"Not much. In fact, I took a particular dislike to the fellow. Wrong type of sportsman, eh?" "Decidedly. Fine figure of a man and good-looking enough, but spoilt by that objectionable, cock-sure manner." "And I should say a by no means decent character." "A swanker to the finger-tips. And that implies a liar." "Not worth discussing," Kelson said. "He goes to-morrow.
"And do you think he'll be satisfied with them?" "He ought to be. I don't like to be cock-sure, but I believe I really do believe that I've given him rather more than he expected. It's going to be a devilish good house, though I say it myself." "Something new-fangled and fantastic, eh? Well, he mayn't care about it, you know.
I must act politely for I am always polite and Athanase also is in favour of politeness but I take leave to say that Joris Hyde shall not carry so much sail when a few weeks are gone by. So happy he looks! So pleased with himself! So sure of all he says and does! I am angry at him all the time. Well, then, it will be a satisfaction to abate a little the confidence of this cock-sure young man."
The American who leaves his conscience and his tub at home, and who trusts to being clean and good after a foreign fashion, has an easier time, and is not permanently stained. Being less cock-sure in the start about his standing with Heaven, he is subject to reasonable doubts as to the culpability of other people.
And Stephen pointed to where Loman stood in his ordinary clothes talking to some of his fellows. "Well, that is a piece of luck!" said Paul. "Who's to take his place?" "Baynes, they say. He's no use, though." "Don't you be too cock-sure, you two," growled Bramble. "I say we shall beat you even if Loman don't play. Got any brandy-balls left, Greenfield?"
"So it is; only a little higher pluck! Of course he means that I can't come near himself." "You wouldn't pretend to?" asked Ada. "What! to be shot at like him, and to like it. I don't know any girl that can come quite up to that. Only if one becomes quite cock-sure, as he is, that one won't be hit, I don't see the courage." "Oh, I do!" "But now about this ball?" said Edith.
But they don't make me disagreeable to everybody." Mr. Spinks craned forward as far as the height of his collar permitted him. "I wouldn't be too cock-sure if I were you, Mr. Soper." The young end of the table heaved and quivered with primeval mirth. Even Flossie Walker was moved to a faint smile. For Mr.
They both made a grimace, and laughed nervously. 'Get the frying-pan, said Emmie to Matilda. 'But he's as cocky as ever, said Matilda, narrowing her eyes and shaking her head knowingly, as she handed the frying-pan. 'Mannie! said Emmie sarcastically. Hadrian's new-fledged, cock-sure manliness evidently found no favour in her eyes. 'Oh, he's not bad, said Matilda.
How did it happen that this bustling, nineteenth-century man, full of the almost cock-sure common-sense of the utilitarian and liberal epoch, came to associate his name chiefly in literary history with the perpetuation of a half pagan and half Catholic festival which he would certainly have called an antiquity and might easily have called a superstition?
Una was by this cock-sure disillusioned, large person more delighted than by all the wisdom of Mr. Wilkins or the soothing of Mrs. Sessions. She felt that, except for Walter, it was the first time since she had come to New York that she had found an entertaining person. "Yes," she said, "do let's try it." "Good!
