Here was a literary flavor that gave added attraction to a man who sat at the feet of the Scottish muses. The landlord sighed as he went back to the doorway, and he stood there listening to the clatter of the cart and rough-shod horse and to the mournful howling of the little dog, until the sounds died away in Forest Road. Mr.
It is a dangerous thing to play with fire, so it is said; it is a more dangerous thing to walk rough-shod over Oriental customs. A man ere this has lost his life by carrying his shoe-leather across the threshold of a mosque, and this sort of thing William Sowerby knew, and of his knowledge he heeded.
On he came this big man of the North; this man who trampled rough-shod the conventions, even the laws of men. The man who could fight, and kill, and maim, in defence of his principles. Whose hand was heavy upon the evil-doer. A man whose finer sensibilities, despite their rough environment, could rise to a complete mastery of him. Inherently a fighting man.
James A. Garfield of Ohio led the opposition to such rough-shod action and Conkling angrily withdrew his resolution amid hisses. When Garfield reported from the Committee on Rules in regard to the regulations under which the convention should deliberate, he moved that the unit rule be not adopted and the convention upheld him.
"Surely fifteen hundred. Not a sabre less." "All horsed and armed?" "Surely, bahadur. Of what use would be a rabble? I was speaking in terms of men able to fight, as one soldier to another." "Will you raise those men?" "Of a truth, I must, sahib!" Alwa laughed. "Jaimihr's thousands will be in no mind to lie leaderless and let Howrah ride rough-shod over them! They know his charity of old!
"I don't know. I haven't made any arrangements yet." "Well, we'll go make them now." But she did not move. "I'm not going in till I know how this comes out." He was a man used to having his own brutal way, one strong by nature, with strength increased by the money upon which he rode rough-shod to success. He laughed as he caught hold of the rein. "That's ridiculous!"
For this it will sell its corrupted soul, and then be very indignant because the railway before which it has grovelled rides rough-shod over the place.
It vexed and perplexed him, and day after day he determined to whistle it down, ride over it rough-shod, and be as free as he chose with this apparently soft, unresistant, airy being, who seemed so accessible. Why shouldn't he kiss her when he chose, and sit with his arm around her waist, and draw her familiarly upon his knee, this little child-woman, who was as a sister to him? Why, to be sure?
They almost throw stones at me and ride rough-shod over me. And even my nearest kith and kin do nothing but try to get the better of me. It's high time the devil fetched an old fool like me. . . ." "There's no talking to you like a rational being!" said Yulia. She got up from the table impulsively, and went to her room in great wrath, remembering how often her father had been unjust to her.
"Wasn't it to repel the invasion of McCulloch, who was coming from Arkansas with eight hundred bandits he called Texan Rangers? Has he any right to ride rough-shod through our State, when some of our own citizens are not permitted to stick their heads out of doors?"
