"My son, an it please your Majesty, so far as he is concerned, shall not direct my doings," said the earl, "nor any wild-headed young man of them all." "Why, neither shall they mine," replied the monarch; "by my father's saul, none of them all shall play Rex with me I will do what I will, and what I ought, like a free king." "Your Majesty will then grant me my boon?" said the Lord Huntinglen.
Socially, as the rather wild-headed daughter of an impoverished and obscure Earl, she could do but little. She too was a poor intriguer. She could only demand with blatant vividness. Once on a flying visit to Lord Mountshire, she tried to interest him in the man whom, to her indignation, he persisted in styling her protege.
They endeavour to draw them to their party, or drive them from attending to religion at all. Truth will make a man valiant; and valour for truth will make a pilgrim fight with wild-headed, inconsiderate, and pragmatic opposers. He does not attempt to hide himself, or run from his and his Lord's enemies. O that pilgrims, especially those that are young were better trained to this battle!
Solmes was to be at hand And your father was previously to try his authority over you, in order to make you sign the settlements All of it a romantic contrivance of your wild-headed foolish brother, I make no doubt.

The bloody battle that Valiant fought, you must know, was not fought at the mouth of any dark lane in the midnight city, nor on the side of any lonely road in the moonless country.
Susanna suddenly called out to the girl sitting upon the porch step and thus ruefully communing with herself: "Ka-ty! Katharine!" "Yes, Widow Sprigg! Here I am coming. What is it? Something to do?" "Well, I should say 'twas somethin' to do! Here's that wild-headed Monty took an' scampered off just as I was takin' this batch of punkin pies out the oven.

At the end of this long speech his face, which had in the middle of it been sombre with a sense of his own iniquity, suddenly cleared, until a radiant smile transfigured it.
Yes, bring the shawl; you'll need it t' keep the snow off your face," he called, authoritatively. "'Tain't snowin', is it?" she asked as she shut the door and came to the sleigh's side. "Clear as a bell," he said as he helped her in. "Then where'll the snow come from?" "From Marc's heels." "Goodness sakes! you don't expect me t' ride after that wild-headed critter, do you?"
It was similarly tested more than once during those early years. He was regarded as a curious child. At times dreamy and silent, again wild-headed and noisy, with sudden impulses that sent him capering and swinging his arms into the wind until he would fall with shrieks and spasms of laughter and madly roll over and over in the grass.
He fixed aloft his pain-clouded eyes, adoring with a respect inspired by fear the sacred institution which had burned his forefathers alive.
