And, harkee, now; when I meet a man I like, and who, after all, has a touch of humanity and truth about him, to such a man, I say, I myself am all truth, at whatever cost; but to every other to your knave, your hypocrite, or your trimmer, for instance, all falsehood deep, downright, wanton falsehood. In fact, I would scorn to throw away truth upon them. "You are badly dressed."
We'll have to drop Mr. Steam a line. How about a cruller, Mr. Trimmer? They were just stolen from our small friend's kitchen. Don't care for stolen fruit, hey? You're too particular, Mr. Trimmer." Seldom has there been a surrender so complete and unconditional. "Do you think he had some treasure in the scow?" Pee-wee asked. "Maybe if we dig we'll find some gold nuggets."
This suited the two captains very well, for they wished to be on hand when the little girl discovered her stocking. "Can you tell me," said the stranger, as he put on his cap, "where I can find a Mrs. Trimmer, who lives in this village?"
In France Governeur Morris remarked that he was too fond of calling fools those who did not agree with him; a sure sign of want of strength. Great minds are essentially tolerant of the opinions of others. They know how easy it is to err. There was a good deal, too, of the Pharisee about Jefferson. 'He was of no party, nor yet a trimmer between parties.
I only kept quiet on condition that you set things straight for your daughter in your will, and left her the three thousand a year her mother placed in your care." "Trimmer, you're presuming. Trimmer, you're a bully. I'll I'll cut your fifty thousand dollars out of my will " "And I'll promptly cut you out of existence, if you do," murmured Trimmer, bending down.
The work of the trimmer is considered one of the most difficult stages in the creation of a hat. The girl who aspires to this work must have an eye for beauty of line and she should know how to harmonize the trimming to the shape of the hat. In smaller establishments the trimmer is also the designer. The girl who has original ideas is always the most important in an establishment.
Link Trimmer came in, a minute later, drunk too, and heard what had happened. He followed Joe to Hodge's saloon and shot him. They've carried him to the drug-store and he's asked to speak to you." I had the satisfaction of kicking that little cuss through the door ahead of me, though I knew it was myself I ought to have kicked.
"We're kind of like one of the slices of breads and the scow is the other slice. It's thick and dark like rye bread," he added to make the picture more graphic. "It's a kind of a legal sandwich," said Townsend, sitting back against the tree with his knees drawn up and talking with a calmness and seriousness which aroused the wrath of old Trimmer. "It's a kind of an interesting situation.
Wait till you hear from me. Give me the letter. Trimmer shall post it." Dora obeyed, and watched him as she drew on her gloves. When the last button was fastened, she took up her muff. "Good-bye good-bye!" he grunted brusquely, offering a bony hand.
Eight cuts of the saw and a good board, eet is gone." "No wonder I don't make money." "There is much more. The trimmer and the edger, they take off too much. They make eight-inch boards where there should be ten, and ten where there should be twelve. You shall have a new crew." "And a new manager," Houston said it quietly. The necessity for his masquerade was fading swiftly now.
