Mopes is vain of the life he leads, some do say," replied the Landlord, as another concession. "I don't know about putting Mr. Mopes on the treadmill," said the Landlord, shaking his head very seriously. "There ain't a doubt but what he has got landed property." "How far may it be to this said Tom Tiddler's ground?" asked the Traveller. "Put it at five mile," returned the Landlord. "Well!
Only religion could have enabled any people to bear such discipline without degenerating into mopes and cowards; and the Japanese never so degenerated: the traditions that compelled self-denial and obedience, also cultivated courage, and insisted upon cheerfulness. The power of the ruler was unlimited because the power of all the dead supported him.
The opinions of those who resort to Dorjiling in health, differ equally; those of active minds invariably thoroughly enjoy it, while the mere lounger or sportsman mopes. The statistical tables afford conclusive proofs of the value of the climate to Europeans suffering from acute diseases, and they are corroborated by the returns of the medical officer in charge of the station.
She's in a couple of stakes at Gravesend and Sheepshead, and we'll just fit her into the softest spot." "What about Lauzanne?" asked the Trainer, "I'm afraid he's a bad horse." "How is he doing?" "He's stale. He's a bad doer doesn't clean up his oats, an' mopes." "I guess that killing finish with The Dutchman took the life out of him.
He dislikes Allington worse than I do, and mopes all day in his room just as his father did. I wonder if there is any insanity in the family," she said to Grey, who answered, cheerily: "Not a bit of it, mother; and if there is Bessie's advent among us will exorcise the demon. I am going to Boston to-morrow to see father, and shall bring him back with me a different man entirely."
"I don't think," said I, "that Delia has grown more cheerful since her engagement. Brides expectant ought to feel as happy as the day is long." "More cheerful? Oh, dear, no! She isn't the same that she was at all; but mopes about more than half of her time. It's just my opinion spoken between friends that she cares, now, a great deal more for Henry than she does for Ralph." "Do they ever meet?"
Mopes, by suffering everything about him to go to ruin, and by dressing himself in a blanket and skewer, and by steeping himself in soot and grease and other nastiness, had acquired great renown in all that country-side far greater renown than he could ever have won for himself, if his career had been that of any ordinary Christian, or decent Hottentot.
"Anima mia," said the pupil of Machiavelli, disguising in the tenderest words the cruellest intentions, for one of his most cherished Italian proverbs was to the effect that there is no getting on with a mule or a woman unless you coax them, "Anima mia, soul of my being, you have already seen that Violante mopes herself to death here." "She, poor child! Oh, no!"
Sometimes she mopes there all day, only speaking at meals. At others, she takes her dressing-bag and goes away for two or three days just as the fancy takes her. She absolutely declines to have a maid." "You mean that she's just a little well, eccentric," I remarked seriously. "Yes, Doctor," answered the old lady, in a strange voice quite unusual to her, and fixing her eyes upon me.
"The walls of my Lodgings" I says in a casual way for my dear it is of no use going straight at a man who mopes "might have something to tell if they could tell it." The Major neither moved nor said anything but I saw he was attending with his shoulders my dear attending with his shoulders to what I said. In fact I saw that his shoulders were struck by it.
