"I will indeed, sir, and I won't say another word, only thank you for taking it so patiently and, if I might make the observation, in such a lamb-like way." Rodd turned round very quickly, walked to the window, and began to whistle softly. "I went over this morning to my neighbour's, sir, as you may see by the basket."
Agnes, however, was not lamb-like, inasmuch as, according to popular tradition at least, she exerted herself sharply in favour of the expulsion of the English from France.
"Then she couldn't have been the most beautiful princess in the world, because I've seen the lady and her hair is brown." Jack stroked his moustache with a look of lamb-like innocence, and Sylvia could have shaken herself with annoyance because she could not help blushing and looking stupid and self-conscious. Pixie's melodious gurgle sounded from the background, and Viva cried severely
They'll not show up again, either, until you send word for them to come back and then they'll know you've surrendered. Magney tried it once, just once. And that's why you found me chewing tobacco so lamb-like and saying nothing." "Turn your gat loose," Weir said. And turning on his heel, he went back to headquarters.
Fraser, whose manner had already effected the little change rendered necessary by his promotion from mate to master, nodded curtly, and the crew, after another exchange of looks, resumed their work without a word. Their behaviour all day was docile, not to say lamb-like, and it was not until evening that the new skipper found it necessary to enforce his authority.
He does not toss down glasses of stiff brandy and whisky. His beer requires time to produce an effect. The last hour does the mischief. Since the earlier closing the village streets have been comparatively free from drunken men. In any case, the agricultural labourer is the most lamb-like of drunkards. He interferes with no one. He unhinges no gates, smashes no windows, does no injury.
"If he ain't goin' to pitch, I ain't goin' to make him", the Judge would grin, as he swung aboard. The black would trot off quite calmly and in a most matter of fact way, as though to shame all slanderers of his lamb-like character. Then, as the bystanders would turn away, he would utter a squeal, throw down his head, and go at it.
"Free to confess, Squire Walter, that I don't quite like this larned man, as much as the rest of 'em something queer about him can't see to the bottom of him don't think he's quite so meek and lamb-like as he seems: once saw a calm dead pool in foren parts peered down into it by little and little, my eye got used to it saw something dark at the bottom stared and stared by Jupiter a great big alligator! walked off immediately never liked quiet pools since augh, no!"
They may appear quite lamb-like in public life, but in their hearts no change has been wrought by the transforming power of God's grace. To be "Jesus' little lamb" is not only to have a profession of Christianity, but to have the heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus from envy, pride, malice, love of the world, etc., and filled with meekness, gentleness, and love.
The first to a schoolboy who had written to him about Nicholas Nickleby is quite charming; the second, to the famous actor-manager who after being a Londoner by birth and residence for half a century had just retired, is almost Charles Lamb-like; and the third deserved to have been put in the original mouth of Mrs. Gamp!
