He will drink the wine of the country, even when sour, without a grimace; pass without grumbling a sleepless night; plod through dust ankle deep, without a murmur; there is but one vulnerable feature in his armor, and with Achilles, it is his heel! And it is literally the heel that, is the sensitive spot.
If you are tempted to trust too much to your brightness, remember the animals who made fun of the inch-worm. If you are dull, remember the inch-worm, take courage, and plod away. You will get there sometime. I want to tell you to-day of one of the bravest deeds ever done by a boy. It happened this way.
I was just a beginning to say to myself, what if I'd mistook the lay of the land, and there they are. I went through 'em last spring was a year ago. It's all right!" The men tried hard to cheer, but it was of no manner of use. All they could do was to plod on and drag their horses after them.
I mention these opinions of my father, lest anyone should misjudge the fact of his talking to me as he did. Our horses made very slow progress. It was almost nowhere possible to trot, and we had to plod on, step by step. This made it more easy to converse. "The country looks dreary, doesn't it, Ranald?" he said. "Just like as if everything was dead, father," I replied.
Hall, they are quite as rarely seen on the rich, rolling lands toward the sunset. Is this state of things inevitable? Farmers have a very general belief that it is. They not only plod on in the old way themselves, but they have no faith in the possible opening-up of any other way. Their sole hope of bettering their condition lies in abandoning it altogether.
You understand he had been above ground all the time, while the fighters were in the trenches, where they had more protection. It was the over-fire that he was obliged to plod through, and you who have never seen a battle do not realize what a fierce thing this over-fire is.
and no life is all that the liver of it meant it to be when he began. We dream of building palaces or temples, and we have to content ourselves if we can put up some little shed in which we may shelter. Philip, who began so conspicuously, and so suddenly ceased to be the special instrument in the hands of the Spirit, kept plod, plod, plodding on, with no bitterness of heart.
"Oh, well, if thee puts it that way, I'll treat her different. I tell thee what it is, Richard, I'm one that sticks to my friends through thick and thin." "Well, you can't do anything so friendly to me as to make everything pleasant for Miss Warren. How is her favorite, Old Plod?" I asked, following him into the barn. "Old Plod be hanged! She hasn't been near him in two weeks." "What!"
Nobody can last long against an office-boy whose eyes shine with quiet, respectful reproof through gold-rimmed spectacles, whose manner is that of a middle-aged saint, and who obviously knows all the Plod and Punctuality books by heart and orders his life by their precepts.
But there is no time for explanations or questions now; we just plod on through the darkness and soon we are out in the sunlight again safe! in God's pure air. Oh, why did man ever want to pollute it and poison his brother with these deadly fumes of hell! As a special favor, the instructor allows us, without a mask, to take one swift look into the fumes as we hold our breath.
