It were strange, very strange indeed, if persons combining with superior station a great mental superiority, should be content, while claiming the deference of the subordinate part of the community around them, that this high distinction should go for nothing in that claim, and that the required respect should be paid only in reverence of the number of their acres, the size of their houses, the elegance of their equipage and domestic arrangements, and perhaps some official capacity, in which many a notorious blockhead has strutted and blustered.
He reddened. "Newspaper scandal!" he blustered, but changed the subject as soon as he had shown me and re-shown himself that his motives were pure. I saw that Burbank's last winter was to be crucial. My clients were clamorous, and were hinting at all sorts of dire doings if they were not treated better.
I begged him to give up that dreadful, paralyzing waiting at the side for his cue, and after a time he took my advice. He was never obstinate in such matters. His one object was to find out, to test suggestion, and follow it if it stood his test. He was very diplomatic when he meant to have his own way. He never blustered or enforced or threatened.
"I'm hanged if I stop," I answered without looking back; and had him almost in tears before I swung round on him so suddenly that he yelped with fear. "What are you bothering me for?" I blustered. "Do you want me to wring your neck?" "Oh, I'll go, sir! I'll go, I'll go," he moaned. "I've a good mind not to let you. I wouldn't if I was fit to walk five miles." "But I'll roon 'em, sir!

Some of the men declared that it had set in for good, and that there never would be any other wind as long as the world lasted. At length one morning when Medley and I were below, we heard the first mate shouting, "All hands up anchor! Fair wind, boys!
"Let him sleep, if he wants to. His feet are getting warm. He'll be all right." "Lookee here," blustered the long-nosed man. "I come in for half, remember. I helped fetch him in. If it hadn't been for my help he'd have frozen solid where he was, or else the watchman would have picked him up and taken him off. I'm going, now. I've got business to tend to same as before I was interrupted.

'No, indeed, sir, returned Mrs. Sparsit, 'I should hope not. Say no more, sir. I would, sir, I could see you gay again. 'What do you mean, ma'am? blustered Bounderby. 'Sir, rejoined Mrs.
"I reckon an Indian did it, but you are the Indian." "Come, stop your gabble, you boys!" blustered the doughty engineman, speaking to everybody and with a show of authority. "Bucks, notify the despatcher I'm in the river." "Get back to your engine, then," said Scott. "Don't ask Bucks to send in a false report.
