He bragged indefatigably of his club and the people whom he met there. He dated all his private correspondence from it, and spent hundreds of daylight hours above the ivories and the pasteboard. At the time of that foolish and weak-willed Bommaney's disaster there were two or three I.O.U.'s for sums much more considerable than he could afford to part with in the hands of his fellow-members.
The "he" of the conversation, who was not to last ten years, was Gervase Norgate of Ashpound a poor, impulsive, weak-willed, fast-living young neighbouring squire. Unluckily for himself, he had been early left his own master, and had ridden post-haste to the dogs ever since.
Her mother, always weak-willed, would say: "Vera, dear, I wonder if you were really naughty, or if it was that they didn't quite understand you." Oh, there was nothing to fear about being sent home, but the fact that thus she would lose a deal of fun that she could so enjoy with a lot of lively girls of her own age. She resolved to appear as off-hand as usual, unless Mrs.
And what of the loafer, the bum, the man who's too lazy or weak-willed to put out any more effort than is absolutely necessary to stay alive? Well, my goodness, the poor chap can't help it, can he? It isn't his fault, is it? He has to be helped. There is always something he is both capable of doing and willing to do. Does he like to sit around all day and do nothing but watch television?

'Rapier and dagger' are forced upon weak-willed Hamlet by Osric. How subtle is this satire! For appearance' sake, in order to outshine Laertes, the Prince accepts the challenge. Happiness and life, which he ought long ago to have risked for the purpose of avenging his father and his honour, are now staked from sheer vanity.
Weak-willed monarch as he was, he could not resist Buckingham's persuasions, though he dreaded the result.
At the crosspaths there darted in all directions, as thick as dust, countless hordes of grey sprites and evil spirits. Their running was so impetuous that they could have borne along with them every living, weak-willed soul. And it could already be seen that running in their midst were the pitiful souls of little people. Kirsha whispered in a voice full of fear: "Quicker, quicker into the ring!
