"You take some more broth now, teacher, and keep r'al slow-minded and easy, and hev' a good night's rest, and to-morrer I'll tell ye all about it!" But I persisted; so Grandma continued gently: "Wall, it wa'n't much to tell, only the doctor said ye wasn't to be talked to much, nor worked up; but I reckon a little pleasant news ain't a gonter hurt nobody.
It is true that his slow-minded sons, even while they submitted to the impressions of the recent event, had glimmerings of terrible distrusts, as to the manner in which their elder brother had met with his death.
There this very curious entry ended. It was easy enough to discover the influence which had made my slow-minded sister so ready with her memory and her pen so ready, in short, to do anything and everything, provided her heart was in it, and her father was in it. But Eunice is wrong, let me tell her, in what she says of myself.
The slow-minded mate would have remonstrated against the order, had he dared; but there was that, in the calm, subdued, but deep tones of his young Commander, which admonished him of the hazard. He was not wrong, however, in considering the duty he was now to perform as one not without some risk.
"As I make Carden out," he wrote about this time, "he's a slow-minded, unimaginative, commercial Briton, with as much nimbleness as an elephant. British commerce is his deity, British advantage his duty and mission; and he goes about his work with blunt dullness and ineptitude. That's his mental calibre as I read him a dull, commercial man."
"Let's stop at his place on the Sonnenberg, then," said Molly, who never took more than sixty seconds to make the most momentous decisions, less important ones getting themselves arranged while slow-minded English people drew breath.
We had to wait until a slow-minded frontier lawyer mastered it in all its implications, and then patiently explained it to the farmers of Illinois, to the United States, and to the world. It is true that the unsophisticated mode of procedure may turn out to be sheer folly, a "sixteen to one" triumph of provincial barbarism. But sometimes it is the secret of freshness and of force.
If Hume made a ridiculous figure in these circles, the error did not lie on the side of that cheerful and profound philosopher. This subject leads our inquiries to the nature of the conversations of men of genius. Conversations of men of genius. Their deficient agreeableness may result from qualities which conduce to their greatness. Slow-minded men not the dullest.
In conversation the operations of the intellect with some are habitually slow, but there will be found no difference between the result of their perceptions and those of a quicker nature; and hence it is that slow-minded men are not, as men of the world imagine, always the dullest.
Here in England, and particularly on a fortnight's run in the lowlands of Scotland once, I have, like you, my lady, come now and then across the people we call common, men and women, old wayside men especially; slow-minded, but hard in their grasp of facts, and ready to learn, and logical, large in their ideas, though going a roundabout way to express them.
