"And other women have such a splendid time!" she exclaimed. "The disgusting thing is that he goes all the while to Violet Mansfield." "She's dull enough and quite old too." "No, she isn't dull. You're wrong there." "I daresay. She doesn't amuse me." "She's not your sort." "Too feverish, too keen, brainy in the wrong way. I like brains, mind you, and I know where they are.
"Don't, Spike! This is more than man was meant to stand. Do you mean to tell me it is my bright, brainy, persevering friend Galer who has been handcuffed and locked in the coal-cellar?" Spike grinned broadly. "Sure, dat's right," he said. "It's a judgment," said Jimmy, delightedly. "That's what it is! No man has a right to be such a consummate ass as Galer. It isn't decent."
I reckon the dervish and the camel-driver was just a pair a fine, smart, brainy rascal, and a dull, coarse, ignorant one, but both of them rascals, just the same." "Mars Tom, does you reckon dey's any o' dat kind o' salve in de worl' now?" "Yes, Uncle Abner says there is.
Rizzi probably got well paid; at any rate, he was constantly demonstrating his fitness "to do big things in a big way," and be received into the small company of the elect to go forth and blackmail on his own hook and hire some other picciott' to set off the bombs. Whoever the capo maestra that Rizzi worked for, he was not only a deep-dyed villain, but a brainy one.
Look at the fireplace and the four windows! My eye! And the tier of bunks is neat as a ship's cabin. Bear a hand here with the spring. I'm all of a quaver to see if it fits," cried the man. "I made the bunks regulation size, so I guess there won't be any trouble about that," Ted answered. "The head on the lad!" the Irishman cried. "Ain't he the brainy one, though?
He is the brainy exception of craft united to common sense, and he uses these to best advantage for his own interests. Thunder-maker's method of divining was very simple after all nay, even childish. We have seen it performed by redskin jugglers, as we have also seen the same effects produced by Arab diviners on the Syrian desert.
"I thought perhaps you hadn't from your tone," explained Madge. "But if she's already engaged to him, why risk criticism of him," argued Joan, ignoring Madge's flippancy. "It's too late." "Oh, she's going to break it off unless we all assure her that we find him brainy," Madge explained with a laugh. "It seems her father wasn't brainy and her mother was.
They wear no uniforms, neither do they adorn themselves with any of the stylish trappings of war, but they are brainy, resourceful men, highly useful if not ornamental. Like Oliver Cromwell's hard-faced "Roundheads," they are the children of a great emergency, not much to look at, but full of a "get there" quality, which many school-bred soldiers lack entirely.
She'd get engaged to some brainy clever chap worth a dozen of his own mediocre self.... Of course she liked him dearly as a pal and all that, an ancient crony and chum but how should he hope to compete with the brilliant fellers she'd meet as she went about more, and knew them. She was going to have a season in London next year. Think of the kind of chaps she'd run across in Town in the season.
But I feel sorry for poor devils who don't happen to be as lucky or as brainy as I am. What do you say to a turn in the Park? We'll take a hansom, and kind of jog along. And we'll stop at the Casino and at Gabe's for a drink." "I have to get up so early," began Susan. "Oh, that's all right." He slowly winked at her. "You'll not have to bump the bumps for being late tomorrow if you treat me right."
