When a man is just and firm in his purpose, The citizens burning to approve a wrong Or the frowning looks of a tyrant Do not shake his fixed mind, nor the Southwind.

Horace

Angelina, Alicia, and Katie suddenly giggled. What? said Wood, frowning at this lighthearted behavior. He's that tall, good-looking one, isn't he? said Angelina. Strong and silent, said Katie, and they started to giggle again. He's only silent because he's too thick to string two words together, said Fred impatiently.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.
