He will be a poor-spirited horse that does not resent it. Now take off the blinders and let him pitch till he is tired. Then comes the mounting. He is blinded again, again seized by the ear, the cinch pulled very tight, and the rider mounts into the saddle. It may be best first to lead him outside the corral, so that he can run right off with his man if he wants to.
I had decided to go abroad and do Red Cross work, and was about to accept a position that had been offered me when your letter arrived. But you write that you are alone in the world and not very well, and this being the case, I feel my place is with you. You are my only relative, and I should be a very poor-spirited Webster indeed did I not acknowledge that your claim comes before any other.
For one thing it never occurred to her that so poor-spirited a man could be of any use at the game, and for another Ramsden was always busy tooling round with little Wilberforce. Yet it was with Ramsden that she was paired in the first competition for which she entered, the annual mixed foursomes.
Strangely enough, it gave the biggest boy the impression that Jan was "poor-spirited," and unable to take his own part, a temptation to bully him too strong to be resisted. So when the school broke up, and the children were scattering over the road and water-meads, the wide-mouthed boy came up to Jan and snatched his slate from him. "Give Jan his slate!" cried Jan, indignantly.
During the winter there was a trifle of friction over cooking, the work of the Signal Office, and the use and abuse of motor-cycles. It would have been a poor-spirited company if there had been none. But the friction was transitory, and left no acid feeling.
They say this African is kind to his friends, and then, too, he sent home my son without ransom when the young man was prisoner in the north some battle by some lake that I forget the name of " "Such talk is well enough for the poor-spirited rabble," cried Marcia, impetuously; "but was there none of noble blood in the city? None who could compel duty?"
"Is he?" said Caesar, looking down at her kindly. "What Roxana's soul affirms by those rosy lips I can not but believe." Then again he paused, studying Alexander with a searching eye, and added: "You think me strong; but you will change that opinion which I value if I forgive you like a poor-spirited girl. You are in my power. You risked your life.
The sound of the guns at Teroi encouraged the Egyptians and revealed the direction of their friends. With the daylight the Dervishes, who seem throughout the affair to have been poor-spirited fellows, drew off, and the detachment, remounting, made haste to rejoin the main body. The force, again united, pursued their way to Khor Wintri, where they found the column from Tokar already arrived.
Enough however of Hispaniola; let us now consider the neighbouring islands. Owing to its length, Cuba was for a long time considered to be a continent, but it has been discovered to be an island. It is not astonishing that the islanders assured the Spaniards who explored it that the land had no end, for the Cubans are poor-spirited people, satisfied with little and never leaving their territory.
But I have no fear for my King. I am not shaking with apprehension at the turn affairs are taking, like that poor-spirited little Madame de Montmorin, whose husband knows no more about foreign affairs than does my coachman, but I wish with all my heart, Monsieur, that you had kept your revolution chez vous!
