"Brother Walters," says that preacher, "we are going to pray for you." And they done it.
On his way to join Aunt Martha, Uncle Jepson, who had watched the rider narrowly during his talk with Willard, found time to whisper: "I had a mule once that wasn't any stubborner than Willard Masten."

Norman is the only man I ever met who agrees with me that the Kaiser of Germany is the most dangerous creature alive on this earth and I can't marry this sensible person because my sister is stubborn and I'm stubborner. Mark my words, St. George, the minister would come back if she raised her little finger.
The Farleys were said to be rich and steadily growing richer not out of Chiawassee Iron, to be sure, but in others of their multifarious out-reachings; very good, he would be rich, too. What a Duxbury Farley could do, he would do; on a larger scale and with a stubborner patience. He
I realized all this fully as I stood, with burning cheeks and downcast eyes, at the very elbow of my tormentor. But I am glad to know that I would not have run away even if I could.
