"No; nor would I condemn a high-strung colt to the bone-yard because I couldn't put a bridle on him the first time I tried." "H'm!" Sanford ejaculated. "It's the women who don't have children who always attend 'mothers' meetings. Of course you know just how to handle a son." "If you hadn't thought I had some ideas, I don't suppose I should have had the pleasure of this interview."
Men of the high-strung, nervous, timid, self-conscious, sentimental class are sadly out of place in the law. While they may be abundantly well equipped for success from an intellectual standpoint, physically and emotionally they are utterly unfit for it.
The masquerader was evidently not only a man but a soldier. Dogs, high-strung dogs, do not like to have tricks played on them; least of all by strangers. Bruce seemed to take the nurse-disguise as a personal affront to himself. Then, too, the man was not of his own army.
And as the Misses Cabot and my mother alike regarded healthful laughter, cheery sallies, and childlike gayety as a wise relief for overwrought brains or high-strung sensibilities, our fireside sparkled with brilliant repartees and scintillating mirth. It is pleasantly remembered that, in such by-play, Dr.
The boat shot from the landing like a high-strung horse given his head, out across the unbordered road of silver water, and in a moment, as we raced toward the low white clouds, we turned and saw the cliffs of the coast and the tiny village, a gay little pile of white, green-latticed houses steeped in foliage lying up a crack in the precipice.
Like a high-strung Barbary mare she was of good birth and breeding her nerves tugging in their sheaths, her heart a burnt-out cinder, Hedda saw but one way to escape suicide. She took that route and really it was the most profound and significant act of her life, cowardly as was the motive. She was discontented, shallow, the victim of her false upbringing.
That greeting of Bangs's added the final notes to the minor symphony life was playing for him this morning. As he lay back in the hot water, relaxing his stiff, bruised body, the thought came that possibly he and Rodney were really approaching the final breaking-point. Bangs was not ordinarily a patient chap. He was too impetuous and high-strung for that.
Dillon, rising pale, high-strung, and nervous was a sympathetic sight, and the House was ready to listen to him with the greatest attention. The Old Man was specially interested. Whenever nowadays, when his hearing has become somewhat defective, he wants particularly to hear a speech, he has to change his place; usually, as everybody knows, he sits exactly opposite the box on the Speaker's table.
Again it was possible for Doris to face any fact that might present itself she knew that, by her past course, she had not only secured justice for the children but faith in herself. Her greatest concern now was the menace of Thornton. "Think of Nancy," she mused, "sweet, sensitive, and fine, under such influence! And Joan so high-strung and reckless! It would be a hopeless condition!"
Murray, with his terrific speed, merry smile, and genial personality, has always been a popular figure with the public, and when he began his seemingly hopeless fight, the crowd cheered him wildly. He broke through Church's service and drew even amid a terrific din. Church, always a very high-strung, nervous player, showed that the crowd's partiality was getting on his nerves.
