It would be a fine thing for you, no doubt, if you could sneak round her behind my back! Don't I know you'd be all for old Sir Michael's will then, and I might die in a gutter, for you! But an egg, and an egg's fair sharing." "Have I said it was any other?" Asgill asked gloomily. "The old place is mine, and I'm minded to keep it."
It was only because he had felt himself able to run away at any minute that he had not wanted to do so; now, however, that he had become familiar with life in Ashpit Place he no longer minded it, and could live gladly in lower parts of London than that so long as he could pay his way. It was from no prudence or forethought that he had served this apprenticeship to life among the poor.
Vincent really unhappy about Bee being so very sweet and good before people, but not really so good when one saw more of her. Mrs. Vincent would not let Miss Pink see that she minded what she said; she would hardly own it to herself. But for all that it had left a sting. "Can I have been mistaken in Bee?" was the thought that kept coming into her mind.
In fact, it was almost demonstrable that an alert criminal like the man they were pursuing if he really were the ally of Hunter's slayers could hardly have failed to realize much earlier that he was being followed. Moreover, being an expert motorist, he would know that the car in the rear could not only hold him in the race but close up with him whenever its occupants were so minded.
Now I am minded to say to you, 'Begone from my poor country, Lord Inca, in safety, but leave my daughter behind you." Now at these words, I, Hubert, saw the fires of hope burn up in the large eyes of Quilla, as they did in my own heart, for might they not mean that she would escape from Urco after all? But, alas, they were extinguished like a brand that is dipped in water.
She was apt to speak of herself as one who had but a few days left to her in this world. But, to her, property was more important than life or death; and rank probably more important than either. She was a brave, fierce, evil-minded, but conscientious old woman, one, we may say, with very bad lights indeed, but who was steadfastly minded to walk by those lights, such as they were.
Spenser did not live to finish his work; The Fairy Queen, like the Aeneid, is an uncompleted poem, and it is only from a prefatory letter to Sir Walter Raleigh issued with the second published section that we know what the poem was intended to be. Had Spenser not published this explanation, it is impossible that anybody, even the acutest minded German professor, could have guessed.
The moon was reflected in the water and I sat there very still. Suddenly my brother, the one who is well, with whom I do not have much to do, asked, 'What are you thinking of? 'Nothing at all. 'It must be something. 'No, nothing! As we climbed out, I was still quite absent minded. Also at night I always had the moon before me and spoke with it." "Consciously or in a dream?"
I finally asked them to direct me to where some infidel or gambler lived. They wanted to know what on earth I wanted of such. I replied: "To get something to eat. Infidels and gamblers are too liberal- minded to turn a stranger away from their door. The Saviour ate with publicans and sinners for the very reason that we do, for the Scribes and Pharisees would not feed Him."
And when the moment came they were minded to resist and suffer rather than to fly and save their lives; they ran away from the word of dishonor, but on the battlefield their feet stood fast; and while for a moment they were in the hands of fortune, at the height, not of terror, but of glory, they passed away. Such was the end of these men; they were worthy of their country."
