Then, with a low word to the pin-headed young man, followed by a downward wave of his palm to denote the time, and the child's fingers firm in his own, Felix led her through an old-fashioned, stately minuet, telling her in an undertone just what steps to take. It was Sunday morning before the merry party broke up and streamed out through Kling's lower shop, and so on into the street.
One old rooster was stirring about, pecking at the solid lump of ice in their water-tin. When we flashed the lantern in their eyes, the hens set up a great cackling and flew about clumsily, scattering down-feathers. The mottled, pin-headed guinea-hens, always resentful of captivity, ran screeching out into the tunnel and tried to poke their ugly, painted faces through the snow walls.
In the third place, he would think she was riding over there for a reason which was untrue and very, very unjust. And he wouldn't fire Tex, because Tex was a good "hand" and hands were hard to find. He would simply make her promise to stay at home. "He'd say it was perfectly all right for Tex and perfectly all wrong for me. Dad's tremendously pin-headed where I am concerned.
I had never been under that kind of discipline, and to have a pin-headed gamin order me to clean spittoons was more than I could stomach.

But please to think of Juliet after ten years of Romeo and his pin-headed intelligence and his preordained infidelities. Do you imagine that her predecessor, Rosamond, would have had no successors? Juliet would have been compelled to divorce Romeo, if only for the children's sake. "The children!" cried John Mayrant. "Why, it's for their sake deserted women abstain from divorce!"
But the moment I think of that trio, Cora Bewick sour-bellied old maid! and Idell Friebus, and her rotten little pea-green husband pin-headed insect! flap-eared fool! I get mad. If you could really know, Hat, the cold-heartedness and wicked-mindedness of those people! How they ever happened in Tom's family Goodness only knows. And such a fine father!
Thar's thet Ken Douglas o' yourn," watching slyly out of the corner of her eye the flushing face and compressing lips of her auditor "now 'tain't sca'cely six months since he was sky-hootin' around yeah, wishful o' killin' every blessed cowpuncha in this outfit; an' now they ain't ary one o' the pin-headed dogies that ain't a beggin' to be allowed to do his killin' fer him!
