We have ever judged and acted for ourselves, and it is hard to us not to do so still, when our minds are chafed." "Friedel," said Ebbo, sternly, "I will have no pardon asked for maintaining my mother's cause. Do not thou learn to be smooth- tongued." "O thou wrong-headed boy!" half groaned Master Gottfried. "Why did not all this fall out ten years sooner, when thou wouldst have been amenable?
But as your pig is truly a wonder, you will do well to get him in the hands of this clever gentleman, for then his fame will be blown trumpet tongued over the land, people will rush to see him, and the critics, being well paid, will write all sorts of things of his talents.

Naturally cunning, double tongued, sly, ingratiating, after the manner of all Brahmins, who will sink to any base level in order to attain their equivocal ends his actions were unhampered by any sense of treachery toward Umballa.

Society makes 'em fit in together like tongued and grooved planks that will take any amount of holy-stoning and polish.
Yet I must flatter myself that Americans do not always thus betray themselves. I happened, on the Isle of Wight, to hear a bland landlord "blow up" his glib- tongued son because the latter had not driven a stiffer bargain with us for the hire of a carriage round the island. "Didn't you know they were Americans?" asks the irate father. "I knew it at once."

The smooth, slab-like, papa cliffs are often curiously marked tongued and grooved, as with a gouge, channelled and fluted. Sometimes horizontal lines seem to divide them into strata.
All the woodwork and metalwork was cut, and tongued, and forged, and fitted first by skilled craftsmen below, in the plain at the foot of the cleft; and when each ponderous balk and each crosspiece, and each plank was dragged up the steep pass through the conquered gates, it was ready instantly for fitting into its appointed place in the completed machine.
I asked Abe Lincoln, who all his life has associated with rough tongued, drinking men, how he had managed to hold his own course and keep his talk and habits so clean.
