'Besides fiddle! nonsense! exclaimed Tuckham in the mildest interjections he could summon for a vent in society to his offended common sense; 'the better your men the worse your mark. You're not dealing with an intelligent people. 'There's the old charge against the people. 'But they're not. You can madden, you can't elevate them by writing and writing. Defend us from the uneducated English!
I have often felt proud that of all the famous men I have mentioned in this connection there was only one not a Unitarian, and that was Whittier, the Quaker poet of abolition; and his theology was of the mildest. Another notable man with whom I had three hours' talk was Charles Dudley Warner, the humorous writer.
This was the recurring succession of events in the sick chamber for the first ten days of Eveline's illness; then there was a change; the violent symptoms of disease were reduced, and a state of dreamy languor succeeded, with rare intervals of excitement, and those of the mildest type; but consciousness did not return, and the father had the satisfaction of knowing that the secrets of the place were his own.
I think they were not so much ended as distracted by the distant thudding of the guns that were opening fire at long range upon Namur. Section 7 But as yet Barnet had seen no more than the mildest beginnings of modern warfare. So far he had taken part only in a little shooting.
They are an orderly community, subject to recognised law, and we might take them for the mildest and most amusing of all birds; but wait, and we shall see something fit to make us think. Far off on the clear gray sky appears a wavering speck which rises and falls and sways from side to side in an extraordinary way.
But it must be admitted that Blackie himself looked rather bored, and might have gone off for breakfast any time, if he had dared. As a matter of fact, however, the bird did not stand upon the Register of Bad Deeds as being a terror of even the mildest kind of blackbirds. Red-backed shrike was her name, female was her sex, and from Africa had she come.
There could not be a more dangerous delusion than the all-too-common one that all that is necessary for the cure of consumption is to turn the victim loose among the elements, even in the mildest and most favorable of climates.
Parnell, if he did not arouse the worst passions of the worst people in his constituency, he was promptly dismissed. To do them justice, the Irish members gave such an exhibition of blackguardism as has no parallel on earth, though it earned but the mildest rebuke from their obsequious ally, Mr. Gladstone.
"The more she slept," the doctor said, "the sooner she would get well enough to move to London for further advice;" so I had not even her to talk to there was no hunting the frost got harder and harder that obstinate weather-cock over the stables kept veering from north to north-east the grooms went to exercise wrapped up in greatcoats and shawl handkerchiefs, and stayed out as short a time as was compatible with the mildest stable discipline; there would be no change of the moon for a week, and it was obvious that I should have but little use for Brilliant and White Stockings before our return to town.
Since, after all, the Pontifical State is that in which the most daring crimes and the most open assassinations have the greatest chance of being committed with perfect impunity, I will admit, with M. de Brosses and M. de Tournon, that it is the mildest in Europe. I am about to examine with you the application of this mildness to political matters.
