That enigmatic and audacious Scarlet Pimpernel, alone and with thirty men at his heels, could not reasonably be expected to escape a second time. But he felt less sure now: the Englishman's audacity had baffled him once, whilst the wooden-headed stupidity of the soldiers, and the interference of a woman had turned his hand, which held all the trumps, into a losing one.
Much better. I think this no good. There is coming one big fight and I think much better we go stay Arta. Much better." " Oh, come off," said Coleman. And in clear language he began to labour with the man. " Look here, now, if you think you are engaged in steering a bunch of wooden-headed guys about the Acropolis, my dear partner of my joys and sorrows, you are extremely mistaken.
" No-she's too fine and too good-for him or anybody like him-she's too fine and too good-" " Aw, rats," interrupted Nora, furiously. "You make me tired." Coke had a wooden-headed conviction that he must make Nora understand Marjory's infinite superiority to all others of her sex, and so he passed into a pariegyric, each word of which was a hot coal to the girl addressed.
It is a piece of old furniture that has led me astray, and fancies gather, somehow, round old furniture, like moss around old stones. One's chairs and tables get to be almost part of one's life and to seem like quiet friends. What strange tales the wooden-headed old fellows could tell did they but choose to speak! At what unsuspected comedies and tragedies have they not assisted!
Yes, plenty of them, but she sends them all about their business, and seems to have no mind that way." "Perhaps she is in love with her cousin, that long-legged, strong-armed, wooden-headed Master Brome." "Oh! no, Senor, I don't think so; no lady could be in love with him he is too stern and silent." "I agree with you, Senora. Then perhaps he is in love with her."
He heard the light keeper laugh sardonically. "Ho, ho, ho," chuckled Hallett. "You're a slick article, ain't you, Raish? Why, you wooden-headed swab, did you cal'late you was the only one that had heard about the directors' meetin' over to the Denboro Trust Company yesterday?
Or if Aunt Martha suggested her unloved and neglected dolls, she would retire to the corner with them inevitably to come back in disgrace. Either the large wooden-headed doll came noisily down from the high-backed chair, where she had been placed as the Maid of Saragossa, or a suspicious smell of burning arose, when Joan of Arc really did take fire from the candle on her imaginary funeral-pile.
She wouldn't understand it any better if 'twas Scripture, and it saves brain work. The only satisfaction I get is bein' able to give my opinion of her and the grub without hurtin' her feelin's. If I called her a wooden-headed jumpin' jack she'd only smile and say No, she didn't think 'twas goin' to rain, or somethin' just as brilliant." "Well, why don't you give her her walkin' papers?"
Are sixteen hundred men still to bow down to a wooden-headed lord, as the people of Egypt used to do to their beasts, to their reptiles, and their ropes of onions? There must be something wrong something imperfect. What is it? What is wanting? Why, the Ballot! Sergeant Wilde was met on his entry into the town by almost the whole population. He was greeted everywhere, cheered everywhere.
"Is it not amazing that a woman who could think like that should be capable of flinging up her art the art which I gave her on account of the preaching of that wooden-headed Mostyn?"
