The men call them "new women" with derision, or mannish, or unsexed; but those who have been among them, and known them as friends, know that they hold in their ranks some of the most generous-hearted, unselfish, big-souled women to exist in England to-day; and that it is just because of that they are able to plod cheerfully on, and laugh that indulgent, pitying little laugh, when an outraged man swells with virtuous indignation, and waxes eloquent upon their want of womanly attributes.
The strange "sleeper" Indians are real Indians, the big-souled Northwest policeman is not a superman, but a real human being, the girl is bonafide, the villain is not fictional, but an actual personality, brave and base alike all the characters are living and breathing folk, that you feel are there in far-off Unaga, and that you know you would find there, were you hardy enough to visit that remorseless country.
You'll have a good dinner; you bet you will. God! what a man Valois was. Dead and gone, poor fellow! "Now, I'm off! don't you linger now." He strides to his carriage, followed by a crowd of "valets de place." All know Joe Woods, the big-souled mining magnate. He always leaves a golden trail. Armand imagines the fairy of good luck has set him dreaming. No; it is all true.
No wonder that successive generations of English undergraduates have failed to respond to the human excellence or social charm, of his hero or paragon, described as 'the big-souled' or 'magnificent man'.

"She is the only woman whom I have ever met with whom I would go tiger-shooting," said Rust to me.
He sat next to me at a Pasdeloup concert in the Cirque d'Hiver, how many years ago I do not care to say. A casual exclamation betrayed my nationality, and during the intermission we drifted into easy conversation. Within five minutes he held me enthralled, did this big-souled, large-brained Irishman from the County Tipperary.
Billy Louise thanked Seabeck, when he was ready to go. "I knew you were square, and you're really big-souled, too. I'll remember it always, Mr. Seabeck." "Will you?" Seabeck looked down at her, with his hand upon the latch. "Even if you are put in a position where you must pay that note you will still Hm-mm! I see.
She would never be mistaken for one of the pupils. Her pupils would learn arithmetic but the arithmetic would be laden with her big spirit, and that would be better for them than the arithmetic could possibly be.
