The lower classes make few comments as they relate a thing; they tell the fact that strikes them, and present it as they felt it. This tale was made as sharply incisive as the blow of an axe. "I shall not go to Batz," said Pauline, when we came to the upper shore of the lake.
"You know you planned this disgraceful affair!" But the lad had darted a glance at his brother, and the keen instinct of childhood had perceived that Donald was not in league with his judges. So he looked up into the minister's face and said with incisive impudence, "It's a lie!" John Egerton might have restrained his rage even then, had he not again caught the gleam of laughter in Donald's eyes.
The under-lying question in education is not, How strong or incisive is his mind? If might is right, then mental strength is to be gained at all hazards. But if right is higher than might, then mental skill and power are only secondary aims. So long as we are dealing with fundamental aims in such a serious business as education, why stop short of that ideal which is manifestly the best?
"Leave it open. It is on that account I am here." "On what account?" the girl asked, in some perplexity. "Jake. There's something up, and hark!" They stood listening. The foreman's voice was raised again. But now Marbolt's broke in, sharp, incisive. And the words were plainly audible. "Keep your voice down," he said. "D'you want the girl to hear everything? You were always a blunderer, Jake."
"No, Madam, I have no more quarrel with my country's present Government than I could have with a child who is led into a ditch by its nurse. It is a weak and corrupted Government; and its actual rulers are vile and abandoned women." The Queen's eyes opened in a beautiful, startled wonderment; this man's clear, incisive manner of speech interested her.
"Señor Loan Fish, do you know?" Pell ventured to get out part of a sentence. "Say, what the ..." But Pedro's active gun came against his ribs, and he paused, as who would not? "She gets it all the wife," Hardy told Lopez. "That is, if the husband hasn't made a will." "'Ave you?" the bandit turned on Pell. "'Ave you made a will?" His tone was incisive. "Do not lie." "No, damn you!"
You know how terribly incisive she is sometimes. Didn't she, rather, do you the honor to say, 'A fiddlestick for your phrases! There are better reasons than that'?" "Other reasons were discussed," said the marquis, without looking at Valentin, but with an audible tremor in his voice; "some of them possibly were better. We are conservative, Mr. Newman, but we are not also bigots.
I listened intently for some seconds without hearing anything, and was about to say so, when I thought I caught a faint sound, as of the creaking of a boom; and at the same instant the two look-out men on the forecastle, forgetting, in the imminence of the danger, their instructions to be silent, simultaneously shouted, in sharp incisive tones: "Hard a-port!
In the portentous silence which followed I was able to repeat my question with more incisive force. "Yes, but, mother, what is a bumptious Malcolm?" "David," said my father sternly, "children should be seen and not heard!" "But, father," I exclaimed, being aroused by this injustice to defend myself, "Professor Blight said that I must be one of those bumptious Malcolms.
In an incisive, icy voice that sent a chill through the big man's frame, he now spoke. "You have been overlong on your journey and we have been waiting for you." Then with a menace in his voice he snarled, "It is well for you that you came at last." The big man shuddered and remained silent. Long Fang crossed to Doctor Q. "The instrument of torture is here," he said.
