I am sorry," I said, for the private in question was one of the smartest and best-tempered men in our troop. "So's everybody," replied Denham. "I say: it was contusion in his case, not collusion." "Where is he?" I said. "In hospital. Duncombe's a bit uneasy about him. I'm going on again to see him. Will you come?" "Of course," I said eagerly. "Come along, then.
The four sides of the funeral monolith were covered with figures and hieroglyphs as carefully engraved as the intaglio of a gem, although the Egyptians did not know the use of iron, and the grain of basalt is hard enough to blunt the best-tempered steel.
Now, as for our friend the landlord, I am sorry to say that his new business doesn't seem to have improved his manners or his temper a great deal. As a miller, he was one of the best-tempered men in the world, and wouldn't have harmed a kitten.

I believe he is one of the very best-tempered men that ever existed. Excepting yourself and your brother, I do not know his equal for temper.
Now Jemmy was the best-tempered fellow in the world, but, at the same time, the very best-tempered people have limits to their forbearance, and do not like to be taken liberties with by strangers: so felt Jemmy, who, seizing the young man firmly by the waistband of his trousers just below the hips, lifted him from the ground, and with a strength which astonished all present, threw him clean over the table, his body sweeping away both the candles, so they were all left in darkness.
The bull-dog or bull-terrier is generally the most friendly and best-tempered dog in the world; but when he is put down in the ring he fights till he drops, in grim silence, though his feet are bitten through and through, his ears are in rags, and his neck a hideous mass of wounds.
