The Canon's sermon did not maintain this high-strung mood, though why not it would be difficult to say. Like all his, it was eloquent, brilliant even, declaimed by a fine voice of wide compass, whose varying tones he used with the skill of a practised orator.
"If you was really feeling so bad it wouldn't be nice to laugh, you know." Jed laughed then, himself. "So Petunia would feel bad if I didn't go to Sam's, would she?" he inquired. "Yes," solemnly. "She told me she shouldn't eat one single thing if you didn't go. She's a very high-strung child." That settled it.
He went into that in detail; the peculiar effect of fear and mental shock on a high-strung nature, especially where the physical condition was lowered by excess and wrong-living; his early attempts, as the boy improved, to pierce the veil, and then his slow-growing conviction that it were an act of mercy not to do so.

"Don't say that," said Hayden cheerfully. "I may not be any one, but I've been thinking about you. Look!

The Zenians have a strange way of being right about such things; their high-strung, sensitive natures seem capable of responding to those delicate, vagrant forces which even now are only incompletely understood and classified.
Curiously enough, the tall, dignified, deeply religious Sikhs and the little, nervous, high-strung Dyak pagans get on very well together, eating, sleeping and drilling in perfect harmony.
Take care of yourself, and you will soon grow out of all these fancies, and laugh at them as much as I do." And he feigned a smile.
