"Exactly, old boy!" said Peters, slapping his preceptor on the knee. "Exactly! I'm not one of your weak-headed ones. Oh no!" "Look here, Joe Morgan!" the half-angry voice of Simon Slade now rung through the bar-room, "just take yourself off home!" I had not observed the entrance of this person. He was standing at the bar, with an emptied glass in his hand.
Thy only chance was to fight him. 'Does your lordship think so indeed? asked Rowland, with a glimmer of eagerness. 'On my soul I do. Thou art weak-headed from thy sickness and weariness. 'You comfort me, my lord a little. But the stolen mare, my lord? 'Ah! there indeed I can say nothing. That was not well done, and evil came thereof.
Nevertheless Richard had determined that if the course of the trial should offer the least opportunity, he would come forward and plead his former knowledge of young Babington as a rash and weak-headed youth, easily played upon by designing persons, but likely to take to heart such a lesson as this, and become a true and loyal subject.
Her unjust reproach went to his heart, so long preoccupied with its own troubles; he recalled with a tender remorse the old Venetian days and the kindliness of the gracious, silly woman who had seemed to like him so much; he remembered the charm of her perfect ladylikeness, and of her winning, weak-headed desire to make every one happy to whom she spoke; the beauty of the good-will, the hospitable soul that in an imaginably better world than this will outvalue a merely intellectual or aesthetic life.

It is averred that all the evils and miseries of our existence were entailed upon us by the meddlesome and altogether gratuitous perverseness of one weak-headed woman.
"That is well, my son," said Richard, as Cavendish rode out of the court. "Babington is both hot and weak-headed, and I fear me is in the toils of the Scottish lady; but he would never do aught that he held as disloyal by a comrade. I wish I could say the same of him anent the Queen." "And you will guard her from him, sir?" earnestly said Humfrey.
It was not a really difficult place, but what made it awkward was, that immediately beneath this projection gaped a deep fissure or donga, on the brink of which we now stood, originally dug out, no doubt, by the rush of water from the peak and cliff.
