I confess if I visited Muir Glacier a hundred times I should always remain on deck and watch the pyrotechnics of the façade rather than undergo the thankless fatigue of climbing to the top, which is infinitely more laborious than the ascent of Vesuvius on foot through the lava, or any work to be done on the trails of the Yosemite.
It is not a big concern at present, of course, but the boy can learn the business there, and if he has anything in him I shall keep my eye on him he can come to us later." Then he grasped the hand she unwillingly extended. "You see I promised poor William," he told her, by way of explaining his kind interest in her affairs. "And however thankless the task may be, I shall keep my word."
"You put the cart before the horse, I think," says he. "That which I had given was a portion of my liking, which your thankless nature does not seem to have remarked. He paused a bit. "And I warn you, you do not know yourself," he added. "Youth is a hasty season; you will think better of all this before a year." "Well, and I would like to be that kind of youth!" I cried.
Our Queen in her desire "to get at the root and reality of things" is entirely in harmony with the spirit of her age. In scientific men we look for the ardent pursuit of difficult truth; and it would be thankless to forget how numerous beyond precedent have been in the Victorian period faithful workers in the field of science.
There is no duty which so much embarrasses the Executive and heads of Departments as that of appointments, nor is there any such arduous and thankless labor imposed on Senators and Representatives as that of finding places for constituents.

"Sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child." I left David with Mrs. B , who will find him a home in some family where they wish to adopt a little son.
"Do you try?" "Yes, sometimes." "But why?" "Because I think I ought to. It seems so thankless of me to go whole days without even remembering there is such a place." Phyllis jumped up from the couch, tumbling Galahad to the floor and threw her arms around her. "Oh, you darling!" she exclaimed. "I could hug you to death for saying that.
Passing over this original quarrel it appears that, according to Buonaparte's own admission, Sir H. Lowe endeavoured, when he took his thankless office upon him, to place the intercourse between himself and his prisoner on a footing as gracious as could well be looked for under all the circumstances of the case; and that he, the ex-emperor, ere the governor had been a week at St.
All that I could make out for certain was that he had crossed the stream, and that his business, whatever it was, had been with the few acres of tumbled wilderness below the precipices.
