Use it for your musical tomfoolery if you insist, and then get what living you can. Which was severe but dignified, unpaternal yet patrician. But what does my governor do? That cantankerous, pig-headed old Philistine God bless him! he's got no sense of the respect a father owes to his offspring. Not an atom.
"For the love of God!" he groaned, raising both fists to heaven, "has she got this far, and then been killed! Oh, what in Hades did I entrust her to an Indian for? The pig-headed, brave old fool! Why couldn't he ride round them, instead of charging through?" As he groaned aloud, too wretched even to think of what his duty was, a galloper rode up to him.
What is the matter with our going squint squint something or othering one of these days? Will you go? Or are you as pig-headed about that as you are about other things?" I laughed. "Not quite," I said. "I should be glad of your company, Mr. Colton." "Next Saturday suit you?" "Yes. After bank hours." "All right. I'll look after the boat. You provide the bait and tackle. That's fair, isn't it?
You will always have your . . . other love—you pig-headed enthusiast of the sea.” “Then let me go to it,” cried the enthusiast. “Let me go to it.” After this discovery he was fit to face anything. He tells his correspondent that if he had been more romantic he would never have looked at any other woman. But on the contrary. No face worthy of attention escaped him.
She would have questioned then about the walk that led to this discovery. Her prejudices against children's prowling away from their elders after dark were very strong. Aunt Corinne thought the pig-headed man might have come to their carriage when they were ready to start, instead of the Virginian. "Right along the pike?" he inquired cheerfully. "I believe so," said Grandma Padgett.
This boy of Heathcote's, whose services had been offered to him, had not scrupled to tell him to his face that he was to be regarded as an enemy. Much as he liked the company of Kate Daly, he could not go to the house of that stupid, arrogant, pig-headed young squatter. "I'm not such a bad bushman but what I can find my way to the river," he said.
I tried to pursuade old Pecksniff that he ought to let me go with twenty troopers to guard the ranch and scout the Laramie, and he threatened to put me in arrest. Of all the double-dashed, pig-headed old idiots he's the worst. I don't want people at the ranch to be scared, but if the Sioux only would make some demonstration this way that would give me a chance.
'We are fools and worse, and will not take a telling." A smile broke upon her lip now for the first time as she looked at him. "'Pig-headed!" she said. Caius had seen that smile before. It passed instantly, and she sat before him with grave, unruffled demeanour; but all his thoughts and feelings seemed a-whirl.
By way of counsel she advised strongly that the engagement be kept as much in the background as possible. She did not, she said, want Millicent to be a sort of red rag to Sir John, and there was no necessity to publish abroad the lamentable fact that a quarrel had resulted from a very natural and convenient attachment. Sir John was a faddist, and, like the rest of his kind, eminently pig-headed.
"You are the only Englishman I ever met, Monsieur Spencer," he said, "who was not pig-headed. You have the tenacity of your countrymen, but you have the genius to pick out the right thread from the tangle, to know truth when you meet it, even in unlikely places. I doff my hat to you, Monsieur Spencer. If you permit I will send my own physician to you. You will be yourself in a week."
