I got all that was comin' to me out of it, but here's this check. Perhaps you'll sign the receipt. I guess they been puttin' it over you all right. You're a little too soft with 'em." Mr. Gwynne was an even-tempered man, but Mr. Sleighter's patronising manner and his criticism of his business ability wrought in him a rage that he could with difficulty control.
There was a rumor that he was strapped into a steel jacket which he was forced to wear continually, and the mill hands commented on its probable discomfort and wondered how the boy could always keep so even-tempered. For it was unavoidable that the large force of servants from Aldercliffe and Pine Lea should neighbor back and forth with the townsfolk and in this way many a tale of Mr.
But "Thorough" was always Dan's motto; and after all, small particles of coal or a few hairs can always be detected by the careful feeder, and removed. A more even-tempered man than Dan for twenty-three hours out of every twenty-four surely never breathed. It was a revelation to me to discover that for the other he could be uncertain, irritable, even ungrateful.
"I reckon he do," she said, with a sigh. Maria was very even-tempered, quiet, and wise, in her own way. Her sigh went through my heart. I stood thinking what plan I could take. "De Lord is bery good, Miss Daisy," she said, cheerily a moment after; "I and dem dat love Him, dcre can be no sort o'separation, no ways." "Does Mr. Edwards forbid them all to come?" I asked.

The count, her husband, had been one of those quiet, even-tempered men, who have no desire to step beyond the sphere in which they are placed; he had no cares, save those included in the management of his estate, the prosperity of his serfs, and the happiness of those, around him.
She was neither so pretty nor so even-tempered as her sister, but she had twice the character, and was a young person who made her individuality felt in the house; while Maxwell was the beauty of the family, with his mother's crisp, dark locks, grey eyes, and brunette colouring.
"Damn it all! I'm not obliged to go there, am I?" Heneage exclaimed testily. Wrayson looked at him in amazement. Heneage, as a rule, was one of the most deliberate and even-tempered of men. "Of course not," he answered. "You won't mind telling me how the Colonel is, though, will you?" "I believe he is very well," Heneage answered, more calmly. "He doesn't come up to town so often this hot weather.
"If there is any quality for which you are distinguished, it is the even-tempered justice of your mind. You can argue on both sides of a case with equal fluency and force, and that quite independent of your personal predilections." "Just so. But I fear Jane has not the same confidence in my fairness and ability with you, my dear.
"Happiness is life. It cannot die. It has an immortal soul. If ever I make you sad, if I am untender to you, may God strike me" "Hush," she cried, clinging to me, and closing my lips with a kiss for which I would have died; "Hush, love! hush!" It ought to be said, at this point in my story, that I had never been what would be called an even-tempered man. Truth to tell, I was a spoiled boy.
