All Christmas day we toiled and the Indians at our side. We found them ready, not without skill, gay and biddable. Toward sunset came Guacanagari. All the little shore was strewn and heaped with our matters.
"Perhaps not," thinking it over; "but you are very brave." "I don't think I'm brave," thinking it over on her own part, "but it seemed as if there were things I must do. But now you will advise me." She was as biddable as a child, he told his wife afterwards, and that a woman of her height and carriage should be as biddable as she might have been at six years old, was an effective thing.
I do not think, I will tell you candidly that Wickam is a person of very cheerful spirit, or what one would call a 'A daughter of Momus, Miss Tox softly suggested. 'Exactly so, said Mrs Chick; 'but she is exceedingly attentive and useful, and not at all presumptuous; indeed I never saw a more biddable woman.

"You'll never give in that a horse could be cursed with a natural ill-temper. But there are ill-tempered people: why not ill-tempered horses?" "Bedad, I dunno!" said Patsy, scratching his head thoughtfully. He stood up with a jerk.
