Nothing passed between them, and for weeks relations were very strained, but before the end Grimond knew that he had been forgiven for his superfluity of loyalty, and Dundee was thankful that, as the shadows settled upon his life blacker and deeper every day, one honest man was his companion, and would remain true when every fair-weather friend and false schemer had fled.
You'll find it out for yourself wan o' these days, Mr. Brandon, and ye'll be dom proud ye're a man and can enjoy your good luck when ye get it. The bad luck's always fallin' behind ye, and ye can always look forward to the good luck. So don't be down-hearted. She'll take you, or me name's not what it ought to be." Booth was inclined to accept this unique discourse as a fair-weather sign.
Fair-weather friends are of no use whatever, except as an indication of the depth of snobbery to which human beings can descend. What is "a visiting connection"? It is not at all calculated to elevate one in social, or even in business life. Success mainly depends upon character, and the general esteem in which a person is held.
The nature of the ground makes this road a good fair-weather one, and as the Russian company has rented it from the Persian concessionnaire, we may expect to hear of considerable improvements, so as to encourage an increase of the Persian waggon traffic which already exists on it.
I've said again and again that he isn't to blame if his young ones did clean house on Sunday. He was away and they knew better." "But we didn't," protested Una. "It was MONDAY we cleaned house. Wasn't it, Faith?" "Of course it was," said Faith, with flashing eyes. "We went to Sunday School in spite of the rain and no one came not even Elder Abraham, for all his talk about fair-weather Christians."
But 'tis hinted at headquarters that you are but a fair-weather royalist at best nay, that for some years back you have been as rebel as the rest in this nesting-place of traitors. As a friend mind you, as a friend I would advise you to find the wherewithal to carry out my Lord's commands. Do you take me, Mr. Stair?"
They are just like the rest of us when the pinch comes. So, with a high and keen sense of what was required by his avowed principles, he will have no guards for the road. There was a man whose religion was at any rate not a fair-weather religion.
An airship has no wires and can at the same time slow down and even shut off its engine, so that it need be no more noisy than a motor-car. Engine failure also is not so serious as in an airplane, for the gas-bag will always keep the ship up until there has been a chance for repairs. Up to the present, too, the airship is less of a fair-weather flier than the airplane.
Haul on the bowline, the 'Phrony is a-rollin', Haul on the bowline! the bowline HAUL! At the "haul!" the Captain's foot would come down with a thump. Almost the first word little Hiram Joash learned was "haul!" He used to shout it and kick his father vigorously in the vest. These were fair-weather songs. Captain Hiram sang them when everything was going smoothly.
None the less did he inspect. The sally-port, mended but imposing; the flag-staff with its fair-weather and storm flags; the frowning iron grating; the sidling white causeway, constantly falling down and as constantly repaired, which led up to the main entrance; the well-preserved old cannon, all showed a strict military rule.
