Goodchild, with a party of other Lunatics and one Keeper, the express incarnation of the thing called a 'gent. A gentleman born; a gent manufactured. A something with a scarf round its neck, and a slipshod speech issuing from behind the scarf; more depraved, more foolish, more ignorant, more unable to believe in any noble or good thing of any kind, than the stupidest Bosjesman.
Jessie and Jason, even the bovine William, who was reputed the stupidest man in the dale, noticed the change in her, noticed the touch of colour that was so quick to mount to the ivory cheek, the novel brightness and tenderness in the deep grey eyes, the new note, the low, sweet tone of happiness in the clear voice.
My next impression was that they were really in earnest, but about the very stupidest pair of old gentlemen that ever wore hair powder. "And this is all," said I, drawing a long breath, and inwardly uttering a short prayer for patience.
Stella's mother never had a very high opinion of my abilities. She now appeared to consider me the stupidest person in the circle of her acquaintance. "Are you a little deaf, Winterfield?" she asked. "Not that I know of." "Do you understand me?" "Oh, yes." "Then why can't you say something? I want a man's opinion of our prospects. Good gracious, how you fidget!
Perhaps he gave himself a reprieve unconsciously, thinking that something might happen to save him from himself. Nothing happened. None of the "boys" came to see him, except Carl Olsen, the very stupidest man in the shop, who put Lieders beside himself fifty times a day.
The odds are heavily in favor of the Insurance Company of that the stupidest person can have no shadow of doubt. Yet we continue to insure, as private individuals and as business men, and so far from being ashamed of our proceedings as a weak and nerveless folly, which somehow we are unable to resist, we blazon them forth in the strong accents of conscious pride.
I have to go for a minute or two to the stupidest of garden parties at Surbiton. You shall drive with me, and afterwards, if you like, we will come back by Richmond and dine. What do you say?" "Delightful," he answered, "and if I were an idle man nothing in the world would give me more pleasure. But this afternoon I must not think of it. I am behind with my work already.
It isn't fair to play it with him, Lucy, when you know the rules and he doesn't." "I assure you, Kitty, he knows them as well as you or I do; better." "I doubt it." That move in the game would never have been made if he had known the rules. How could she let him make it? "Really, Lucy, for a nice woman you do the queerest things." "And, really, Kitty, for a clever woman, you say the stupidest.
He could not at first believe in his good fortune, having no understanding of her weariness of more artificial men; but a time comes when the stupidest sees in an eye the glance of his other half; and it came to him, who was quite the reverse of dull.
By the next interim she had forgotten all about Polly and whether she was having a nice time or the stupidest one imaginable, for Joel, who held dancing in great contempt, sauntered up. "Aren't you glad now that you didn't find out about the secret?" cried Alexia radiantly. "Oh! you are such a nuisance, Joey," she added frankly.
