Ward had exactly the excellent, well-balanced character, which seemed made to suit her, and she could have imagined being very happy with him, if No, no Mr. Ward could not be thought of at the same moment.

"And not only for her friends," he went on, "for her sympathies are world-wide. Trust her, my dear Miss Jacobi, and you will see how good she is to you. She is not hard and censorious in her judgments, she is far too well-balanced for that; if you can only secure Mrs. Godfrey for a friend, you will need no other."
Though conscious of weakness, she, Violet Strange on whom strong men had come to rely in critical hours calling for well-balanced judgment, she did not let this concern her, or allow herself to indulge in useless regrets even after the first effect of his presence had passed and she had succeeded in recalling the facts which had cast a cloud about his name.
The wisely reared and well-balanced woman will keep herself in womanly reserve for her legal husband. Your mother, by a moment's weakness and loss of self-control, left a blight upon her life for ever, and a shadow upon yours.
The forehead was broad, the eyes large and far back in their sockets, the lips full but firm. You saw evidences of a strong, but well-balanced character. As he came in, I noticed a look of intelligence pass from one to another; and then the eyes of two or three were fixed upon a young man who was seated not far from me, with his back to the entrance, playing at dominoes.
As she sat between the two, May thought that a discriminating view of Quisanté ought to be attainable, not an oscillation from disgust to admiration, but a well-balanced stable judgment which should allow full value to merits and to defects, and sum up the man as a whole.
"As for this cave-man business theoretically, they ought to react to it, both of them. They're both normal, well-balanced young ladies." "They're both runnin' pretty hard to keep in the same place, just at present." "Nancy isn't doing that not by a long shot," Dick said. "She's not keeping in the same place certainly," Billy agreed. "Caroline is all eaten up by this economic independence idea."
A good, stout, pliant cord is quite as necessary as a well-balanced top.

The end should be frayed and moistened to insure a firm grip when starting to wind.
But in her own home, to her husband, her children, Lady Selina was a very good sort of woman, devotedly attached to Carr Vipont, exaggerating his talents, thinking him the first man in England, careful of his honour, zealous for his interest, soothing in his cares, tender in his ailments; to her girls prudent and watchful, to her boys indulgent and caressing; minutely attentive to the education of the first, according to her high-bred ideas of education, and they really were "superior" girls, with much instruction and well-balanced minds, less authoritative with the last, because boys being not under her immediate control, her sense of responsibility allowed her to display more fondness and less dignity in her intercourse with them than with young ladies who must learn from her example, as well as her precepts, the patrician decorum which becomes the smooth result of impulse restrained and emotion checked: boys might make a noise in the world, girls should make none.
