Custom, and the caste I know no other word just the bull-headed, asinine, undemocratic caste that custom has built up." "And yet there must be discipline," Katie murmured: it seemed dreadful Wayne should be tearing down their house in that rude fashion, house in which they had dwelt so long, and so comfortably. "Discipline is one thing. Bullying's another.
If he had not piped so stridently, we should not have had half so much sport; yet small largess does the miserable minstrel get for tooting tunelessly. Let us honor the brave who fall in the battle of print. 'Twas a noble ambition, after all, which caused our asinine friend to cloak himself in that cast leonine skin. Who would be always reciting from a hornbook to Mistress Minerva?
"Take that lantern out of my eyes, and hustle me up some breakfast. I I'm sorry about Billy!" I was not; I was startled, and worse. It had not been Dudley who had dismissed him, asinine as he had been about Billy and old Thompson, or he would have told me.
His claim on fair young Rose's love had grown in the short while so prodigiously asinine that it was a minor matter to constitute himself an old eccentric's puppet. 'No more an imposition than it's 50 of Virgil, quoth the rejected usher. 'It smells of a plot, said Evan. 'It 's the best joke that will be made in my time, said Mr. Raikes, rubbing his hands.
But how did that woman manage to stick to me in that way? What was the mistake we made?" Thorndyke laughed grimly. "It was a perfectly asinine mistake, Jervis.

I exclaimed, completely puzzled for the moment.
The servant is required chiefly to know two things perfectly: the one is the nature of his lord, because there are lords of such an asinine nature that they command the opposite of that which they desire; and there are others who, without speaking, wish to be understood and served; and there are others who will not let the servant move to do that which is needful, unless they have ordered it.
The gravest historians of the Netherlands often relieved their elephantine labors by the most asinine gambols, and it was not to be expected that these bustling weavers and cutlers should excel their literary superiors in taste or elegance. Philip the Fair enrolled himself as a member in one of these societies.
The mere fact that he had ended that asinine Morrell affair somehow made him think he had made it all up to Nan, and he settled back tacitly and without further preliminaries into what his mood considered a most satisfactory domestic basis. That is, he took his home and his home life for granted. It was there when he needed it.
But still I love the Old Travelers. I love them for their witless platitudes, for their supernatural ability to bore, for their delightful asinine vanity, for their luxuriant fertility of imagination, for their startling, their brilliant, their overwhelming mendacity! What excellent order they kept about that vast depot!
"But but if he's poor?" I dared to question. "Oh, that'll be all right. I'm so thankful for the way everything has turned out, I'd give her half my fortune. That would be asinine, of course; but I shall settle a thousand a year on her for life, and give her a wedding present of a cheque for twenty thousand, I think. Should you say that would be enough to satisfy them?"
