This is perhaps a pity, for, like many others, Nasr-oo-din is not so black as he is painted, and, notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, is said, by those who should know, to be one of the kindest-hearted creatures breathing. The government of Persia is that of an absolute monarchy.
Kant had been obliged, therefore, of late, to threaten repeatedly that he would discharge him. I, who knew that Kant, though one of the kindest-hearted men, was also one of the firmest, foresaw that this discharge, once given, would be irrevocable: for the word of Kant was as sacred as other men's oaths.
There is our friend Trombin, for instance, who stands in adoration staring at you and puffing out his round cheeks whenever we meet. 'Oh, he only makes me laugh, Ortensia answered; 'he is so funny, with his little pursed-up mouth and his round eyes! I am sure he must be the kindest-hearted creature in the world. But Don Alberto is quite different. I am a little afraid of him.
Agin he reminded me that it was told to me in confidence, and agin I want to say that it must be kep'. I thanked him for his kindness. He is a perfect gentleman; and he told me jest out of courtesy and politeness, and I know it. And I can be very polite too. And I am naturally one of the kindest-hearted of Jonesvillians.
It was readily promised by M. de Goyon, one of the kindest-hearted men alive, who undertook moreover to apply personally to the Cardinal in the matter. The reply he received from his Eminence was, "What you ask is nothing short of an impossibility. Nevertheless, as the Government of the Holy Father is unable to refuse you anything, we will do it.
If I was asked who is the kindest-hearted woman I know in the world, I think I should say Lady Julia De Guest. I think I should." "Ah! but then they're so fond of you," said the admiring mother. "You saved his lordship's life, under Providence." "That's all bosh, mother. You ask Dr Crofts. He knows them as well as I do."
"I remember my father," says Miss Sedgwick, "one of the kindest-hearted men and most observant of the rights of all beneath him, habitually spoke of the people as 'Jacobins, 'sans-culottes, and 'miscreants. He and this I speak as a type of the Federalist party dreaded every upward step they made, regarding their elevation as a depression, in proportion to their ascension, of the intelligence and virtue of the country."
If you offered Pixie the command of the Channel Fleet, she'd accept without a qualm! If you want the kindest-hearted, most mischievous little ignoramus in the world, Mrs Wallace, it would be waste of time to search any farther, for you have found her already! She will keep your children happy, and never say a word that they wouldn't be the better for hearing, but it won't be the orthodox training!
He laughed as he looked at the beautiful things before him; they would look strange in the gaunt hall of Castle Dare. "Why," said he, "I will tell you a secret, Ogilvie. You know my cousin Janet she is the kindest-hearted of all the women I know and when I was coming away she gave me £2000, just in case I should need it." "£2000!" exclaimed Ogilvie.
Then his temper was imperturbable, and although the most obliging and kindest-hearted creature that ever lived, there was a native dignity about him which prevented his goodnature from being abused. No sense of interest either could ever induce him to act contrary to the dictates of his judgment and his heart.
