He would smile at pictures of the waning of the honeymoon, where the husband returns to his book and his dog, and the wife sits apart sad and neglected; it was inevitable that the man should tire, he had other things to think of; but that the wife should be the first to be bored was incredible, and worse: it was unwomanly.
They couldn't get anywhere with their work or their play. The only cure that I know of for a boy or girl with a flat tire is more of God's uplifting strength. God says that they who trust in Him shall run, and not be weary. Probably all boys and girls whisper in school if they think the teacher will not catch them.
You are not my son's equal in refinement or education; he would soon discover that, and tire of you." Dora spoke no word, the tears falling from her bright eyes; this time there was no young lover to kiss them away. She made no reply and when Lady Earle sent for her father, Dora ran away; she would hear no more.
I knew father at once, and the old chestnut mare he used to ride an animal with legs like timbers and a mule rump; but you couldn't tire her, and no beast that ever was calved could get away from her. The boy was a half-caste that father had picked up somewhere; he was as good as two men any day. 'So you've come at last, growled father, 'and a good thing too.
What would have been Arthur's lot now had he been tied at nineteen to an illiterate woman older than himself, with no qualities in common between them to make one a companion for the other, no equality, no confidence, and no love speedily?

The bore is stronger and more joyous than we are; he is a demigod nay, he is a god. For it is the gods who do not tire of the iteration of things; to them the nightfall is always new, and the last rose as red as the first. The sense that everything is poetical is a thing solid and absolute; it is not a mere matter of phraseology or persuasion. It is not merely true, it is ascertainable.
The two men, drinking in silence, lost their patience and fidgeted about on the bench, each hoping that the other would tire of waiting. At last their ill-humor overflowed, and naturally poor Risler received the whole flood. "What an outrage to keep a man of my years waiting so long!" began M. Chebe, who never mentioned his great age except upon such occasions.
It is not work, and not weakness, but annoyance and worry, that tire and drive women into nervous diseases. When we find the American and German mothers subjected to the same strain, and only the same strain, may we fairly judge of their comparative strength and health, and only then. Where are the statistics concerning German women resident in this country?
And when she was fatigued and breathless, he made her sit down beside him, in a little summer-house, and, fondly stroking down her disordered tresses, said, "You tire me out, child; I am growing too old to play with you. Lumley must supply my place. You love Lumley?" "Oh, dearly, he is so good-humoured, so kind: he has given me such a beautiful doll, with such eyes!"
Sandford permitted her to walk a little way herself on her own feet. A little way at first, across the floor and back; no more that day; but from that time Daisy felt whole again.
