However it be, no one can deny that in all the present upheavals it is at least practical to discuss the ethics of revolt. We can count on a minority who will see wisdom in such a discussion; it must be our aim to make the discussion effective. We must be patient as well as resolute. We are apt to get impatient and by hasty denunciation drive off many who are wavering and may be won.
I expect he'll want to go out soon at any rate, some time during the day. Let him go whenever he likes. I'll sit upstairs a bit in the club-room." "Very well. But how do you know Steggles will be going out?" "Well, he's pretty restless after his lost protégé, isn't he? I don't suppose he'll be able to remain idle long." "And about Crockett. Do you give him up?" "Oh, no! Don't you be impatient.
The Count made an impatient gesticulation, and then threw his hands apart in a deprecating way, as if he accepted the position in despair. "Yes," he said; "you brave Englishmen, you never give up. You will do it, then?" "Oh yes, sir; we've got to do it; and what do they say? Time and tide wait for no man; so I'll thank you all to clear off and let me and my lads get to work.

"Oh, it's not worth while fixing a time. I'll simply give hint; the message." "Very well, do. Add that I certainly will fix a time to see him though. Be sure to say that too." Pyotr Stepanovitch ran off, grinning. He was, in fact, to the best of my recollection, particularly spiteful all this time, and ventured upon extremely impatient sallies with almost every one.
We are naturally impatient of troublesome and complex theories; but what we gain in the simplicity of an hypothesis, we commonly lose in the difficulty of getting the facts to square with it.
She broke out now, impatient at Sylvia's silence: "Any fool could see that it was because I couldn't bear to see you with Felix another minute, and because I hadn't any other way to get you apart. Everybody else there knew why. I knew they knew. But I couldn't help it. I couldn't bear it another instant!" She broke the glass of decent reticence with a great clattering blow.
Why was it that he must needs turn his powers to such evil account?" "But Harry Grant?" "I must fear he is irrevocably lost. Poor children! Who can tell them where their father is?" "I can!" replied Paganel. "Yes; I can!" One could not help remarking that the geographer, so loquacious and impatient usually, had scarcely spoken during Ayrton's examination. He listened without opening his mouth.
Then he leant across the wheel-box, and lowered his voice. "It came over the lee rail up out of the sea," he added, with an air of telling something unbelievable. I turned more towards him; but it was too dark to see his face with any distinctness. I felt suddenly husky. "My God!" I thought. And then I made a silly effort to protest; but he cut me short with a certain impatient hopelessness.
A party of wild young men, with no motive but that of entertaining themselves by annoying and injuring the feelings of others, had assembled at the meeting, hooting and yelling, and in various ways interrupting the services, and causing much disturbance. Those who had the charge of the meeting, having tried their persuasive powers in vain, grew impatient and tried threatening.
