Helen looked her gratitude and McIver led the Mill owner away. When they were in Adam's own apartment and the door was shut McIver's manner changed with startling abruptness. With all the masterful power of his strong-willed nature he faced his trembling host, and his heavy voice was charged with the force of his dominating personality. "Listen to me, Adam Ward. You must stop this crazy nonsense.
When admitted to the bar he will enter, as youngest partner, the law firm of which for over thirty years his grandfather was the head. And through all he is the same frank, wholesome-hearted, strong-willed, but gentle Malcom that we knew in Italy. The other day he entrusted to his mother and sister a precious secret that must not yet be divulged.
And he knew an anger of the brain as well as an anger of the heart. But this anger roused him, and he resolved to do something from which till now he had instinctively shrunk, strong-willed man though he was. If Gaspare would not help him he would act for himself. Possibly the suspicion, the fear that beset him was groundless.
Nicholas Biddle, a trained financier and strong-willed aristocrat, who put little faith in popular elections and plebiscites, was the head of the Bank, and all the presidents and directorates of the subordinate banks were his appointees; he controlled absolutely all the departments and all the directors of the parent bank in Philadelphia, going so far in 1833 as to deny the government directors their lawful right to attend the board meetings.
For the greater part these ignorant but stubborn and strong-willed frontiersmen were moved by a bitter hatred of "abolitionism," because the word had now been used for half a century by partisans high and low Governors, Senators, Presidents as a term of opprobrium and a synonym of crime.
As if a tree nodded unto me, a broad-branched, strong-willed tree, curved as a recline and a foot-stool for weary travellers: thus did the world stand on my promontory: As if delicate hands carried a casket towards me a casket open for the delectation of modest adoring eyes: thus did the world present itself before me to-day:

"I feel as the old alchemists must have done," he often thought. "Here is a base metal. Why can I not transmute it into gold?"
I wasn't there, and only heard what Camperdown told me. Camperdown thinks he's afraid of her." "I shouldn't wonder at that in the least," said Frank. "I know there'll be trouble," continued Eustace, "and Fawn won't be able to help us through it. She's a strong-willed, cunning, obstinate, clever little creature. Camperdown swears he'll be too many for her, but I almost doubt it."
His black hair, his long, dark face of no particular beauty marked with straight, black brows set in a perpetual frown that was the sign of a "Black" Ralestone. They were as strong-willed as the "Reds," but their anger could be controlled to icy rage.
He was a visionary, even a recluse, like his friend Moreau, but a fighter for his ideas; and those ideas have shown not only French artists, but the entire world, the path back to true mural tradition. It is not an exaggeration to say that Puvis created modern decorative art. His father was chief engineer of mines, a strong-willed, successful man.
