The breath of his words, of the very words he spoke, fanned the spark of divine folly in his breast, the spark that made him the hard-headed, heavy-handed adventurer stand out from the crowd, from the sordid, from the joyous, unscrupulous, and noisy crowd of men that were so much like himself. Willems said hurriedly: "It wasn't me. The evil was not in me, Captain Lingard."
The book was written with all the heavy-handed brutality he was accustomed to use, but it did no hurt to Cardan's reputation, and, irritable as he was by nature, it failed to provoke him to make an immediate rejoinder, a delay which was the cause of one of the most diverting incidents in the whole range of literary warfare.
We are too much afraid of letting ourselves go and of giving ourselves away. We are heavy-handed and heavy-minded. 'If we can't produce the monuments, we can produce the men who deserve them, said Maude, and Frank wrote the aphorism down upon his shirt-cuff. 'We are too severe both in sculpture and architecture, said he.
Marston had said several times, 'I'm almost afraid Hazel is a great one for wasting her time. But what is waste of time? Oh, filthy, heavy-handed, blear-eyed world, when will you wash and be clean? Hazel came to a place where the white water crossed the road in a glittering shallow ford.
"Look at that, look at that, Belle. That's right, he stopped to change his feet. He's a jockey all right. He ought not to do that tap-tapping with the quirt the horse doesn't understand it, it worries him. I don't like to see a man knee-pinch a horse in that way; it tells on a two-mile run. He's heavy-handed on the reins; some horses need it, but not that one," and so on without pause.
Women, however tactful elsewhere, are heavy-handed here. They cannot see why we should shroud our incomes and our prospects in a veil. "How much exactly have you, and how much do you expect to have next June?"
Chatterton cried out irritably: "Have you never taken care of a sick person, pray tell, or is it all your back-country training that makes you so heavy-handed?" "I helped mother take care of Phronsie when she had the measles, and Ben and Joel," said Polly, "five years ago; we haven't been sick lately." "Humph!" ejaculated Mrs. Chatterton, not very elegantly.
Now you set in to bawl and I'll give ye somethin' to bawl for hear me?" The old man was skilful with hurts, but he was using such unnecessary roughness in this case as set the plucky little chap to sobbing, and, just as Johnnie entered the room, got him heavy-handed punishment for it. It was an unfortunate time to bring up the question of Deanie; yet it must be settled at once.
It has been caused by a twist, possibly while being handled by some clumsy or heavy-handed repairer of olden times, and hastily filled with polluted glue, pressed together and left to itself. It is not at right angles with the plane of the instrument, but at a very acute one, very little evidence of it, possibly none, being seen from the inside.
A heavy-handed attendant should never be allowed to manipulate swellings in the right iliac fossa, nor in any other suspected region, for fear of destroying nature's defenses, and possibly rupturing an abscess, the contents of which will be emptied into the peritoneal cavity, causing peritonitis and death.
