But she was, after all, a shallow-pated individual, without a shred of principle of any sort whatsoever, save the single merit of unswerving loyalty to her "pals." Mary cherished a certain warm kindliness for the first woman who had befriended her in any way, but beyond this there was no finer feeling.
Can that shallow-pated scribbler suppose that an oath taken by rulers to stand by a form of government, adopted by the people, can be of any force or consideration if the people choose to change that form of government for another more agreeable to their wishes? Vox Populi, when was you there? and did you really see the oath registered?
If my master did give them that paper he must have been out of his senses, and you need not, therefore, regard it as other than the act of a madman." "Peace, shallow-pated fool!" cried Sir Giles.

Mitchell had doubled his fortune; Irene was now a richer heiress than ever; Delbridge was in great luck; and a shallow-pated woman, whom Mostyn both feared and despised, was threatening him with exposure.

The goose is silly and shallow-pated; yet what dignity and impressiveness in her migrating wild clans driving in ordered ranks across the spring or autumnal skies, linking the Chesapeake Bay and the Canadian Lakes in one flight! The great forces are loosened and winter is behind them in one case, and the tides of spring bear them on in the other.
Used by a blundering, shallow-pated empiric it may be worse than useless may do, as in many cases it has done, incalculable mischief to a patient.

Few men understand, but Donal did, that he who would cancel an obligation is a dishonest man.
