Will he demean himself and work hard at so miserable a calling and yet be unwilling to do some light work, with which he can earn an honest living? I for one cannot believe it, till I see it. When Sir E. Noel Walker was visiting our Prisoners' Home in Colombo he was astonished at the alacrity with which the men obeyed orders, and the eagerness with which they worked at their allotted tasks.
After mature deliberation, he resolved to demean himself with the utmost circumspection, well knowing that every violent transport would be interpreted into an undeniable symptom of insanity.
"Please, sir, I didn't mean the young gentlemen, I meant Dick Magglin." "Eh, what?" cried the General. "Please, Sir Orkus, if I've ordered him away once, I've done it fifty times, and father's threatened him and beat him, but he would come." "What! did he want to marry you?" "Yes, Sir Orkus, but I wouldn't demean myself to listen to him." "Of course not! a poaching vagabond. Go on, go on."
'Monsieur, he said, earnestly, 'a Fougereuse should not demean himself by begging, and with that he gave me a draft for eighty thousand francs! What are eighty thousand francs for a man in my position? A drop of water on a hot stove." Simon nodded. "But the vicomte," he observed; "his majesty showers favors upon him " "I am much obliged for the favors!
With his heart like a stone in his bosom, he reached the house, a home to him no more! and by effort supreme in which, to be honest, for Richard was not yet a hero, he was aided by the consciousness of doing a thing of praise managed to demean himself rather better than of late.
In all these wars did my Cid demean himself after his wonted manner; and because of the great feats which he performed the King loved him well, and made him his Alferez; so that in the whole army he was second only to the King. And because when the host was in the field it was his office to chuse the place for encampment, therefore was my Cid called the Campeador.
In the first place, it would demean her to be so placed; and in the second, we could never be sure that the report of her residence there might not reach the ears of Sir Rudolph. As a last resource, of course, such a step would be justifiable, but not until at least overt outrages have been attempted. Now I will call Lady Margaret in."
Cuthbert had certainly got his malicious wish; he had succeeded in making Mrs. Fane-Smith miserable, in making his hostess furious, in putting his little neighbor into the most uncomfortable of positions. Of course he was not going to demean himself by talking to "that atheist's daughter."
"A man who can't mend a hole in his own donkey can never demean himself by patching up my great kettle." "Lord, sir!" said the tinker, archly, "if I had known that poor Neddy had had two sitch friends in court, I'd have seen he vas a gintleman, and treated him as sitch." "Corpo di Bacco!" quoth the doctor, "though that jest's not new, I think the tinker comes very well out of it."
Hence, the criminal, when standing at the bar and hearing the sentence of the judge, can understand exactly what lawfully and justly awaits him, provided that he demean himself uprightly in his new condition. Suppose the sentence, in a given case, is this: "You are to be confined at hard labor in our State Prison for five years."
