"You will find it in the thing that is most definite, not in the thing that is most indefinite. Isn't it so, doctor? Happiness lies in the positive, not in the negative." "Happiness lies in many places. Each finds it in a different house." "Perhaps you can't tell where I should find it, Val," Julian interposed, with a certain sturdiness of manner. "No," said Cuckoo, eagerly.
The ejaculation came after a moment of intense silence a silence during which she seemed to discern the sturdiness of years drop slowly away from him. "So that is the explanation which people give to my desire for retirement and a life of contemplation. Well," he slowly added, with the halting utterance of one to whom each word is an effort, "I can see some justification for their conclusions now.
In that way we shall draw the utmost profit out of an incident which, after all, is as paltry as it is frivolous." "You're humorous, abbe," said M. d'Anquetil; "to judge by the sturdiness of their knocks, they'll burst the door open." And as a fact the knocker resounded like thunder. "They are robbers," exclaimed the soaked girl. "Jesus!
It is a salutary but humiliating fact that we incur the worst human ills by our lack of human charity. We starved and over-crowded our poor till they bred consumption, and we enslaved negroes till they degenerated our Anglo-Saxon sturdiness of character, then plunged a great nation into civil war, and have finally become one of its most serious social problems.
And Miss Alcott is fond of working her story around, so that she can better rub in a moral precept and the moral sometimes browbeats the story. But with all the elder Alcott's vehement, impracticable, visionary qualities, there was a sturdiness and a courage at least, we like to think so.
"The brown for sturdiness, the black for speed," he would say, making a maxim of his whim to give it the sanction of a higher law. Gilmour was in a wild temper because he had been forced to get up at five o'clock in order to turn several hundred cheeses, to prevent them bulging out of shape owing to the heat, and so becoming cracked and spoiled. He did not raise his head at his master's approach.
The Nimrod instincts of the race were awakened in Merton, and I soon found that he had set his heart on a book that gave an account of game, fish, birds, and mammals. It was a natural and wholesome longing. I myself had felt it keenly when a boy. Such country sport would bring sturdiness to his limbs and the right kind of color into his face.
A run over to Algiers was nothing. They could be back in England in two or three weeks. So The Wanderer had gone round to Marseilles, and the party of six had come out by train to meet her there. Susan Fleet was one of those capable and intelligent women who are apt to develop sturdiness if they do not marry and have children.
There was a new meaning to the roar of the surges, an honest, loyal sturdiness in the unchanging persistency of the uncouth and blustering trade-winds, and a mute fidelity in the shining sands, treacherous to all but him. With such bandogs to lie in wait for trespassers, should he not be grateful?
Only the figure awakens grave doubts. In the effort to be faithful to reality, the fear of making concessions to beauty, he lapsed into ungraceful angularity and a sturdiness which, in my opinion, would be unpleasing even in a mortal woman. The excess of unbridled power again makes it self visible in the wonderfully gifted man. Many things reached him too late, and others too soon."
