You might have found one of those good wives, sir, if you had pleased; I had no objection to it. Jonathan. I thought I had found one in you. Laetitia. You did! I am very much obliged to you for thinking me so poor-spirited a creature; but I hope to convince you to the contrary. What, I suppose you took me for a raw senseless girl, who knew nothing what other married women do! Jonathan.
Aminadab, however, in his frequent visits to the Fleet, persisted in saying that I was a poor-spirited creature, a mere tool in Brough's hands, and had not saved a shilling. Opinions, however, differed; and I believe it was considered by the turnkeys that I was a fellow of exquisite dissimulation, who had put on the appearance of poverty in order more effectually to mislead the public. Messrs.
He died before she did. He was assassinated by a native before they had been married three months. I've always thought it was rather poor-spirited of her to die too; for of course she never cared for him. She must have married him only to pique Kersley. By the way, Major Hunt-Goring met them in his subaltern days. He said everyone fell in love with her.
I exclaimed; "it's quite out of the question. Wander about the garden at midnight indeed! What would people say if they saw us?" "Do you imagine that I allow myself to be influenced by the opinion of poor-spirited fools?" inquired Irene with fine scorn. And then, suddenly changing her tactics, she sobbed and prayed me to grant her this one boon it might be the last thing she would ever ask.

'A judge might, and, any way, Uncle, it's deuced unpleasant for me. He was here abusing me all the afternoon when I never had any idea of putting the hot-headed old idiot into a book. It's too bad it really is! ''Umpage won't law me he's had enough of that. Don't you be afraid, and don't show yourself poor-spirited.
Her spirit failed her, and she held her breath as she looked down, when I merely suggested her getting into the sledge, but what would it be if she were to risk flying into the abyss!

"I'm paid to stop the rustling that has been going on," answered Keller, in the same undertone. "He won't do it again. He has had his scare. It will last him a lifetime." Even while she promised it for him, it was not without contempt for the poor-spirited craven who could be so easily driven from his evil ways. If a man must do wrong, let it be boldly as Buck Weaver did it.
That is why I was resolved to force you, if possible, to wed a Serbian Princess. Your marriage to a woman of our own race would have borne down opposition. And now what will happen? The future is black. Michael is unworthy to be a King; Marulitch, at the best, is a poor-spirited wretch; and after them there is no Delgrado." "Well, I am sorry, too, in a way," said Alec.
