You thought out the Squad! That's why you're captain!" This was true. He was the one who could invent entertainment for them, these street lads who had nothing. Out of that nothing he could create what excited them, and give them something to fill empty, useless, often cold or wet or foggy, hours. That made him their captain and their pride. The Rat began to yield, though grudgingly.
"All right," grudgingly assented the physicist, and held the Sirius upright, with her needle-sharp stern buried a few feet deep in the ground. He watched the wreckage jealously while Crowninshield and forty helmeted men issued from the service door in the lower ultra-light compartment and advanced upon the two halves of the enemy vessel.
I met her by accident in town one day. Charlotte was shopping, and Lucy was waiting. She rushed up to me as to a long lost friend. She practically invited me to invite herself and Charlotte to lunch with me she somewhat grudgingly included Charlotte. I was rather taken off my feet for an instant. Charlotte heard, and came up. I wish you could have seen the expression on the face of Mrs.
Sergia's hand on his arm stayed him. He remained open-mouthed, staring at his blunder. But the Frenchman had not perceived it. He accepted the correction with a cordial nod. "Of course infinite patience. And then a thing like that!" he lifted his hand toward it slowly. It was a kind of courteous salute the obeisance due to royalty. Uncle William watched it a little grudgingly.
But Barrett never commanded the adoration of the public as Booth did, because he lacked that power of enchantment which Booth possessed in a supreme degree. His mind was austere, he could win respect but not affection, and, as a result, criticism was more captious, honors came grudgingly or not at all, and the fight for recognition was up-hill all the way.
They lay about the deck growling together in talk. The slightest order was received with a black look, and grudgingly and carelessly obeyed. Even the honest hands must have caught the infection, for there was not one man aboard to mend another. Mutiny, it was plain, hung over us like a thunder-cloud. And it was not only we of the cabin party who perceived the danger.
So long, therefore, as the law that "might makes right" prevails in higher quarters, we are forced to acknowledge, however grudgingly, his "right" to his game; but for all that I should like exceedingly to protect it from him. I could not long keep a bird-lover studying a chipmunk. In a few minutes we started again on our way up the mountain.
Why is it, that, whenever anything is done for women in the way of education, it is called "an experiment," something that is to be long considered, stoutly opposed, grudgingly yielded, and dubiously watched, while, if the same thing is done for men, its desirableness is assumed as a matter of course, and the thing is done?
Rhodes looked upon the High Commissioner as a nuisance unfortunately not to be set aside. What exasperated him, especially in regard to the High Commissioner, was the fact that he knew quite well that Sir Alfred Milner could assume the responsibility for concluding peace when that time arrived. Rhodes always hoped that his personal influence on the English, as well as among the Bond party, would enable him to persuade the leaders of the rebel movement in Cape Colony to lay down their arms and to leave their interests in his hands. Should such a thing have happened, Rhodes thought that such a success as this would efface the bad impression left by the Raid. He grudgingly admitted that that wild adventure had not pleased people, but he always refused to acknowledge that it was the one great and unredeemable mistake of his life. I remember once having quoted to him the old French motto which in the Middle Ages was the creed of every true knight: "Mon âme
He pocketed the three dollars which his employer grudgingly gave him, and set out on his way home. "Wait a minute, Herbert," said Eben. "I'll walk with you." Herbert didn't care much for Eben's company but he was too polite to say so. He waited therefore, till Eben appeared with hat and cane. "I'm sorry to cut you out of your place, Herbert," said the young man. "Thank you," answered Herbert.
