"It looks as if she didn't want to see me," he said to Bob. "It does, almost," replied Bob cheerfully. "Perhaps she don't." "Well, I'll go over and call to-morrow." "You can if you like. I should let her alone." Very likely Bob's words were the words of wisdom, but when did a lover even a tolerably cool-headed lover like Eugene ever listen to the words of wisdom? He went to bed in a bad temper.
And then again, Lesbia is just one of those cool-headed girls who would keep herself head uppermost in a maelstrom. She knows on which side her bread is buttered. Look how easily she chucked you up because she did not think you good enough. She'll make use of this Lady Kirkbank, who is a good soul, I am told, and will make the best match of the season.
"Why," demanded Laramie, more cool-headed than his friends, drawn-faced and tense about him, cooler far than his maudlin words implied, and still fighting for a forlorn chance, "why didn't Harry Van Horn tell me to turn in with a friend why didn't he tell me to turn in with you, Tom Stone with a man I rode and bunked with? Why did they make you their scapegoat, Tom?
He thought moreover that a cool-headed friend with an eye for something else in the world than religious reform might be useful just then to Elsmere, and he was determined at the same time to see what the reformer meant to be at.
He was a cool-headed Scotsman; he knew that there were some things best not inquired into, and that men must have their bad hours alone.

Armour had discovered Miss Sherwood's letter.
He was anxious to avoid the least suspicion on the girl's part that he might be crediting Jean de Courtois with motives which would not pass muster before a jury of cool-headed men so readily as they seemed to have satisfied an impetuous and frightened girl. "How did your father ascertain that you were in New York?" he said.
There is nothing under those circumstances like the advice of a cool-headed friend." "As valuable as the assistance of a cold-hearted one," thought Egremont, who did not fancy too much the tone of this conversation. "But there is one thing of which you must particularly beware," continued Lord Marney, "there is one thing worse even than getting into difficulties patching them up.
Inevitably, if the project he outlined were carried out, Bob and the beautiful Southern girl would be thrown into close association with each other, and further acquaintance could only deepen the startling influence Beulah Sands had already won over my ordinarily sane and cool-headed comrade.
But now thanks to that article I can understand what I may not condone, and, though abhorring the Kaiser and my mother's compatriots for their share in that horror going on abroad, I can also pity the hot-headed, imperfect mere man going to war under a carefully incited and fostered misapprehension, and need no longer glorify the cool-headed, sapient policy which so cleverly duped ruler and people.
Or, perhaps, he read reports of psychical societies, signed by men with any number of capital letters after their names: cool-headed scientists, university professors, psychologists, grave students all, who were constantly finding new and wonderful mediums, and achieving communication with the disembodied. He could tell them a few things; only, of course, he wouldn't make a fool of himself.
