"But I passed him comin' out an' I lit in to him." "Fist and skull?" said I. "Jaw," said he. "I damned every Carper into fiddlestrings from old Adam to old Columbus." "What did he say?" "He said we was the purtiest bunch of idiots in the kingdom of cowtails." The autumn in the Hills is but the afternoon of summer. The hour of the new guest is not yet.
Wood and iron, wood and iron, but eating it's nothing to them." "Come!" said Paynter kindly, remembering the man's domestic trouble. "Miss Vane will see you have anything you want, I know. And look here, don't brood on all those stories about the Squire. Is there the slightest trace of the trees having anything to do with it? Is there even this extra branch the idiots talked about?"
There was scarcely a house but had its crew of those headstrong idiots who refused to respond when called on, hiding away in corners and shamming death; the German patrols that were sent through the city even discovered them stowed away under beds.
Other classes who are debarred, however, are idiots, imbeciles, epileptics, insane, criminals, assisted immigrants, polygamists, anarchists, prostitutes, and procurers. Only an insignificant number, however, of immigrants are debarred upon these latter grounds.
Thornton's face was fever-flushed, her eyes bright; in her weak state she was on the verge of nervous hysteria. "I want to go, Robert," she cried. "I must go." "But, my dear," protested Thornton harshly, "this is simply the height of absurdity. For Heaven's sake be sensible, Naida. Just imagine what people would say if they saw us here with this outfit of idiots they'd think we'd gone mad."
Anyhow, he did show men their ignorance; and you all know his solemn way of doing it. He drew them on with sly questionings to see what idiots they were; and then drew them on with more sly questionings to perceive at least a few sound ethical truths. He took that humble patient means of saving Athens: by breaking down false opinions and instilling true ones.
Olivier suffered thus in the presence of this singer, who seemed to scatter and to gather love in that opera-house, and he felt vexed with everyone because of the tenor's triumph, with the women whom he saw applauding him from their boxes, with the men, those idiots who were giving a sort of apotheosis to that coxcomb! An artist! They called him a artist, a great artist!
And when we have begun by shutting up a confessedly kind person for cruelty, we may yet come to shutting up Mr. Tom Mann for feeblemindedness. But even if such laws do good to children or idiots, it is wrong to use the word "charter." A charter does not mean a thing that does good to people. It means a thing that grants people more rights and liberties.
I'll soon show you whether I know what I am talking about or not. Has Fritz mentioned that among Madame Fontaine's other virtues, she has paid her debts? I'll tell you how she has paid them as an example, young gentleman, that I am not talking at random. Your admirable widow, sir, is great at fascinating old men; they are always falling in love with her, the idiots!
He told no one outside the house, lest he should be plagued to exhibit it, but he could not help boasting of it to Netta and Anastasia. "That's what comes of having an eye! It's worth a thousand guineas of it's worth a penny. And those stupid idiots let me have it for twenty-two pounds!" "A thousand guineas!"
