Bronckhorst bore with a long course of brutal, hard chaff, making light of her weaknesses, her headaches, her small fits of gaiety, her dresses, her queer little attempts to make herself attractive to her husband when she knows that she is not what she has been, and worst of all the love that she spends on her children. That particular sort of heavy-handed jest was specially dear to Bronckhorst.
It was a common thing for him to give his best services free in the cause of the weak against the strong. As an adversary he was decorous and amiable, but thunderous, heavy-handed, derisive if need be, and inexorable. A time came for these weapons to be drawn in defense of Salome Müller. MILLER versus BELMONTI.
We confess a thorough liking for these Leatherstockings of the clergy, true apostolic successors of the heavy-handed fisherman, Peter. Their rough-and-ready gospel is just the thing for men who feel as if they could not get religion, unless from a preacher who can "whip" them as well as thunder doctrine at their ears. We prefer those parts of Mr.
That's where you use your braking-rockets." The Chief tried it. He came to a stop a quarter-mile past Joe. "I'm heavy-handed," said his voice disgustedly. "I'll try to join you," said Joe. He did try. He stopped a little short. The two weird objects drifted almost together. The Chief was upside down with regard to Joe. Presently he was sidewise on. "This takes thinking," said Joe ruefully.
So the way did not seem so long that brought us through the straggling, dim-lighted streets of Grantsville, up to the porch of its single hostelry, where, after some parley, I found a fair chance of supper and bed, and a heavy-handed Orson to help me in racking up Falcon.
What had he in common with his own father hard-working, heavy-handed Amos Burr? No, he was not of them and he had never been. He had turned from the main road into the wood, when a girl on horseback dashed suddenly towards him from the gray perspective. She was riding rapidly, her short skirts flying, her hair blown darkly across her face. A brown-and-white pointer ran at her side.
Anastasia O'Hern was there, to be sure heavy-handed, warm-hearted 'Stashie, who took the new little girl to her loyal spinster heart and wept tears of joy over her safe arrival; but 'Stashie had proved, as Paul predicted from the first time he saw her, incorrigibly rattle-headed and loose-ended.
That is hard to tell for the world is full of unskilled, heavy-handed manipulators. I have seen quite a number of this type who had been brought into this unnecessary state by bungling doctors who were treating them for typhoid fever and its complications.
"You may say 'Lord, but we were determined to get in, and in we have got. John, shut the door. Mother, don't put yourself about." John, being the heavy-faced and heavy-handed man, shut the door. "Where is Mr. Henry Leek?" demanded the other curate.
One of the prime terrors of religion is the thought of the heavy-handed, unintelligent, tiresome men who would make it a monopoly if they could, and bear it triumphantly away from the hands of modest, humble, quiet, and tender-hearted people, chiding them as nebulous optimists. Who are the people in this short life of ours whom one remembers with deep and abiding gratitude?
