And then just before I left we came away mighty unexpectedly Katy Stutz " "Katy Stutz " "Yes, came to sew for a family I had boarding with me, and she said she heard you had left him for good and that your parents took sides with your husband and had him in their home, occupying your very room, and that your mother was as fussy over him as she ever was over you, babying him to death.
They'll make a better job out of you than ever I can. I want you to get the yellow streak washed out. I want you to get to be all the things he said you would. For every line he was talking up there, I could see my boy coming home to me some day better than anything I could make out of him, babying him the way I can't help doing.
The Bird Woman didn't want me to try following a path that I'd been over only once, but I was sure I could do it, and I'm rather proud of the performance. Now, don't go babying! You know I'm not afraid!" "No," said Freckles gently, "I know you're not; but that has nothing to do with the fact that your friends are afraid for you.
Clearances means the removal of all obstructions between the players and the ducks. Sneaking means shooting for a position. Babying is shooting so as not to send the taw too far. Good players often do this so as to secure a position from which they can "skin the ring."
Brother Bart is a regular old softy about Freddy. He took him when he was a little kid and keeps babying him yet." "He is good to him, you mean?" asked the other, eagerly. "Good? Well, I suppose you'd call it good. I couldn't stand any such fussing. Why, when Fred got a tumble in the gym the other day the old man almost had a fit!" "A tumble, a fall; did it hurt him much?"
"Peters, our captain, was a splendid fellow and a 'dead game sport. It seemed to him a little like 'babying' to fritter away the few minutes remaining in safety play. The more generous instinct prevailed, and he 'took a chance. He shot the ball back to the quarter. He in turn passed it to the back, who got in a perfect kick that sent it far down the field and close to the enemy's goal.
His wife was bathing his head with hands that trembled. Not always had she greeted his indiscretions with such loving forbearance. He noticed, though his waking faculties were not over-keen, that her face was pale and frightened, and that her eyes, meeting his, held a dumb, measureless affection. "What th’ hell are you babying me for?" But his roughness did not deceive her woman’s wits.
The other B.'s were proud of Billy. T.O. was as small and thin as Billy, but no one thought of taking care of T.O. or babying her. Instead, T.O. the Talentless One took care of them all. She had always been a toiler, always been alone, and to the rest it was comparatively a new experience. T.O., as she herself said, was able to give them all "points."
"I'll admit you did the square thing and was a man last summer, though I'd liked it better if you'd faced up and told me you were promised; but to come back here babying, and take hold of Elnora like that, and talk that way because you have had a fuss with your girl, I don't tolerate. Split that kindling and I'll get your supper, and then you better go.
He wanted something for Istra at dinner "a s'prise," he whispered under his breath, with fond babying.
