It would add materially to the comfort of visitors and would be a notable addition to the attractions of the town. Councillor Didlum said it was a very good idear, and proposed that the Surveyor be instructed to get out the plans. Dr Weakling opposed the motion. If Mr Grinder wanted a shelter for his customers he should pay for it himself.
She had been accustomed to roam about the farm in all weathers and at all times and seasons. She recalled to herself the night a tempestuous one when she had risen in serious concern as to the lying-in of her favorite Alderney heifer, and how she had saved the life of the calf, a weakling, dropped apparently from the clouds in the tempest, as it lay beside the barn.
Smith, however, was not by any means a weakling except physically; he could even satirise himself sensibly and good-humouredly enough; and his popularity had the solid result of giving him a post in the University of Edinburgh not lucrative and by no means a sinecure, but not too uncongenial, and allowing him a chance both to read and to write.
But, though his heart was quailing within him, Brother Bart's laddie was no weakling: he stood bravely to his post, bathing his father's head and hands, wetting the dry, muttering lips, soothing him with tender words and soft caresses, "daddy, my own dear daddy, it is your little boy that is with you, your own little Boy Blue! You will be better soon, daddy."
The shirk, the duffer, the malingerer, the coward, the weakling, may be put out of countenance by his own failures and frauds; but the man who does evil skilfully, energetically, masterfully, grows prouder and bolder at every crime. The common man may have to found his self-respect on sobriety, honesty and industry; but a Napoleon needs no such props for his sense of dignity.
Living, he gave us a poor weakling. Dying, he leaves the throne to a brave man, in whose veins flows the blood of the Rubinroths, hereditary rulers of Lutha. "You are the only rightful successor to the throne of Lutha," he argued, "other than Peter of Blentz. Your mother's marriage to a foreigner did not bar the succession of her offspring.
While the painters try to bring the Christ nearer to the crowd, while Fritz von Uhde or Lhermitte put the Christ in a country school, in a workingman's house, the weakling writers, imitating poets, dress Him in old, faded, traditional clothes and surround Him with a theatrical light which they dare to call "mysticism." They are crowding the porticos of the temple, but they are merely merchants.
"The cries of the wailing women behind this door admonish us loudly enough to hate him." "Yet the weakling on the throne has forgotten vengeance, and is now sending Hosea on an errand of reconciliation." "With your sanction, I think?" "Ay," replied the priest with a mocking smile. "We send him to build a bridge! Oh, this bridge!
Skinner's face was hard, his lips thin, his jaw was not that of a weakling. He had dressed early, then wrapped a horse-blanket about his shoulders, and now, casting this aside, sprinted down the dirt track for a few yards to test the footing, while Gallagher watched him with satisfaction a thing of steel and wire, as tough, as agile, and as spirited as a range-raised cow-pony.
Underfed and overworked for generations, starved from birth, starved before birth, we drive and harry and crush them, the weakling and his weaker sons; we exploit them, gull them, poison them, lie to them, filch from them.
