What do you think, by the bye, of her chance of living by art? She says she'll have to." "By that, or something else, no doubt," Franks replied disinterestedly. "I know her father had nothing to leave, nothing to make an income." "Are her water-colours worth anything?" "Not much, I'm afraid, I can't quite see her living by anything of that sort. She's the amateur, pure and simple.
We had scrupulously refrained from exploiting her in our own interests. No man ever worked so disinterestedly for a country not his own as Lord Cromer for Egypt, and if ever a Nationalist movement could have been killed by kindness, it should have been the Egyptian. Nor were the Egyptian people ungrateful.
One surgeon who lived hard by was strong for a compound fracture of the leg, which was the landlord's opinion also; but two surgeons who lived at a distance, and were only in that neighbourhood by accident, combated this opinion so disinterestedly, that it was decided at last that the patient, though severely cut and bruised, had broken no bones but a lesser rib or so, and might be carefully taken home before night.
Robin's scowl sent him scuttling away a great deal more rigidly than when he came. "Idiot!" muttered the young man, still scowling. There was silence between the two for a few seconds. Then she spoke disinterestedly: "Is it from the Mr. Blithers who has the millions and the daughter who wants to marry a prince?" "Merely a business transaction, Miss Guile," he said absently.
The individual with whom I am conferring, if virtuous, is one of the most disinterestedly virtuous persons in the world." We tore ourselves from each other. Mr. Collins promised, as far as he was able, to have an eye upon my vicissitudes, and to assist me, in every respect that was consistent with a just recollection of consequences.
I bound him thereto by the strongest ties. Nay, so disinterestedly, so truly did I love Madeline, that I would not wed while I thought this danger could burst upon me. I believed that, before my marriage day, Houseman had left the country. It was not so, Fate ordered otherwise.
And the pines that are nature's prophylactic brushes. And the sky. And peace. That sounds like a railway folder, but it's true. I know." They trudged along in silence for a little while. "Got that?" "M-m," replied Fanny, disinterestedly, without looking at him. Heyl's jaw set. You could see the muscles show white for an instant.
And uncles, aunts, and cousins, most disinterestedly exhorted that the obstinate youth be disinherited "Ay, Mr. Floyd, I wish your son was a high-minded man like his father; but there's a difference, Mr. Floyd; I wish he had your true blue yeoman's honour, and the spirit that becomes his father's son: if the lad was mine, I'd cut him off with a shilling, to buy a halter for his drab of a wife.
The ultimate end is the complete emancipation of the individual, and that result depends upon his complete disinterestedness. He must become interested exclusively in the excellence of his work; and he can never become disinterestedly interested in his work as long as heavy responsibilities and high achievements are supposed to be rewarded by increased pay.
But these words sound very bald and unequivocal. I wish I knew what they meant. Would I act on them if I did? There's the rub. It is undoubtedly hard for a man with money to look at the matter disinterestedly. And Jesus said, 'How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
