After that, although their emotion was deep, they made no great show of it. The border was always terse. "I knowed you'd shake 'em off, Henry," said the shiftless one. "But it must have been a long chase," said Paul. "Wish I'd been with you," said Long Jim. "Big work," said Tom Ross. "I didn't do it all my myself," said Henry. "I was helped by the people of the forest.
Until then I really thought that Sally was being sardonic about an iron as a substitute for victuals! When she first began to dress me, I was very thin, so thin that it was really a grief to me. Sally would comfort me in my thin days by the terse compliment: "Beautiful and fat to-night, dear."
The book is no romance, but a domestic history compiled from tradition about two hundred years after the events which it narrates had taken place. Of its style, which is wonderfully terse, the following translated account of Nial and his family will perhaps convey some idea: "There was a man called Nial, who was the son of Thorgeir Gelling, the son of Thorolf.
He contributed five biographies to the new edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. The articles on Bentley, Erasmus, Grotius, More, and Macaulay are from his pen. They are all terse, luminous, and finished, and the only complaint that one can make against them is that our instructor parts company from us too soon.
To them, indeed, I frankly reiterated a terse dictum which I had coined during my first period of elation. "Just press the button of Injustice," I said, "and I'll do the rest!" This I meant, for fear of punishment does not restrain a man in the dare-devil grip of elation. What fostered my self-control was a sense of gratitude. The doctors and attendants treated me as a gentleman.
I'm all bitten up with punkies, and " "Dashed old woods-loafer; let's tie his hands and fire him in the creek." "Exactly, boys. Your remarks are terse, and to the point. Only, as I am going to show you a trick or two on woodcraft this afternoon, you can afford to wait a little. Now, quit smoking, and get out your hatchets; we'll go to work."
The remark by Burke to Mackintosh, that Johnson was greater in Boswell's books than in his own, the absence of the terse and artistic touch to the sayings of the Rambler in the pages of Hawkins, Thrale, Murphy and others, suggest inevitably that they have been touched up by their reporter.
So he made one of the little circle, and "assisted" well at this, the first of many social evenings, at Farnwood Dell But at times, Olive caught some of his terse, keen, and somewhat sarcastic sayings, and thought she could imagine the look and tone with which he had said the bitter words about "never trusting woman more."
As the guard started, Hal fell in beside Corporal Hyman, telling him more of what had happened in the cellar under the Moro curio shop. "I reckon, Sarge, you've made the biggest discovery of the year in this point of the woods," was Hyman's terse comment. "I reckon, too, the captain will see it that way." It was cooler by night, though this was due mainly to the absence of the sun.
Over and over, his last words came back to me: "Consciousness is the creature of Rhythm." Bald and terse as the statement was, I now found it infinitely alluring. At each recurrence it broadened in meaning and deepened in suggestion. If consciousness is the product of rhythm all things ARE conscious, for all have motion, and all motion is rhythmic.
