In other respects, the new family were noted for kindliness and urbanity. Mrs Stuart, especially, became an intimate friend of the missionary who dwelt there, and one of his hardest-working parishioners. Mr Stuart also became his friend; but the stern gravity of countenance, and reserved, though perfectly well-bred and even kindly manner of the stranger forbade close intimacy.
Rosario joined the neighbors on the beach and began to dirty her hands on the slimy fish baskets. Falling from her high estate as heiress and lady she became a fish-woman, one of the poorest and hardest-working followers of that soul-killing trade.
Flower, who, on her own peculiar merits, deserves them. Perhaps to introduce Eliza Flower in this way is to take her more seriously than any of her affectionate acquaintance were able to do. For, somehow, people had a bad habit of laughing at Mrs. Flower, though they admitted she was the hardest-working, best-hearted little housewife in the world.
"All right; this is the man. Haskins, this is Mr. Butler no relation to Ben the hardest-working man in Cedar County." On the way home Haskins said: "I ain't much better off. I'd like that farm; it's a good farm, but it's all run down, an' so 'm I. I could make a good farm of it if I had half a show. But I can't stock it n'r seed it." "Waal, now, don't you worry," roared Council in his ear.
Last of all, it is not to be denied that in what I have been saying, I do not represent the public sentiment. The nation is not at all conscious of being overdone. The people see that their House of Commons is the hardest-working legislative assembly in the world: and, this being so, they assume it is all right.
I've brought you down here because you have the faculty of making men think they hate you then going out and working their heads off for you, because well, to be frank, you're the biggest, blunderingest, hardest-working blusterer that I ever saw and you're the only man who can pull me through. This road's in rotten shape, especially as concerns the roadbed.
Of course, I've been on a farm but not to live there." "Writers and orators have lied so long about 'the idyllic' in farm life, and said so much about the 'independent American farmer, that he himself has remained blind to the fact that he's one of the hardest-working and poorest-paid men in America. See the houses they live in, hovels."
Mallett there will agree with me and Mr. Coppinger too." "Absolutely!" said Mallett. "Unreservedly!" said Coppinger. "Your cousin, sir, our late lamented Mayor, was much respected in the town," continued Crood. "He was the hardest-working Mayor we've had for many years, Mr. Brent." "A first-rate man of business!" observed Mallett. "A particularly clever hand at figures!" remarked Coppinger.
Those particular ants may be all that the naturalist paints them, but I am persuaded that the average ant is a sham. I admit his industry, of course; he is the hardest-working creature in the world when anybody is looking but his leather-headedness is the point I make against him. He goes out foraging, he makes a capture, and then what does he do? Go home? No he goes anywhere but home.
Rudd, who had for a "rag" insisted on speaking for the opposition, discoursed on the value of "mens sana in corpore sano." Everyone shrieked with laughter. He finished up thus: "Well, look at me. I am the hardest-working fellow in the school." A roar of laughter went up. Rudd had nearly been deprived of his position of school prefect for doing so little work. "I am also a fine athlete.
