What made you say she was not pretty?" "Why, I said, she was not as handsome as Mrs. Hoffman." "She suits me ten times better. She is like this, "'A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food." Dolly repeated the talk and the verses to Stephen. "And Peter is such a solid, steady-going fellow. He was really smitten." "The idea! And with that child!" Dolly laughed gaily.
"Steady-going old party," said de Crespigny. Why, have you run foul of him?" "He has offered me ten thousand piastres to poison Ali Higg" "Show me the money!" laughed de Crespigny. "He was hardly as previous as that. His head wife bribed these kids to bring me to the house, and the old boy met me in the wool-store. Said he'd been told I was going to Petra.
He suffered her to have her way, seeing how close was the bond of sympathy between them, and realising that the very fact of supporting Daisy would be her own support. "You are as steady-going as a professional," he told her once. To which she answered with her sad smile, "I served my probation in the school of sorrow last year.
It was a long walk home, but in those days, when there were neither cars nor cabs, people were used to walking, and the two men would not mind it. Betty could drive Jack by night or day, as he was a sure-footed, steady-going animal, and for a distance the road was straight up Beacon Street.
Now Jim, nearly three years his junior, was lent Monarch without even having asked for him; while he was still, he presumed, to ride the steady-going Brown Betty, whom he thoroughly despised, in spite of the fact that she had once got rid of him. He registered another notch in his general grudge against Billabong. Mr. Linton was absolutely ignorant of what passed in his nephew's mind.
But he never was so popular as he is now. And she isn't by any means a steady-going Come-Outer. Why, Zeke Bassett and the rest have been finding fault with her and calling her a backslider. That'll help. Then you trust me to whoop up her heroism and the fact that without her he would have died. We can do it, Keziah. Come on! I've tackled a good many jobs, but matchmaking isn't one of 'em.
Finally, she delivered it as the general result of her observation and experience, that those marriages in which there was least of what was romantically and sillily called love, were always the happiest; and that she anticipated the greatest possible amount of bliss not rapturous bliss; but the solid, steady-going article from the approaching nuptials.
"Jock, you do talk foolishly for a man who is able to build a church," said Cynthia, as she walked away. The young Moses referred to was Moses Hatch, Junior, son of the pillar of the Church and State, and it was an open secret that he was madly in love with Cynthia. Let it be said of him that he was a steady-going young man, and that he sighed for the moon.
It does cost an effort to make up one's mind to go there, not only because the inexperienced in the matter fancy the water system a very perilous one, but also because one's steady-going friends, on hearing of our purpose, are apt to shake their heads, perhaps even to tap their foreheads, to speak doubtfully of our common sense, and express a kind hope behind our backs, especially that we are not growing fanciful and hypochondriac, and that we may not end in writing testimonials in favour of Professor Holloway.
But his imagination was as free as the winds, and it often led him upon excursions in which nobody could follow him, and which caused the more steady-going scientific brethren to shake their heads. They called him able but flighty. The public considered him brilliant and amusing.
