Nay, I do ill to vent my choler on thee: I'll tell thee all. Art wiser than I. What saidst thou at the door? No matter. Well, then, I did offer marriage to that Manon." Gerard was dumfounded. "What? You offered her what?" "Marriage. Is that such a mighty strange thing to offer a wench?" "'Tis a strange thing to offer to a strange girl in passing." "Nay, I am not such a sot as you opine.
You cannot think so vilely of me as to opine that in my old age I should do aught to smirch the fair fame of the one or of the other. To be named a traitor, sir, is to be given a harsh title, and one, I think, that could fit no man less than it fits me or any of these my companions. Will you do me the honour, then, to hear me out, Excellency; and when you have heard me, judge us.
"That's the fust Injin, accordin' to my opine," he muttered to himself, "that ever was a man." Rosalind, all trembling eagerness and anxiety, on coming up to Kent, seemed unable to speak. The hunter noticed her action and forbore speaking, making a motion, as an apology, for silence. For a second the trio remained motionless and undetermined what course to pursue.
Occasionally he could be induced to straighten himself, and holding himself strongly at the hinge with earth-ingrained hands to discourse on polities and religion, and to opine that our policy in China was "neither my eye nor my elber."
Her hearer's brows contracted a little, and the grey eyes snapped; but he was silent. 'Now here's this fancy ball at Moscheloo, said Mrs. Bywank, 'with all sorts of charades that nobody ought to be in. 'What is that? I have not heard of it. 'I opine they have kept it rather close, said the housekeeper, 'the day after to-morrow it comes off; and not a soul let in without a ticket.
"Mind I tells yer only what I thinks not what I knows. It's my private opine, then, that that hunter has took the gal up among them Injins, and they're both living thar. If that be so, you needn't be afeard to go right among 'em, for the only thing yer'll have to look out fur will be the same old hunter himself." This remark made a deep impression upon Teddy.
Those present asked no better reason; as soon as the question of creed was raised the conversation, as usual in these convivial evenings, became a squabble over dogmatic differences; in the course of it a legal official ventured to opine that if the case had been that of a less personage than a son of the Mukaukas for whom it was, of course, out of the question of a mere Jacobite citizen and his Melchite sweetheart, for instance, some compromise might have been effected.
We opine, easily enough, that great deeds are done in forgetfulness of self. But why should we forget ourselves in doing great deeds? Why not as well feel in every act its reverberation on the self, the renewed assurance that it is I who can? Why not, in each aesthetic thrill, awake anew to the consciousness of myself as ruler in a realm of beauty?
Now a wahi tapu was so sacred that no one but a tohunga dared to approach its boundaries, even under pain of death and damnation; so that such a place was always in some very out-of-the-way locality, certainly never near a spot so much frequented as this would be. "It's tapu enough now, though, and has been ever since the battle, which, I opine, must have been fought somewhere about 1825.
There is, however, no one but ourselves in this room, as you may clearly see. As to the matter of the priest's discourse, we opine that it is already known to you. It is of that matter that we now seek to know your minds." The words were not ungracefully uttered; but Hopton found no immediate answer. He only knit his narrow brow and held his peace.
