So this vision, like all God's words, fits closely to moments needs, but is also for all time and all men. The call to conquer fear. Fear not. There are so many certain evils, and so many possible evils, that any man who is not a feather-brained fool must sometimes quail. It is waste of breath to say, Don't be afraid, and to do nothing to remove the occasions of fear.
"What an advantage it is to have a novelist to advise one! Many, many thanks for all your kindness. Good-night!" Chris rang off with a certain sense of relief. It was some time later before she had a chance of conveying to Bell what had happened. He listened gravely to all that Chris had to say. "Just the sort of feather-brained idea that would occur to a novelist," he said.
I considered that I was present at a kind of comedy, and not a gesture, not a word, not a laugh did I allow to escape me. "He may be merely a rich and feather-brained young officer," I said to myself, "who treats everything in this farcical manner. He won't be the first of the species I have seen.
Darzee was a feather-brained little fellow who could never hold more than one idea at a time in his head. And just because he knew that Nagaina's children were born in eggs like his own, he didn't think at first that it was fair to kill them. But his wife was a sensible bird, and she knew that cobra's eggs meant young cobras later on.
It proved a momentous night for Martin, for after dinner he met Russ Brissenden. How he chanced to come there, whose friend he was or what acquaintance brought him, Martin did not know. Nor had he the curiosity to inquire about him of Ruth. In short, Brissenden struck Martin as anaemic and feather-brained, and was promptly dismissed from his mind.
There was an inherent antagonism between the nature of this shallow, feather-brained sketcher by the wayside and the natures of men like Rolph, Bidwell and the Baldwins, whose quiet earnestness and fixity of purpose had been intensified by the long course of injustice to which they, in common with their party, had been subjected.
Why he enjoyed so much of this lady's favour it was not easy to understand; intellectual sympathy there could be none between them, and as for personal liking, on his side it did not go beyond that naturally excited by a good-natured, feather-brained, rather pretty woman, whose sprightliness never passed the limits of decorum, and who seemed to have better qualities than found scope in her butterfly existence.
But it was not Bow-may's wont to be silent for long, so presently she said: 'Thou art good so do as I bid thee; but see thou, sweet playmate, for all thou art a chieftain's son, thou wert but feather-brained to ask me why I shot at thee. I shoot at thee! that were a fine tale to tell her this even!
On the other hand, we regard it as our duty as gentlemen to offer you our assistance, and thereby put a stop to what might become a senseless and insulting jest, which if our feather-brained friends had their way might even have a very serious termination." Alexander thanked them for their kindness, and early next morning the two young men appeared again in a hired coach.
By the time George was dressed he had put his position into these words these feather-brained, corky, preposterous words: "By gum!" said George, brushing his hair, "by gum! I'm in a devil of a hole!" The decision summed up a cogitation that showed him to be in a hole indeed, but not in so fearsome a pit as he had at first imagined.
