It is a deep-seated feeling of our natures to regard the utterances and mandates of age as wisdom, so there are few among the councillors who do not follow the old man's opinions; yet his policy limps on crutches, like himself. All good projects are swamped under his weak, fainthearted guidance." "That is the very reason my vote is at your disposal," cried the warrior.
"I guess your sprain wasn't as bad as you let on," observed Grandma Padgett. The observation, or a twinge, reminded Mr. Matthews to double himself down and groan again. With painful limps, and Robert Day's assistance, he got the cart before the fireplace. It looked like a narrow, high green box on wheels. The pedler blocked the wheels behind, and propped the handle level.
Josserande heard it, for she paused in her descent and cast an anxious look around; but, seeing no one, she raised her eyes to heaven and clasped her hands over the handle of her axe. The wolf, in the meantime, with fuming nostrils and eyes which looked like burning coals, leaped over the stones of the enclosure and began to run around the circle. "See, see!" said Pol Bihan; "he no longer limps."
Look at her: the woman limps as she walks; and, by sacred Venus, her mouth stretches almost to her diamond ear-rings?"* The same tale may be told of many more deserted mistresses; and fair Athenais de Montespan was to hear it of herself one day. Meantime, while La Valliere's heart is breaking, the model of a finished hero is yawning; as, on such paltry occasions, a finished hero should.

The herd approaches to within a hundred yards of the hill. We lift our rifles and deliver a couple of steadily aimed bullets at the fore-shoulders of the nearest bulls. One gives a wild jump, and limps on with three legs; the other seems at first unhurt; but just as they reach the foot of the mound, they both fall down. The whole host are rushing over them. We rapidly reload.
It is not to be supposed that he would say such things of his picture unless they were allowed by all the world; and he repeats them, on this gentle understanding, till all the world allows them. So Reputation runs in a vicious circle, and Merit limps behind it, mortified and abashed at its own insignificance.
Than his, no smile could be more winning and sweet; no one could carry himself with greater dignity and ease. He limps slightly, which is a great pity, especially as he has such good looks, and so graceful a figure; his lameness, indeed, was entirely the result of an accident, a sad accident, due to teething.
We've got to cross the fells to Wy'bern in the morning." "What are they, Brown?" "Musketeers, three of 'em, and ya sour fellow that limps of a leg; they call him Constable David." "Let them have the horses. It will save trouble to you." Then turning to Sim, Ralph added, "We must be stirring betimes to-morrow, old friend; the daybreak must see us on the road.
"Drive them off, or use a Bean-shooter. Anything. But don't yell at them. It distracts me." It was a Sacred trust. I, and only I, stood between him and his MAGNUM OPUM. I sat down on the steps of our bath-house, and took up my vigel. It was about five o'clock when I heard Jane approaching.
