stupid or ignorant about howling at the moon or being afraid of devils in the dark. It seems to me perfectly philosophical. Why should a man be thought a sort of idiot because he feels the mystery and peril of existence itself?

"Why, this affair, of course!
'I will do my best to provide for them, the count persisted in his air of humility, 'though it is a question with some whether idiots should live.

I don't see why we shouldn't we've always been such pals and we're going to be a kind of cousins " "Tell me about Peter." "Oh, there's nothing much that stands telling. We were two idiots two silly asses. I insulted him and he struck out. I called him a cad I believe I called him a damned cad." "To his face?" "To his nose." "Oh, you shouldn't have done that."

And there are brazen idiots among them who have never learned their own art of sophistry like Dr. Schmidt and Snot-Nose, and such like them. They set themselves against me in this matter, which not only transcends sophistry, but as St.
Adan bin Kaushan was in appearance a strong wiry Bedouin, before obtaining from me a turban he wore his bushy hair dyed dun, about forty- five years old, at least six feet high, with decided features, a tricky smile, and an uncertain eye. In character he proved to be one of those cunning idiots so peculiarly difficult to deal with.
