So they made it out that this good man should be a propitiation for the "sins of the race." Silly; improbable; unlawful; incredible; impossible. The more useless and undeveloped people were, the more they believed that the sacrifice of a very God to their egotistical minds was not too much for the salvation of their infinitesimal, pinhead souls.
She was much better, though she had suffered much. She had taken only a pinhead of the poison, but it had proved very nearly fatal. "Had Miss Lytton any enemies whom you think of, people who were jealous of her professionally or personally?" asked Craig. "I should not even have said Dr. Dixon was an enemy," she replied evasively. "But this Mr. Thurston," put in Kennedy quickly.
I went to the door with fire in my eye and the long-handled preserving spoon in my hand, ready to call down destruction on the pinhead who'd dare to wake my kiddies. My visitor, I saw, was Lady Alicia; and I beheld my broken wash-tub under the front axle of her motor-car. I went out to her, with indignation still in my eye, but she paid no attention to either that or the tub itself.
"They call her the 'Sheep Queen, but we Old Timers know her as 'Mormon Joe's Kate. She shipped a while back, and just come home all dolled up. Made a little money, no doubt, but any pinhead could do that, the way prices are. She'll never get 'in, though." "'In' where?" "In society. For a little burg," with pride, "you'd be surprised to know how exclusive they are here."

The merchant Neupeter asked if it were not an accursed business and a foolish joke on the part of a sensible man, and he refused to lend himself to it; but the thought that a house might swim into his purse on a tear caused him a peculiar irritation of the glands, which made him look like a sick lark to whom a clyster is being applied with an oiled pinhead the house being the head.
What kind of a system is it that taxes the poor man's family dog, the friend of his children, a dollar, and lets the rich man's wild lands off with two mills on a valuation screwed down to pinhead size?" Applause that indicated that the bystanders owned dogs! "If you're hunting for something to tax, pick out bachelors instead of dogs. Dogs can't earn money. Bachelors can.
In fact, in his boyhood, before he had been named Beauty by his fellows, he had been called "Pinhead." Backward, from the apex, his head slanted down to his neck and forward it slanted uncompromisingly to meet a low and remarkably wide forehead. Beginning here, as though regretting her parsimony, Nature had spread his features with a lavish hand.
After an exceedingly pleasant day we returned home, and next morning, when I got out of bed, I complained of a violent itching and pain, a sort of nondescript sensation, a mixture of pain and pleasure in my starboard great toe, and on reconnoitring, I discovered it to be a good deal inflamed on the ball, round a blue spot about the size of a pinhead.
