An exacting, arbitrary mind perhaps might evolve a set of resolutions that even the most intolerant would hesitate to violate, but for an easygoing, trouble-dodging brain like my own there is no such thing as tenacity of purpose, unless it be in the direction of an obfuscated tendency to maintain its own pitiful equilibrium.
It is not merely a change in technique but a fundamental difference in outlook on life that is involved. The life of the old Orient, while there was much want and hardship, was an easygoing life, with virtually no thought of such matters as time, efficiency, output, and "turnover."
See p. 299, Montholon's "Captivity of Napoleon," vol. i. See p. 301, vol. i., "Captivity of Napoleon." See pp. 57-62, bust incident. The easygoing Joseph had been careless of the letters, which would have further proved the infamy of the oligarchy. These letters were in many cases applications for territory.
Before the war, the easygoing officials at Westminster were naturally persuaded that all was well or at least as well as could be expected; when someone, for instance, actually had the temerity to suggest the formation of a corps of Army nurses, he was at once laughed out of court.
The police were also said to have beaten a labouring man in order to extort a confession, because there was a rumour that the boys had given the clock to him. The village, usually friendly and easygoing, began to get much exercised over these attentions of the police.
Rape and murder were so common that public justice scarcely troubled itself with these trifling things, if nobody appeared to prosecute the guilty parties. The good Gregory had his reward for his easygoing indulgence; he was spared to rejoice over the Massacre of St. Bartholomew.
"Worry him?" exclaimed Robin sharply; "how do you mean?" "Well," said Bruce, "Parrish was a very easygoing fellow, you know. He worked every one himself included like the devil, of course. But he was hardly ever nervy or grumpy. And so I was a bit surprised to find after I had been with him for a time that every now and then he sort of shrivelled up.
"Several days later the Chinaman, still sore and in a bad humor, swung himself on a car for Sam Yen's, whose laundry was some distance up town. Yen was a quiet, easygoing fellow, and Ah Moy thought it great fun to badger and worry him whenever there was nothing more promising in view.
But the King is exceedingly candid as to his changes of life and mind: he tells us how the horrors of the war with Kalinga affected him, how he was an easygoing layman and then a zealous monk.
Sabatini was neither a young man nor a handsome one, but he was kind-hearted and distinguished; and when he told his young wife that she would have to choose between him and a nunnery, she determined to make the best of what she thought a bad bargain. However, she had no reason to repent of her choice; her husband was rich, affectionate, and easygoing, and gave her everything she wanted.
