He placed his finger on the Minister's breast, and drew back a little, the better to enjoy the approbation he expected to read in the other's face. 'We will say that the girl fell ill, and I, in my anxiety, sent Madame Sagan my own wife, mark you to accompany her to Révonde.
You were candid enough about your attitude. But I told myself like a conceited fool that I could make your life so full that in a little while I'd be the only possible figure on your horizon.

She was in the power of a hard, grasping, thin-blooded, tough-fibred, trading educator, who neither knew nor cared for a tender woman's sensibilities, but who paid her and meant to have his money's worth out of her brains, and as much more than his money's worth as he could get.
Did you suppose that men in love carry their sweethearts around wrapped in cotton-wool?

Söster began to be restless, she was the most thin-blooded of the three and felt the cold.

If this meek, thin-blooded young clergyman who walks beside him might have won her, it seems to Saxham that he could have borne it.
Naturally he could go longer without nourishment than a weak, attenuated, thin-blooded man. "'Yet Mr. Rathbun was exercising daily and about his usual avocations, and he abstained from food for thirty-six days! Well, it's remarkable! "'But I sincerely hope Mr. Rathbun will have no imitators.
