"Well, he can afford it," said a man with a thin, care-taking visage, and a nervous, anxious twitch of the hand, as if it were his constant effort to hold on to something "he can afford it, for he makes money hand over hand. It is not every body can afford to do as he does."
He ate of Mother Allen's chicken-broth and of toast from Mattie's care-taking hand, and gradually assumed color and heart. His solemn eyes looked at the powerful young girl with an intensity which seemed to take her strength from her.
It seems more nearly true that many men came to the convention prepared to insist on a definite statement and that each thought himself the originator of the party policy. The ceremonies attendant upon the inauguration of William McKinley on March 4, 1897, were typical of the care-taking generalship of Mark Hanna.
Nor did Dame Kittridge bear the child the slightest ill-will, but she was one of those naturally care-taking people whom Providence seems to design to perform the picket duties for the rest of society, and who, therefore, challenge everybody and everything to stand and give an account of themselves.
Betty's mother had died before she could remember; the two who were left were most dependent upon each other. You will see how Betty came to have care-taking ways and how she had learned to think more than most girls about what it was best to do.

The homestead belonged to Lewis's father, and in the natural course of events was destined to become Lewis's property.
Parallel with the limb on which it rested, and only a few inches above it, was another branch, that must, one would think, be seriously in the way of the coming and going, the feeding and care-taking, inseparable from life in the nest. From my post of observation, the thorn-tree was silhouetted against the sky, for it stood on the edge of a slight descent.
A retreat! Heaven save and pardon us for making such homes part and parcel and a necessity of our century and our land! Our Rich Man's Wife never left it until she was borne forth into the securer refuge of the narrow house that needed none of her care-taking.
He sometimes appeared to think of death rather than the person who had died, and of love and grief rather than of those who felt their influence. His was the life of the poet first of all, and yet the tale of his sympathetic friendliness, and his generosities and care-taking for others will never be fully told.
