"Almost all men are of flesh and blood," said Merthyr softly. "I spoke of girls." "I speak of men." "Blunt witted that I am! Of course you did. But do not imagine that she is not happy with her husband. They are united firmly." "The better for her, and him, and me," said Merthyr. Laura twisted an end of her scarf with fretful fingers. "Carlo Albert has crossed the Ticino?"
This sudden and unexpected issue of new stock brought "Erie" down with a rush, and the sharp witted operators who had bought either at par or at a premium, solely to ruin their great rival, were ruined themselves, almost to a man. But a short while ago, a house in Wall Street, which had ventured too far in its speculations, failed. It settled its liabilities honestly, but had not a penny left.
She went through them all, from the feather in his hat to his hose. As for me, I must have seemed well nigh half witted, and I told her at last that I had no skill in such matters, but that I had ever seen him of an evening in a white mantle with a peaked hood. Hereupon the blood all left her face, and with it all her beauty.
We might get the company, and find out if any other messages have been received from her." "I never thought of that," exclaimed Mrs. Mellows. "You are quick witted, Dorothy, I will say that for you. Suppose you do find out." Dorothy turned to the telephone and made her inquiry. "There," she said at length, "I guessed it no messages at all; they are sure it's out of order.
"Her daughters are high-spirited, good-humoured, large-sized girls fresh, natural and charming. One of them has a fine face with eyes of blue, just like those Bradley liked to paint and the other two are good looking enough. They have, however, no conversation lots of talk and gossip; much of it, too, amusing and quick witted, but it wants thought.
He was a ready witted man, quick of apprehension, very learned, and of great judgment in the Latin and Greek tongues.

"I bought him from a bonder in Rathsdale, and the price I paid for him was two silver marks. It may be that he is some viking's son, I cannot tell. He is quick witted and very clever at all games, and that is why it pleases me to teach him many things." There was a look of doubt in Allogia's eyes, as though she knew that the steward was telling her but a half truth.
"Now, Ransom," said Case, still gravely, "you are a very clever fellow, and devilish near half witted; and you would allow such a man, whom you thus permitted to take himself in with you, one third or one fourth of the proceeds of the first year." "I would have no trouble about that," said Ransom, not quite feeling the force of Case's compliment.
He was nimbler witted than Pierre, though less valuable on a long stretch. I dreaded Leclerc, for he could not be trusted even for good sense, and I heartily wished him elsewhere. But Pierre came to the rescue; he called Leclerc boldly, and drew him to the meat caldron. I was satisfied. Three of us were working in unison, and we had worked together in this way before, and won.
Learn and lay to heart, my richly-gifted brethren, to be patient with all men, but especially to be patient with all stupid, slow- witted, ungifted, God-impoverished men. Do not add your insults and your ill-usage to the low estate of those on whom, in the meantime, God's hand lies so cold and so straitened.
