Moreover, as each new land grows old, it misjudges the yet newer lands, as once it was itself misjudged. The home-staying Englishman of Britain grudges to the Africander his conquest of Matabeleland; and so the home-staying American of the Atlantic States dislikes to see the western miners and cattlemen win for the use of their people the Sioux hunting-grounds.
That is the still open question for America. Every country is a mixture of many strands. There is a Base America, there is a Dull America, there is an Ideal and Heroic America. And I am convinced that at present Europe underrates and misjudges the possibilities of the latter. All about the world to-day goes a certain freemasonry of thought.
We rose, and, going to the door of the tent, scanned the wide plain, but could see no human being crossing it. "You are mistaken this time, Hassan," said Denviers. "What you heard was an owl hooting." "The sahib it is who misjudges," answered the Arab, calmly. "I have heard the warning note of the tribe before."
Confident in Caesar's ability to take the ball at least within kicking distance of the base, they have rushed forward, leaving unguarded their own citadel. Caesar, going too fast, misjudges the distance between himself and the back. A second later the ball is well on its way to the Manor's base. The back awaits it, coolly enough; knowing that Damer's forwards are offside.
"Yes," said Ida, rising abruptly from the table, "I am sick sick of myself, sick of the world." "Good gracious!" exclaimed Mrs. Mayhew, sharply, "are you so wrapt up in that fellow Sibley, that you can't live without him?" Ida made a slight but expressive gesture of protest and disgust; then said, in a low tone, as if to herself: "If my own mother so misjudges me, what can I expect of others?"
When the child tries to seize something without speaking, he thinks he can reach the object, for he does not rightly judge its distance; when he cries and stretches out his hands he no longer misjudges the distance, he bids the object approach, or orders you to bring it to him. In the first case bring it to him slowly; in the second do not even seem to hear his cries.
But it was the first time that she prayed as they pray, for whom no more hope is left but in prayer. Here let me pause a moment for the sake of making somebody angry. A Frenchman, who sadly misjudges Kate, looking at her through a Parisian opera-glass, gives it as his opinion that, because Kate first records her prayer on this occasion, therefore, now first of all she prayed. I think not so.
"Come and speak comfort to my father, Master Nevile," exclaimed Sibyll; "come and tell him that whoever is above the herd, whether knight or scholar, must learn to despise the hootings that follow Merit. Father, Father, they threw mud and stones at thy king as he passed through the streets of London. Thou art not the only one whom this base world misjudges."
I hope the weather does not change. Early Rising. Ballast should be Stowed Away in the Hold before Putting to Sea. Annoying Interference of Providence in Matters that it Does Not Understand. A Socialistic Society. B. Misjudges Me. An Uninteresting Anecdote. We Lay in Ballast. A Moderate Sailor. A Playful Boat. I got up very early this morning. I do not know why I got up early.
If a person really anxious to do right misjudges as to the probable effect of what he is about to say on others, it is quite another thing." "But, uncle, will not such carefulness destroy all freedom in conversation?" said Helen. "If you are talking with a beloved friend, Helen, do you not use an instinctive care to avoid all that might pain that friend?" "Certainly."
