Then he resolutely put the thought out of his mind. "It is not Evelyn, but Maria," he said to himself, and shut his mouth hard. He resumed his attitude of obedience to duty, but one who is driven by duty alone almost involuntarily balks in spirit. Wollaston was conscious of balking, although he would not retreat.
When your horse balks, or is a little excited, if he wants to start quickly, or looks around and don't want to go, there is something wrong, and needs kind he treatment immediately. Caress him kindly, and if he don't understand at once what you want him to do he will not be so much excited as to jump and break things, and do everything wrong through fear.
Others merely "listed" the fields by first running a furrow with a shovel plow where each cotton or corn row was to be and filling it with a single furrow of a turn plow from either side; then when planting time approached they would break out the remaining balks with plows, turning the soil to the lists and broadening them into rounded plant beds.
"Yes, yes!" says he. "Not that I am afraid of that. I wish he would shoot me! I hope someone does! But I suppose I ought to beg her pardon." "In with you, then!" says I, leadin' him towards the door. With his hand on the knob he balks. "Oh, I can't!" says he. "I simply cannot trust myself. If I should try, if I should find myself close to her once more. McCabe, I I might do it all over again."
Fabbletown, bare village of the plain Babbletown, fair pillage of the vain . Hail! friends and fellow-citizens !" It was evident that I had borrowed somebody else's voice my own mother wouldn't have recognized it and a mighty poor show of a voice, too. It was like a race-horse that suddenly balks, and loses the race. I had put up heavy stakes on that voice, but I couldn't budge it.
Robert says he'll give him his instructions, and all that; but when it came to springin' the programme on Clifford he runs on a snag. Somewhere back of them squirrel teeth and under the soft hat there was a streak of mule. Cliffy balks at the whole business. He's a whole lot obliged, but he really don't care for comp'ny.
Then the heart resists it, because it balks the affections in denying substantive being to men and women. Nature is so pervaded with human life, that there is something of humanity in all, and in every particular. But this theory makes nature foreign to me, and does not account for that consanguinity which we acknowledge to it.
You will let me drop in some day when you've got your model here? Ger. Impossible. Wat. You don't mean ? Ger. I had no model. Wat. No model? Ha! ha! You must excuse me! Reasons. A little mystery enhances eh? is convenient too balks intrusion throws the drapery over the mignonette. I understand. That is a damper now! Ger. I am not fond of acting the showman. You must excuse me: I am busy. Wat.
Some of the names of the commonest animals are lost in the dimness of antiquity, such as fox, weasel, sheep, dog, and baboon. Of the origin of these we have forever lost the clew. With camel we can go no farther back than the Latin word camelus, and elephant balks us with the old Hindoo word eleph, which means an ox.
We find him sympathising with and mingling with and seeking to draw unto the way of his own life the poor, the outcast, the sinner, the same as the well-to-do and those of station and influence seeking to draw all through love and knowledge to the Father. There is a sense of justice and righteousness in his soul, however, that balks at oppression, injustice, and hypocrisy.
