"And now for your boar spears, gentlemen for Allegre, my pricker, hath harboured one that will try both dog and man. Dunois, lend me your spear take mine, it is too weighty for me; but when did you complain of such a fault in your lance? To horse to horse, gentlemen." And all the chase rode on. I will converse with unrespective boys And iron witted fools.
"And what do you say, Surendra Nath?" "The key, sahib," whispered the Babu in English; "what of the key?" "Speak in Urdu, Babu," said Desmond quickly. "Don't agree at once." Surendra Nath was quick witted; he perceived that Desmond did not wish the others to suspect that there had been any confidences between them. "I am a coward, the sahib knows," he said in Urdu.
The human sympathy of his new friends had warmed his heart. It chilled, as he thought of Fairview and what awaited him there, especially Aunt Lavinia. The quick witted equestrienne read his face like a book. "See here, boy," she said, laying her gloved hand winningly on Andy's sleeve, "what is your name?" and as Andy told her she added; "And what is your trouble?"
"The girl is as fleet as a hare and as wild witted," he said to himself. Then he flung Huguette from his thoughts and faced the great problem. "How does the balance go?" he asked himself, and he weighed the air with his hands as if their cups held the precious things he spoke of. "In the one hand, a great king's life; in the other, a poor poet's honour. King, beggar, beggar, king."
As with most wild creatures, the squirrels that live in touch with civilization are much keener witted than their wilderness brethren. The most interesting one I ever knew lived in the trees just outside my dormitory window, in a New England college town. He was the patriarch of a large family, and the greatest thief and rascal among them.
The canoe would upset at once if an attempt were made to drag it broadside out of the whirlpool. Clay comprehended this, and he was quick witted enough to solve the problem. Though his canoe was now verging on the trough of the whirlpool, he calmly tied the line around one blade of his paddle and pressed this with all his might against the big screw eye that was set in the bow of the canoe.
The driver of a mill-horse, he who never had the wit to make much less to invent a mouse-trap, will detect and point out his blunders. All satisfied? No; not one! Not a man that reads but will detail, reprove, and ridicule his dull witted errors. 'Well! he finds he is mistaken, he pants after improvement, and listens to advice. He follows it, alters, and again appears. What is his success?
What was more probable than that the daughter of the Senora, and the sister of Felipe, should be herself insane? Or, what more likely than that these ignorant and half- witted people should seek to manage an afflicted kinswoman by violence? But of one thing I was sure: I could not live in a house where such a thing was half conceivable, and not probe the matter home and, if necessary, interfere.
Radnor threw back his head and laughed. "You look as if you'd seen the ha'nt! There's nothing to be afraid of. He doesn't bite. The poor fellow's half witted at least in some respects; in others he's doubly witted." "Who is he?" I persisted. "Where did he come from?" "Oh, he's lived here all his life raised on the place. We're as fond of Mose as if he were a member of the family.
Volero was that night murdered, and it appears to me, that you are bringing this accusation against a young patrician, in order to conceal your own base handiwork in the deed. Fellows, I grievously suspect you." "Wrongfully, then, you do so," answered Stolo, who was the bolder and more ready witted of the two.
