Then this town had been by way of premium for stanchness and courage made the capital of this State of tornadoes and whirlwinds. But this was as far as it went or seemed to intend to go.
An hour they were there, lingering in talk talking in a circle; for at regular intervals Nancy must return to this: "I believe no wife ever goes away until there is absolutely no shred of possibility left no last bit of realness to hold her. But now I know your stanchness." "Really, Nance I can't tell you how much you please me." There was a knock at the door. They looked at each other bewildered.
We must, however, learn that consistency of character does not mean lack of change. Stanchness of character is too often mere obstinate resistance to change.

"I will say that, though they be English; and though they be too fast for fox, entirely, there never was sich dogs for deer" "But how the deuce," I interrupted, "can hounds be too fast, if they have bone and stanchness!" "Stanchness be darned; they holes them!"
His followers regarded this charitable selfishness as the stanchness and zeal of friendship; and the ambition of hundreds was wound up in the ambition of the unprincipled minister.
'You need be under no fear of treachery from me, said the steward, somewhat bitterly. 'I am a man to whom you have been kind no patron could have been kinder.
