I don't mean that she will have gone away, or be dead in the familiar sense. I haven't any doubt but that she would live with you again she is not small-minded and she's far more unconventional than you what there was of her." "If you or anyone else thinks that I don't admire Claire " he stopped desperately. "We won't get far talking," Peyton added; "even if all you have said is a fact.
Now, if he makes a big catch, do you see, he has renown. People say, 'There's Taiere, who caught all those fish yesterday. That's worth more to him than money. But if he could sell those fish, if there was competition, only the small-minded, the business souls, would fish. I'm not a socialist, but Aitutaki shows that, released from the gain, man will serve his fellows for their plaudits.
Naturally the challenge for cause may or may not be allowed by the judge the form being, "Your Honor, I ask you to excuse Mr. Smith," because the lawyers are more careful in attempting them; for if they are not allowed the juror challenged may be small-minded enough to retain a grudge against the counsel. The sure challenges are the peremptory ones without any cause stated or reason given.
They cast him down at the moment; and he'll even make resolves to be more open-handed, or more close-fisted, as the case may be, but the weakness lies in your nature, and you could no more cure me from being small-minded with my manure than you could have cured Mary from shivering to her spine every time she saw a single magpie, or spilled the salt.
Out on the craven and base-hearted who aspire to being less than the co-rulers of a continent. See how vile and mean are those men who in the South have lost all national pride in a small-minded provincial attachment to a State, who love their local county better still, and concentrate their real political interests in the feudal government of a plantation.
"So I do pride myself on my common sense, an' I've some right to. A cross is a cross I allow that and whatever I may think, I ban't so small-minded as to fall foul of them as think differ'nt. My awn mother be a church-goer for that matter, an' you'll look far ways for her equal. But of coourse I knaw what I knaw. Me an' Hicks talked out matters of religion so dry as chaff."
Busby was a well-meaning, small-minded person, anxious to justify his appointment. His Alsatians did not like him, and complained that his manners were exclusive and his wit caustic. Probably this meant nothing more than that he declined to join in their drinking-bouts. His life, however, had its own excitements. A chief whom he had offended tried to shoot him.
After a while he went to his room, shut the door and began to play as he had not played since he had ceased roaming. It was full of hate and scorn, full of longing and revolt. You thought to bind me, but you must forge new fetters. You thought to make me as small-minded as yourselves, but I turn to larger things, to the open.
If he had been as small-minded and cruel as you, he would have left you to die on the floor the day you fell, instead of bringing you upstairs and going for a doctor you, who have cursed him! You had better know the truth. Did you think it was I who placed you on this bed? I couldn't have done it. I am not strong enough. It was Martin Martin Howe!" Ellen stared stupidly.
"You are free to ride back with us when we go." "No hard feelings, then?" asked the lawyer. "I'm not small-minded, I trust," returned Parker. The lawyer looked at the self-possessed young man with pleased interest. This generous attitude appealed to him. "Do you realize, young man," he inquired, "that old Gideon Ward never had a man really back him down before?"
