"He's the true dog 'at sides wi' the richt; he'll be in bliss afore his maister," said Grizzie, as she descended from the gate, and stood on her own side of the fence. But the laird was welcoming his lordship with the heartiness of one receiving an unexpected favour in the visit. "Weel loupen, my lord!" he said.
At the sight of Will, he endeavoured to smile, and his handshake, though the flabbiest possible, was meant for a cordial response to the young man's heartiness. "I'm on my way to The Haws, Mr. Turnbull, and wanted to ask if you could come up and see us this evening?" "Oh, with pleasure," answered the lawyer, his tone that of one invited to a funeral. "You may count on me."
Tender, just, and loving where others were harsh, vindictive, and cruel, he challenged the respect and admiration of every honest man. A few more such clergymen might drive calumny from the lips of faith and render the pulpit worthy of respect. The heartiness and kindness with which this generous man treated me can never be excelled.
During my stay in Russia at the time of the Crimean War, I had been interested in the Finnish peasants whom I saw serving on the gunboats. There was a sturdiness, heartiness, and loyalty about them which could not fail to elicit good-will; but during this second stay in Russia my sympathies with them were more especially enlisted.
The last, who kept on moving further down in order to be the very last to say good bye, was Niederlein, a smart little gunner, who had polished his accoutrements for him during the last year. The sergeant-major pressed his hand with special heartiness, and breathed freely: Thank God, Niederlein made up for Wolf!
They found this personage a great fat, round, oily man, airing himself under the verandah of his dwelling. Other eunuchs of similar appearance were sitting on the ground with him, and joining him in welcoming both of the travellers, but particularly Richard, to Katunga, with every appearance of sincerity, heartiness, and good-will.
Pink cut the cards very carefully, and did not look up. Rowdy thrust both hands in his pockets and turned his square shoulder to the bar. He did not need to look he knew that voice, with its shoddy heartiness. Men began to observe his attitude, and looked at one another. When one is asked to drink with another, he must comply or decline graciously, if he would not give a direct insult.
The expressman was there, hard at work, a plain man of fifty, with a simple, honest, good-natured face, and a breezy, practical heartiness in his general style. As the train moved off a stranger skipped into the car and set a package of peculiarly mature and capable Limburger cheese on one end of my coffin-box I mean my box of guns.
"You have done well, Dagaeoga," he said. "Did I not say to others in your defense that you had intelligence and, in time, might learn? You have saved my life, a poor thing perhaps, but the only life I have, and I thank you." Robert laughed, and his laugh was full of heartiness. He saw the old Tayoga coming back. "You'll be a new man tomorrow," he said.
The fly pulled up and Lord Linchmere sprang out. "My dear Thomas, how are you?" said he, heartily. But the heartiness was by no means reciprocal. The owner of the grounds glared at me over his brother-in-law's shoulder, and I caught broken scraps of sentences "well-known wishes ... hatred of strangers ... unjustifiable intrusion ... perfectly inexcusable."
