Sears to supper; and he came and helped us eat the pig with a great deal of appetite, and never asked no questions how we came by him!" "I wonder your stout-heartedness did not fail, in the course of so long a time," said Mr. Carleton. "Never sir!" said the old gentleman. "I never doubted for a moment what the end would be. My father never doubted for a moment.
Leigh Hunt's "Rimini" the Quarterly finds to be an "ungrammatical, unauthorized, chaotic jargon, such as we believe was never before spoken, much less written.... We never," concludes the reviewer, "in so few lines saw so many clear marks of the vulgar impatience of a low man, conscious and ashamed of his wretched vanity, and labouring, with coarse flippancy, to scramble over the bounds of birth and education, and fidget himself into the stout-heartedness of being familiar with a Lord."
Sears to supper; and he came and helped us eat the pig with a great deal of appetite, and never asked no questions how we came by him!" "I wonder your stout-heartedness did not fail, in the course of so long a time," said Mr. Carleton "Never, Sir!" said the old gentleman. "I never doubted for a moment what the end would be. My father never doubted for a moment.
I cannot help admiring and commending the zeal and stout-heartedness of those who broke off the negotiation of Amsterdam, though their decision, salutary as it was for their country, was very prejudicial to my service; the proposals made to me by the deputies from the States General were very advantageous, but I could never prevail upon myself to accept them."
They cared too little what was thought of them to be at the pains of shocking one's delicacy intentionally; but they were by no means displeased to be thought "rough."

He looked at Madam Liberality's mouth, and said that the fangs were certainly left in and would be much better out. "Would it hurt very much?" asked Madam Liberality, trembling.
People were tired of raising barricades and hounding down the king's soldiers. "I was taken into a large room where there were neither hangings nor bed; that which was brought in about eleven o'clock at night was of Chinese taffeta, not at all the thing for winter furniture. I slept very well, which must not be attributed to stout-heartedness, because misfortune has naturally that effect upon me.
Jefferson's long life, so varied, so flexible, so responsive to the touch of popular forces, illustrates the process by which the Virginia mind of 1743 became the nationalized, unionized mind of 1826. It is needless here to dwell upon the traits of his personal character: his sweetness of spirit, his stout-heartedness in disaster, his scorn of money, his love for the intellectual life.
Down safe, that is, from the steep and slippery places of self-estimation, self-exaltation, self-satisfaction. Down so as to be delivered from all ambition and emulation and envy. Down, and safe, thank God, from all pride, all high- mindedness, and all stout-heartedness.
