'I don't want nothin' in my life but my work, says she to me, herself. That's all very well for now but let her wait a few years an' she'll sing a different tune or I miss my guess. She ain't enchanted, Mary Rose, she's just pig-headed an' young." Mary Rose was disappointed. "Mr. Jerry said she was under the spell of the wicked witch, Independence," she insisted.
But he was old-fashioned, perhaps pig-headed; and the club for the time lost the honour of entertaining Mr Melmotte. It may be remembered that Mr Longestaffe had been anxious to become one of the directors of the Mexican Railway, and that he was rather snubbed than encouraged when he expressed his wish to Mr Melmotte.
Treacher's husband after thirty-odd years of married life. The Commandant, too, knew something of Mrs. Treacher ... an obstinate woman, not to say pig-headed.
'A tr ? You pig-headed young marplots! I'm in British service! You're wrecking the work of years and on the very threshold of success. For an instant Davies and I looked at one another in stupefaction. He lied I could swear he lied; but how make sure? 'Why did you try to wreck Davies? said I, mechanically. 'Pshaw! They made me clear him out. I knew he was safe, and safe he is.
Roughsedge, soothingly. The Vicar shook his head. "She is a young lady of strong will." And with a hasty nod of farewell to the Captain, whose hostility he divined, he walked away. "And what about obstinate and pig-headed parsons!" said Roughsedge, hotly, addressing his remark, however, safely to the Vicar's back, and to his mother. "Who makes him a judge of what we shall read!
But I'm quite certain, Ned, that that pig-headed old Simon with his cod-fish eyes and his everlasting grunt is at the bottom of it all!" He stared thoughtfully into space. "Well," he said slowly, "he has certainly been asking for trouble in one or two ways, and this seems another invitation. But he'll get it, sure! At the same time what's his object?" His sister had no hesitation.
"Whyn't you make Johnson give you a mount once in a while?" "He says I ain't smart enough," was the sulky reply. Little Mose laughed. "He jus' pig-headed, thass all ail him! You like to git a reg'luh job ridin' faw a good man?" "Would I!" "Well, I knows a man whut wants a good boy. See that tree yondeh? That big one? Le's see who kin get there first!" "It it's pretty far, ain't it?" "Shucks!
"Doesn't anything ever happen in the Mate's watch?" "Yes," I answered. "There's several things happened lately, that seem pretty queer. Some of his side have been talking about them. But he's too jolly pig-headed to see anything. He just curses his chaps, and puts it all down to them." "Still," he persisted, "things seem to happen more in our watch than in his I mean, bigger things.
The banquet fell through, and, as I saw later, the society began from that time forward to regret my appointment, realising that they had an entirely intractable and pig-headed person to deal with.
She was thinking just what Parks had thought, that Nannie had none of her blood in her. "Afraid!" said Sarah Maitland. Well, Blair had never been afraid, she would say that for him; he was a fool, and pig-headed, and a loafer; but he wasn't a coward. He had even thought it fine, that scene of power, where civilization made itself before his very eyes!
