Once there, an accused is three-fourths condemned already." For once it looked as if the crimson in M. de Chandore's cheeks was growing pale. "And yet," he exclaimed, "Jacques will not change his system: any one who knows his mulish obstinacy might be quite sure of that."
He seemed to find an odious satisfaction in the fact, a satisfaction which Bompard faintly reflected, and for a moment the girl seemed to glimpse in the two men a lethargy of mind almost unthinkable. A lethargy and laziness, mulish, and kicking at anything that disturbed it, that actually fought against betterment because betterment meant exercise of intellect and action.

Well, I wrastled with that mulish female seven straight days to make her leave that twelve-hour job of hers and come out here with me.
