"I telled 'im tu du things by the littles," said the woodman, who was kept at work marking trees and saplings as he had never worked before; though John was generous of help, and liberal of pay. "But lard, he bain't one tu covet nobody's gude advice. I was vair terrified tu zee arl he knowed about the drees. The squoire 'ee wur like a babe unbarn beside 'un.
Again, the little you steal each day does not seem much at the time, but if you put all the "littles" together you may soon have something big, and almost before you know it if you intend to continue stealing you may have taken enough to make you guilty of mortal sin.
There was a crush in the ample mansion in Alameda Square, as there always was at Miss Van Brock's "open evenings," and when Kent came down from the cloakroom he had to inch his way by littles through the crowded reception-parlors in the search for the Brentwood party.
"But, John," she would say each time as they returned to the street and resumed their quest, "those things cost; you can't afford them, can you?" "Why, you can't be comfortable without them," he would answer. "But that's not the question, John. We must take cheaper lodgings, mustn't we?" Then John would be silent, and by littles their gayety would rise again.
Indeed, he says himself that he only went to school "by littles," and that all his schooling "did not amount to more than a year." But he had learned to read when he was a mere baby at his mother's knee; and to a boy who loved knowledge as he did, this furnished the key to a broad education. His love of reading amounted to a passion.
They have turned the King a little their way. I knew that, ere I went to find that great new land where are pearls, that slopes upward by littles to the Height of the World and the Earthly Paradise. Turned the King, but not the Queen. But now I make it they have worked upon her. I make it that she does not know the character of Don Francisco de Bobadilla.
He did not choose to tell Coventry how shocked he was at his own daughter's conduct; but, after a considerable pause, he said, "If what you have told me is the exact truth, I shall interpose parental authority, and she shall keep her engagement with you, in spite of all the Littles in the world." "Pray do not be harsh," said Coventry. "No, but I shall be firm."
Warrender was one of the people who love a town and all that seems like a larger life in the collection together of many human lives. Whether it is so or not is another question, or if the massing together of a multitude of littles ever can make a greatness.
"Aye, I see light over the future." By littles the storm fell. Ere dawn we could say, "We shall outlive it!" He slept for an hour then waked. "I was dreaming of the Holy Land but do you know, Juan Lepe, it was seated here in the lands we found!" "Seated here and everywhere," I said. "As soon as we see it so and make it so." "Aye, I know that the sea is holy, and so should be all the land!
The 'tillage of the poor, meaning thereby not the mendicant, but the peasant owner of a little plot, yielded the bulk of the 'food. The wholesome old proverb, 'many littles make a mickle, is as true about the influence brought to bear in the world to arrest evil and to sweeten corruption as it is about anything besides.
