And though he judges it not fit to lead the Forlorn in vice and profaneness: yet, if he goes about to damp a frolic, there is great danger, not only of losing his Sunday dinner, but also all opportunities of such future refreshments, for his niceness and squeamishness!
I don't want to marry her, of course; there are ten other girls I'd rather have as wife; but there was no other way out of the difficulty, so I just swallowed my squeamishness for good and always. See?" "It was Miss Teresa Anderson I was pitying," said Kettle pointedly. "Good Lord, man, why? Isn't it the finest thing in the world for her?"
But it's near enough, and I'll say it to him." His own view of lying was the same as that she had expressed. Also, he had no squeamishness about saying what was in no sense true, if the falsehood were necessary to his purposes. Yet her statement of her code, moral though he thought it and eminently sensible as well, lowered her once more in his estimation.
The late supper a fourth meal always served on board the "International" was something of a scramble, but our young people enjoyed it, as few of the older passengers were present, and though an occasional fit of squeamishness disturbed both twins, while Bess had to disappear suddenly, Dwight ate calmly on of everything offered, with an equanimity that tickled Joey, and excited the envy of all.
"But what am I to say?" "Perhaps you will now tell me just how Miss Melhuish and you parted." The fencers were coming to close quarters. Even P. C. Robinson had to admit that his "boss" had cornered the suspect rather cleverly. Grant realized that there was no room for squeamishness in this affair. If he did not speak out now, his motives might be woefully misunderstood.
We'd got over our squeamishness; they hadn't, for I don't count their bit of firing as anything. Think they'll come back, sir?" "If they do, it will be with a war-ship, and great guns," I said. "Not as they did this time." "Then I don't think they'll come at all, sir, for bringing a war-ship means big business, and our having war-ships too to keep them off.
A propos of these stories of Hale's squeamishness, Lord Campbell tells the following good anecdote of Baron Graham: "The late Baron Graham related to me the following anecdote to show that he had more firmness than Judge Hale: 'There was a baronet of ancient family with whom the judges going the Western Circuit had always been accustomed to dine.
My young companions, who, as I have observed, had only preceded me six months in the service, were already grown old in depravity; they laughed at my squeamishness, called me "milksop" and "boarding-school miss," and soon made me as bad as themselves. We had not quite attained the age of perpetration, but we were fully prepared to meet it when it came.
We are all pestered with people every day who are full of all manner of childish scrupulosity and sickly squeamishness in their ill-nourished, ill-exercised consciences. As long as a man's conscience is ignorant and weak and sickly it will, it must, spend and waste itself on the pennyworths of religion and' morals instead of the pounds.
But if that comes not in question, no more need be said. Touching the unarmed, Segfried, if I remember aright you showed no such squeamishness at our sacking of the Convent of St. Agnes." "A woman is a different matter, my Lord," said Segfried uneasily. The Baron laughed and so did some of the knights, openly relieved to find the tension of the situation relaxing.
