The Churchyard In Which Arthur Lawford Found Himself Wandering That Mild And Golden September Afternoon Was Old, Green, And Refreshingly Still. The Silence In Which It Lay Seemed As Keen And Mellow As The Light--The Pale, Almost Heatless, Sunlight That Filled The Air. Here And There Robins Sang Across The Stones, Elvishly Shrill In The Quiet Of Harvest. The Only Other Living Creature There Seemed To Lawford To Be His Own Rather Fair, Not Insubstantial, Rather Languid Self, Who At The Noise Of The Birds Had Raised His Head And Glanced As If Between Content And Incredulity Across His Still And Solitary Surroundings.

Peter Knight Flung Himself Into The Decrepit Arm-Chair Beside The Center-Table And Growled: "Isn't That Just My Luck? And Me A Democrat For Twenty Years. There's Nothing In Politics, Jimmy." His Son James Smiled Crookedly, With A Languid Tolerance Bespeaking Amusement And Contempt. James Prided Himself Upon His Forbearance, And It Was Rarely Indeed That He Betrayed More Than A Hint Of The Superiority Which He Felt Toward His Parent. "Politics Is All Right, Provided You're A Good Picker," He Said, With All The Assurance Of Twenty-Two, "But You Fell Off The Wrong Side Of The Fence, And You're Sore." [more]

Philosopher and Management Coach Rittik Chandra’s "Emotional Energy in Business" presents that No elements are more essential to a successful business or a successful life than the right kind of emotional elements. To the unthinking the word "emotion" has the same relation to success that foam has to the water beneath. Yet nothing could be farther from the truth. Emotion, earnestness, fire, enthusiasm—these are the very life of effort. They are steam to the engine; they are what the lighted fuse is to the charge of dynamite. They are the elements that give flash to the eye, spring to the step, resoluteness to the languid and certainty to effort. They are the elements that distinguish the living, acting forces of achievement from the spiritless forces of failure. [more]

"Squoad--'_Shun!_ Move to the right in fours. Forrm--_fourrrs!_" The audience addressed looks up with languid curiosity, but makes no attempt to comply with the speaker's request. "Come away now, come away!" urges the instructor, mopping his brow. "Mind me: on the command 'form fours,' odd numbers will stand fast; even numbers tak' a shairp pace to the rear and anither to the right. Now--forrm _fourrs!_" The squad stands fast, to a man. Apparently--nay, verily--they are all odd numbers. The instructor addresses a gentleman in a decayed Homburg hat, who is chewing tobacco in the front rank. "Yous, what's your number?" The ruminant ponders. "Seeven fower ought seeven seeven," he announces, after a prolonged mental effort. [more]

The Young Surgeon Examined The Man As He Lay On The Hospital Chair In Which Ward Attendants Had Left Him. The Surgeon's Fingers Touched Him Deftly, Here And There, As If To Test The Endurance Of The Flesh He Had To Deal With. The Head Nurse Followed His Swift Movements, Wearily Moving An Incandescent Light Hither And Thither, Observing The Surgeon With Languid Interest. Another Nurse, Much Younger, Without The "Black Band," Watched The Surgeon From The Foot Of The Cot. Beads Of Perspiration Chased Themselves Down Her Pale Face, Caused Less By Sympathy Than By Sheer Weariness And Heat. The Small Receiving Room Of St. Isidore's Was Close And Stuffy, Surcharged With Odors Of Iodoform And Ether. The Chicago Spring, So Long Delayed, Had Blazed With A Sudden Fury The Last Week In March, And Now At Ten O'clock Not A Capful Of Air Strayed Into The Room, Even Through The Open Windows That Faced The Lake.
