'Suppose, just for a change as a startling variety, you know we, that is to say we, get our charcoal and our canvas and go on with our work. Torpenhow spoke pointedly, but Dick only wriggled his toes inside the soft leather moccasins. 'What a one-ideaed clucker that is!
There was absolutely no proof against him, except that he was in the street below. Besides, he seemed quite lacking mentally." "Mightn't that have been a sham?" "Alienists, of good standing examined him. They reported him just a shade better than half-witted. He was like a one-ideaed child, his whole being comprised in his ability, and ambition to play his B-flat trombone."
The young stranger must be either deceiving him or an exception to his countrymen! And if he was that exception what then? An idea which had sprung up in Father Esteban's fancy that morning now took possession of it with the tenacity of a growth on fertile virgin soil. The good Father had been devoted to the conversion of the heathen with the fervor of a one-ideaed man.
And it was this savage, with an Indian's memory, and an Indian's eye and ear, that suddenly confronted the blacksmith. What more! A single shot from a trained hand and one-ideaed intellect settled the blacksmith's business, and temporarily ended this Iliad! I say temporarily, for Mr.
It is all nonsense to attempt to introduce those one-ideaed notions into put them in practice." "Yes," said Mrs. Munger, with deep conviction, "that is my own feeling, Mr. Gerrish, and I'm glad to have it corroborated by your experience.

"It matters more that my son should not be damned," she answered him, and with that answer left him weapon-less, for against the armour of a crassness so dense and one-ideaed there are no weapons that can prevail. "Listen," she said, and her eyes, raised for a moment, comprehended both of us in their glance.
To select the best horse of the remaining unscathed three, to break open the boot and place the treasure on his back, and to abandon and leave the senseless Bill lying there, was the unhesitating work of a moment. Great heroes and great lovers are invariably one-ideaed men, and Jeff was at that moment both. Eighty thousand dollars in gold-dust and Jeff's weight was a handicap.
This conservatism was allied with a certain fatalism, hopelessness, and moral indolence in Hawthorne's nature. Hollingsworth, in "The Blithedale Romance," is his picture of the one-ideaed reformer, sacrificing all to his hobby. Hollingsworth's hobby is prison reform, and characteristically Hawthorne gives us no details of his plan.
Fursey, I would steal out with my supper and join him on the banks. There, hidden behind the osiers, we would play at banquets, he, it is true, doing most of the banqueting, and I the make-believe. But it was a good game; added to which it was the only game I could ever get him to play, though I tried. He was a one-ideaed rat. Later I came into the possession of a white specimen all my own.
