Bragg, for neither of these political mushrooms could conceive of the dignity and fair-mindedness with which a gentleman could view an affair of this nature. "They passed a set of resolutions, Mr. Effingham;" Aristabulus resumed, with the gravity with which he ever spoke of things of this nature. "A set of resolutions, sir!"
Wedgwood is here dealing with a sound translated to another meaning by an intellectual process of analogy; and no one knows better than he for his book shows everywhere the fair-mindedness of a thorough scholar the extreme difficulty of convincing other minds in such matters.
The national mob had never been so powerful, nor had it ever been so servile, and that was why its passions were those of the coward and not of the brave man; that was why chivalry and generosity and fair-mindedness were execrated, and only hatred and boastfulness and vindictive malice were allowed to live. The rapidity with which the time passed was terrifying.
Wilson stood the test with patience, betraying no resentment to impertinent questions, replying to every query with Chesterfieldian grace and affability, parrying every blow with courtesy and gentleness, gallantly ignoring the unfriendly tone and manifest unfairness of some of the questions, keeping himself strictly to the merits of the discussion, subordinating his personal feelings to the important public business under consideration, until all his interrogators were convinced of his sincerity and fair-mindedness and some were ashamed of their own ungracious bearing.

His chivalrous fair-mindedness was so well known, that litigants many a time had referred their disputes to him for arbitration.
But no case could well be less in point; for, besides that he was a man of such fair-mindedness as is always the raw material of wisdom, he had in his profession a training precisely the opposite of that to which a partisan is subjected.
"I gave it," she owned, "to one of our doctors at home. For a medical congress." "The devil you did!" Raven permitted himself. "Milly, sometimes I think you advanced women O Lord!"
