In the ancient law of Rome the subject of corresponding carefulness was the bestowal of the Universal Succession. One of these rules seems to our eyes a principle dictated by common sense, while the other looks very much like an idle crotchet. Yet that without the second of them the first would never have come into being is as certain as any proposition of the kind can be.
It was easy for him to move Sir Miles's heart, that was ever gentle; that was moved already: but the crotchet in his head was impregnable. The more touchingly he painted poor Susan's unfriended youth, her sweet character, and promising virtues, the more Sir Miles St. John considered himself a martyr to his principles, and the more obstinate in the martyrdom he became.
We were talkin' of reparin' a vessel, not strippin' a woman; what under the sun could have put that 'ere crotchet into your head?" She looked mortified and humbled at the result of her own absurd curiosity, and soon quitted the room.
As for the modern crotchet that men yielded no natural right to government, but were to receive all and return nothing, the governor, in plain language, was not fool enough to believe it.
Then he grew red and laughed an embarrassed laugh. "I didn't mean to tell you, old man. But there the cat's out. That's what took me to Brahmson's that afternoon we met! And I harmonised it myself, mind you, every crotchet. I picked up enough at the Conservatoire for that. You know lots of fellows only do the tune they give out all the other work."
"And now for my motive in reading these letters. Sir Charles may still have a crotchet, an inordinate desire for an heir; but, even if he has, the writer of these letters has nothing to fear from any jury; and, therefore, I am now ready to act. I propose to go down to the asylum to-morrow, and get him out as quickly as I can." Lady Bassett uttered an ejaculation of joy.
But people nowadays call ambition an impracticable crotchet, if it be invested on the losing side. Cato would have saved Rome from the mob and the dictator; but Rome could not be saved, and Cato falls on his own sword.
Thou hast come forth unarm'd; thou hast left thy tire-tete, thy new-invented forceps, thy crotchet, thy squirt, and all thy instruments of salvation and deliverance, behind thee, By Heaven! at this moment they are hanging up in a green bays bag, betwixt thy two pistols, at the bed's head! Ring; call; send Obadiah back upon the coach-horse to bring them with all speed.
Elastic step Disconsolate party Not the season Mend your draught Good ale Crotchet Hammer and tongs Schoolmaster True Eden life Flaming Tinman Twice my size Hard at work My poor wife Grey Moll A Bible Half-and-half What to do Half inclined In no time On one condition Don't stare Like the wind.
Some crotchet or whimsey of her childish mind might account for this strange freak, quite naturally." "I can't see how. But we will do what we can. Good-day, Mr. Fischer, and thank you for your help and interest." Meantime, where was Marjorie? To go back to where we left her, in the railroad train, she had fallen asleep from utter exhaustion of nerve and body. But her nap was of short duration.
