"Nate fund a trac' o' land a-layin' ter suit his mind what b'longed ter nobody but the State vacant land, ye see an' so he went ter the 'entry-taker, they calls him, an' gits it 'entered, an' the surveyor kem an' medjured it, an' then Nate got a grant fur it, an' now it air his'n. The Gov'nor o' the State hev sot his name ter that thar grant the Gov'nor o' Tennessee!" reiterated Tim pridefully.
"Did it go?" Mrs. Grey's voice held all the unqualified enthusiasm any artiste could desire. "Oh, Magda! It was wonderful! The most wonderful, beautiful dance I've ever seen." "And you know it as well as we do," interpolated Lady Arabella tartly, but smiling pridefully in spite of herself. "Still, of course, she likes to hear us say it." Gillian championed her friend stoutly.
"Yes, he's off, but he'll come back safe." "Oh, I know that! Nothing could hurt him, but I'll miss the skeesicks." He ruminated, then said pridefully: "That boy is what my son would have been if I'd had one. You can't tell me any son of my get and raising would have talked about his reactions when this time come!" Winona winced ever so slightly at this way of putting it, but smiled valiantly.
Something may perhaps be allowed on the score of the early experience because of which he had resolved pridefully, it is true never again to come under the power of a woman; it was unworthy of any man, he said, to place his peace in a hand which could thenceforth wring his whole being with agony.
Just men with Stenson's brains and character; wishing for a hundred instrument makers with Stenson's skills would have been unreasonable, even for wishing. There was only one Henry Stenson, just as there had been only one Antonio Stradivari. Why a man like that worked in a little shop on a frontier planet like Zarathustra.... Then he looked, pridefully, at the globe.
Morning and afternoon Appleboro called, and left tribute of fruit and flowers. "Gad, suh, he behaved like one of Stonewall Jackson's men!" said Major Cartwright, pridefully. "No yellow in him; he's one of us!"
I stated this last pridefully. "All right for that, then," he said. "We'll concede that you get an abundance of exercise. Then there is another thing you should do, and of the two this is by far the more essential you should go on a diet." Right there I turned mentally rebellious. I wanted to reduce my bulk, but I did not want to reduce my provender. I offered counter-arguments in defense.
Levy and Woronick believed, or pridefully affected to believe, that at a remote period a band of Israelites, perhaps one of the lost tribes carried away by the Assyrians, peopled these islands; or settled in Malaysia before the Polynesian exodus from there, and gave them their lore.
She would spend hours concocting expensive desserts, while the vegetables boiled dry and scorched and meat turned to leather, only to bring pridefully to the table some flavorless mixture garnished according to a picture in the cook book, and totally unedible. She would have ambitious cleaning days, too, starting late and leaving off with beds unmade to prepare the evening meal.
He sat answering her endless queries, fears, assenting half-absently to her projections, with the thought of Meta Beggs at the back of his mind. He wanted to be as nice as possible to Lettice. Suddenly she seemed a little removed from him, from the world in general, the world of the emotions and ideas that centered about the school-teacher. Lettice was superior; he recognized it pridefully.
