Taillefer's youngster is an expert swordsman, and quite cocksure about it, but he will be bled; I have just invented a thrust for his benefit, a way of raising your sword point and driving it at the forehead. I must show you that thrust; it is an uncommonly handy thing to know." Rastignac heard him in dazed bewilderment; he could not find a word in reply.
She turned aside and stood motionless a moment, resting against the stair rail as though to steady herself. Her small head was lowered. He managed to say: "You will give me the next?" "No." "Then the next " "No," she said, not moving. A young fellow came up eagerly, cocksure of her, but she shook her head and shook her head to all and Berkley remained standing beside her.
Meanwhile we have our cocksure little guides, some of whom say to us, "That is primitive, therefore it is good," and others, "This is up-to-date, therefore it is better." Not very wise persons any of them, I fear. And again, writing of Catholic Modernism in France: We have given our reasons for rejecting the Modernist attempt at reconstruction.
Tave said Roman told him she knew a lot of the nobility, marchionesses and 'sich'; and now Roman struts around cocksure, high and mighty as if he'd just been made K.C.B., and there's no getting any steady work out of him. You should have seen Tave's face when he was telling me!" His mother laughed. "I can imagine it; he's worried over this new move of Almeda's. I confess it puzzles me."
In late May there came a wail for help from the cocksure buyer. A few days of unseasonably warm weather and a strong east wind had revealed the reason for the bargain. Back of a wooded area to the rear of his holding, was a combination hog farm and refuse dump.
His lordship continued: "I quite believe you; at least, I believe you would rather have held your tongue than bitten it off. I certainly should. But pardon my saying so I cannot understand ... I'm not finding fault or doubting you ... I cannot understand how you came to be so so ... I won't say cocksure let's call it sanguine. If there had been time I could have understood it.
However, his confidence impressed her. Cocksure he was, and before long she knew him boastful; but competence sat on him, none the less. She thought she could see why he was held to be the most deadly bloodhound on a trail that even Arizona could produce. That he was fearless she did not need to be told, any more than she needed a certificate that on occasion he could be merciless.
We all spoiled you terribly when you were a little boy and let you grow up en prince and I must say you took to it! But you've received a pretty heavy jolt, and I had enough of your disposition, myself, at your age, to understand a little of what cocksure youth has to go through inside when it finds that it can make terrible mistakes. Poor old fellow!
A little two-legged man with his cocksure reason strutting on its tiny brain as the apex of attainment he ridicules. D'ye see, now?" I gasped, I lit a big pipe and listened. He went on.
His club-footed reading of the verses had irritated her, and she had tried hard to hide from him that his cocksure opinions and the tone in which they were pronounced jarred on her. "It's all right, Ed, but please don't touch me just now," she said. He was in the act of leaning over her chair, but he saw her shrink, and refrained. "Poor old girl!" he said sympathetically.
