He looked at Jo who had become as silent as ever the wife of Flores was. She had learned the same trick of the eyes a sort of sheep-like content. "But, Stubbs," broke out Danbury, "will you go back with me? We'll take dynamite and men enough to blow out the whole mountain. Say, it will be bully and " He felt warm fingers close over his own.
"But this is only the beginning. Come in here to my crania and jaws." Evidently he held me hypnotized, for he now hurried me unresisting through a back door into a dark little where he turned up the gas, and I saw shelves as in a museum, to one of which he led me. I suppose that it was curiosity that rendered me thus sheep-like.
Half the men on the island took their opinions, especially of the women, from Mrs. Guthrie Brimston. She was forever lowering her own sex in their estimation, and they, with sheep-like docility, bowed to her dictates, and never dreamt of judging for themselves. Mr. Price persuaded Mr. St. John to come and look on at the dance. They were leaning now against the bulwarks beside Mrs.
If nothing disturbed them they would feed quietly enough, and a long spell of reading might be quite safely indulged in. If any of them showed signs of wandering out of bounds, a stroll in their direction, book in hand, would usually be quite sufficient, with or without Cheviot's aid, to turn them. And if a leading sheep were turned, the others would, sheep-like, follow the new lead thus imparted.
The Family of Charles IV, his patron and patroness, with the sheep-like head of the favourite De la Paz, is here in all its bitter humour; it might be called a satiric pendant to that other Familia, not many yards away, Las Meninas.

One couldn't, it was clear, go down among the masses, no matter how thoughtfully dressed, with only an equipment of good will, and hope to do them much good. Nor was she, she now suspected, the person to attempt such a career.
On and on the desperate cowards scampered, sheep-like in their shameful fear, till they reached Dunbar and behind its gates allowed themselves to breathe more freely, and to congratulate themselves upon the dangers they had escaped.
The appreciation of enough persons of good taste was what gave a work of art its permanent market value, or in other words made it "a work of art." There was no real cleavage. And he was sufficiently accustomed to sheep-like and unseeing visitors, to be intrigued by one who did not hesitate to say of Mauve: "Good old haystacks!" or of James Maris: "Didn't he just paint and paper 'em!
True, the daughter was tied to the apron strings of her mother. But then Jim could only fling his pocketbook in her face. He had done it and she, sheep-like, had obviously accepted the situation without a question, a murmur. How could he, as an American, gage such a blank lack of character, individuality?
Spilsby took no notice of this, but, seeing some people coming round the corner, commenced to sing out his praises of the specials. 'Ere yer are all 'ot an' steamin', he cried, in a kind of loud bleat, which added still more to his sheep-like appearance: 'Spilsby's Specials oh, lovely ain't they nice; my eye, fine muttin pies; who ses Spilsby's; 'ave one, miss? to Kitty.
