There are many proverbs to the effect that "When worry comes in, wit flies out," and these are all true. Worry unsettles the mind, unbalances the judgment, induces fever of the intellect, which renders calm, cool weighing of matters impossible. No man of great achievements ever worried during his period of greatness. Had he done so his greatness could never have been achieved.

"I mean, what's the row, Joe?" "Since you gentlemen came she's been saucy," said Joe. "I do not see," observed the chairman, "that anything can be done. "Beg pardon, sir?" "Oh, I mean if the lady prefers us, Joe?" Joe brought his fat fist down on the table with a thump. "It aint as if you meant it," said he doggedly; "you just unsettles of 'er.

"I wish you could keep still, my dear," he said. "There is an inquietude in your very pose that unsettles me, and with a little fortitude one can get used to anything. For instance, if anybody had told me five years ago that I could take my after-dinner coffee without a slight flavour of old cognac I should not have believed them." Nellie Townshead evinced a little impatience.
