Emerson, he got the caution, long remembered, "When you strike at a King, you must kill him." He himself knew well with what kings of thought to measure his own intelligence. What was grandest, loftiest, purest, in human character chiefly interested him. He rarely meddles with what is petty or ignoble. Like his "Humble Bee," the "yellow-breeched philosopher," whom he speaks of as
So with no more thanks for his interference than a man usually gets who meddles in domestic strifes, the present luckless advocate ceased pleading. To be sure, the Colonel and Clive had other advisers, who did not take the peaceful side. George Warrington was one of these; he was for war a l'outrance with Barnes Newcome; for keeping no terms with such a villain.
"The Marquis of Esmond! the Marquis of Esmond," says the Prince, tossing off a glass, "meddles too much with my affairs, and presumes on the service he hath done me. If you want to carry your suit with Beatrix, my lord, by blocking her up in gaol, let me tell you that is not the way to win a woman." "I was not aware, sir, that I had spoken of my suit to Madam Beatrix to your Royal Highness."
"Without making a commotion outside?" "We have often eighty soldiers here, on Sundays." "And no crowd before the house no spying by the neighbors?" "Mon Dieu! no! our nearest neighbors are a worthy bourgeois, who meddles with no one, and a lady who lives so retired, that although she has been here for three weeks, I have not seen her." "That will do excellently." "So much the better."
Whereupon her father was wroth with her and said to her, "Fool that thou art, dost thou not know that the ignorant man who meddles in affairs falls into grievous peril, and that he who looks not to the issue of his actions finds no friend in time of evil fortune?
Many words do not satisfy the soul; but a good life cools down the mind, and a good conscience affords great confidence towards God. We might have great peace if we did not occupy ourselves with the words and deeds which are no concern of ours. How can he remain long in peace who meddles with cares which are foreign to him, who seeks opportunities without, and recollects himself little or rarely?
His prognostication that she would by her interference and demands for "jobs" make life hideous for Lord and Lady Bute proved to be unfounded, and he had the grace to say, "She is much more discreet than I expected, and meddles with nothing"; but he could not refrain from saying that "she is woefully tedious in her narrations."
I asked Mrs. Cooke. "Do you mean the house or the park?" she laughed; and then, seeing my embarrassment, she went on: "Oh, the house is just like everything else Fenelon meddles with. Outside it's a mixture of all the styles, and inside a hash of all the nationalities from Siamese to Spanish.
But we'll go inside and see about the crazy man, and also how the machinery is. I want to fix the motors so that if any one meddles with them no damage will be done." It took some little time to adjust the machinery, and then the travelers took from their supplies some personal belongings, which they wished to have with them. "Now to see to that crazy machinist," said Mr.
And then, what does it signify whether I am alone, or accompanied? nobody meddles with me." "Taisez-vous, et asseyez-vous la la!" setting down a chair with emphasis in a particularly dull corner, before a series of most specially dreary "cadres." "Mais, Monsieur?"
