Baxter approved of her; he "liked her style," as he would have said. The summer term had just opened in the Maitland district. Esther Maxwell was a stranger, but she was a capable girl, and had no doubt of her own ability to get and keep the school in good working order. She smiled brightly at Mr. Baxter. "Very well for a beginning. The children seem bright and teachable and not hard to control."
The world frightens me, and a frightened man is no good for anything. I know only one way in which I could have played a meritorious part as an active citizen by becoming a schoolmaster in some little country town, and teaching half a dozen teachable boys to love study for its own sake. That I could have done, I daresay.
He was the biggest, the most intelligent, and the most teachable cub of the whole litter, and Toomey, who had an unerring eye for quality in a beast, expected to make of him a star performer among wolves. Job Toomey had been a hunter and a trapper in the backwoods of New Brunswick, where his instinctive knowledge of the wild kindreds had won him a success which presently sickened him.
"And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters." He lived therefore to see the fruit of his good rule and government in the church, even to see his teachable and dedicated son caught up to God, and to his throne.
"Now the mystery is unveiled to me also," she wrote, "I realise that you knew it all along; and that, had I but been more teachable, Reverend Father, you could have taught me more. Oh, I pray you, take heart of grace, and teach these great truths to others." She blessed him for his faithfulness in striving to make her see her duty to Hugh, and her life's true vocation.
I have no doubt that he followed the path of a solar spot, and as the sun turned on its axis he mistook the motion for that of the dark spot; or perhaps the spot changed and became extinct, and another spot closely resembling it broke out and he was deceived; his wishes all the time being 'father to the thought. "The eye is as teachable as the hand.
From this time every effort is made to fan the flickering or extinguished flame, till death relieves the weary mortal of the burden of his life. "A good supper is known by its odour." Moorish Proverb. There are no more important qualifications for the diner-out in Morocco than an open mind and a teachable spirit.
Then, my pupils being older, would be more rational, more teachable, and less troublesome than the last; they would be less confined to the schoolroom, and not require that constant labour and incessant watching; and, finally, bright visions mingled with my hopes, with which the care of children and the mere duties of a governess had little or nothing to do.
"Yes, sir, all for you; and you are to use them. Never let me see you rub your nose with your cuff again." The boy's mouth opened to say, "All right," but he checked himself. "That's right!" cried the doctor. "I see you are teachable. You were going to say `all right." "You told me not to." "I did; and I'm very pleased to find you did not do it." "I say, shall I have to clean the knives?"
She was candid and teachable, but as she could not help seeing that she had more religion than most of her acquaintance; she felt a secret complacency in observing how far her principles rose above theirs, instead of an humbling conviction of how far her own fell below the requisitions of the gospel. The fundamental error was, that she had no distinct view of the corruptions of human nature.
