Did she do or say anything to provoke the blow? asked the Chairman. No more than to ask for the shilling. Did she not abuse him? Well, yes, she did; she owned she did call him a drunken brute afterwards; she could not help it. These women, with their rapid tongues, have a terrible advantage over the slower-witted men. Had the defendant any questions to ask his wife?
We have beaten and starved him, but he laughs this Gringo devil and tells us he will live to see us wearing stripes in prison." "Muy bien." Manuel talked on briskly, so as to give the slower-witted Mexican no time to get set in obstinacy. "I should be able to arrange matters then. We must free the man after I have his word to tell nothing."
They were two; and a slower-witted third was travelling to his ideas on the subject. Three men, witnesses of a remarkable incident in connection with a boiling topic of current scandal, glaringly illustrative of it, moreover, were unlikely to keep close tongues, even if they had been sworn to secresy.
They all turned to stare, and the cioccara put out her tongue as Olive went by. Rosina instantly replied in kind. "Ohè! Fortunata! Benedetta ragazza! Resting as usual? Does Lorenz still beat you?" She described the antecedents and characteristics of Lorenz. The slower-witted country girl had a more limited vocabulary. Her eyes glared in the shadow of her white coif. "Ah," she gasped.
That same pallor promised ill for future generations in Chippewa. But they had a rather appealing, wistful fragility. Their eyes generally looked too big for their faces.

She caught her breath, and turning to her slower-witted husband, laid her trembling old hand upon his. There was a long silence. "He was caught in the machinery," said the visitor at length in a low voice.
He was probably right: the generation which he wrote for was duller than this; slower-witted, aesthetically untrained, and in maturity not so apprehensive of an artistic intention as the children of to-day. All this is not saying Scott was not a great man; he was a great man, and a very great novelist as compared with the novelists who went before him.

Moreover, Stead ceased to grunt contemptuously when Patience, with Goody Grace to back her, declared that Ben was too young and slight for farm work. The boy was allowed to trudge his daily three miles to school, and there his progress was the wonder and delight of his slower-witted brother and sister.
Earnestly he went on: "It's a chance of a life time. It means a lot to me and Fanny too." "Yes, that's true," chimed in his fiancée. Virginia turned and looked at her sister. "How?" she demanded. Jimmie, as usual, replied for his slower-witted partner: "Do you think," he said, "I want to be a shipping clerk all my life? Well, I don't. I've got ambitions. Yes, and I've got the ability.
