This wood is really harder than iron, and I confess that the man who could bend it, would really be my master. I should not be ashamed to call him so, for he must be of better stuff than I." As he finished speaking, Bartja appeared in the circle of assembled Persians.
"You did me a good turn, all right," Tom said, with simple gratitude in his tone. "But I mean the big brother stuff," his companion said; "I'm not so much of a dabster at that. You're the one for that you're a scoutologist." "A what?" Tom said. "A scout specialist. One who has studied scoutology. You're the one to manage, what's-his-name, Peewee? And that other kid Ray " "Roy," Tom corrected him.
And yet the stuff of which these yearnings are made, is of the flimsiest: if but the thermometer fall a little below its ordinary Mediterranean level, or a wind come down from the snow-clad Alps behind, the spirit of his fancies changes upon the instant, and many a doleful vignette of the grim wintry streets at home returns to him, and begins to haunt his memory.
There was nothing mean about Bill, and he didn't refuse to take gold watches and sparklers; and after the game closed, some of the fellows resembled picked ducks. They wanted to redeem their watches and diamonds, so Bill agreed to meet them at a certain well known saloon the next day, as all he wanted was the stuff.

I think he worked more strenuously in the field of sheer intellect stirred the thought stuff more than most other Chinese thinkers, and so is more akin to the Western mind; he carves his cerebrations more definitely, and leaves less to the intuition.

Gray was forced reluctantly to admit that his enemy was more strongly intrenched than he had supposed; careful study of the data showed that the Nelson acreage had been well selected and that it was scientifically "checkerboarded" throughout the various fields.
