"Behave, Phelim oh oh Phelim, now there you've tuck it och, the curse o' the crows on you, see the way you have my hair down! There now, you broke my comb, too. Troth, you're a wild slip, Phelim. I hope you won't be goin' on this way wid the girls, when you get married." "Is it me you coaxer? No, faith, I'll wear a pair of winkers, for fraid o' lookin' at them at all!
That old pony had a sly, artful eye and a way of shaking his head that was tricky and try to catch him loose on the prairie with a bucket of oats as a coaxer! There were times on the trail when one could not see him moving except at close range. When he took such a spell, one of us drove while the other walked alongside, "persuading" him to keep ahead of the buggy.
He has persuaded his brother to fly with him and to go to a university. The one guardian is a narrow-minded tyrant, the other, Winckel's brother, a merchant, a frivolous coaxer. Erasmus resisted longer.
At ten o'clock we still had a good many melons; but toward noon business became very brisk, and at one o'clock only six melons were left. In honor of this crop we rechristened the old haymaker the "cantaloupe coaxer." There was so much to do at the old farm that we rarely found time to play games.
"I'm full of something too," announced Prue. "Aunt Prue, when am I going to Marjorie's school." "I have not decided, dear." "Won't you please decide now to let me go to-day?" she pleaded. Miss Prudence was sure she had never "spoiled" anybody, but she began to fear that this irresistible little coaxer might prove a notable exception. "I must think about it awhile, little one."
Engineer started to expostulate farther but the ominous click of a .38 Colt's was incentive enough to make him stop and then he shoved her over and gave her a little steam just a coaxer. "Here, you blasted chump, that won't do," and with that Brainerd reached over and yanked the throttle so that she bounded away like a hare; at the same time he gave her sand.
The second one was a coaxer, and he let that ball go by. The umpire called a ball. The third was a high one, but it looked good, and he tried for it. It proved to be a rise, and he struck under it at least a foot. Bob Collingwood was growing enthusiastic. "That Merriwell is full of tricks," he declared.
"What a little coaxer you are, Tom," said Miss Goldy-hair; but though Tom peeped up for a moment to see if she was vexed, it was plain she wasn't, for she made a nice place for his little round head on her knee, managing somehow to find room for Racey too, and not forgetting either to draw close to her a chair for me. "Now," she said, "we're very comfortable. Shall I tell you my little story?
"Oh, you dear little coaxer, you are enough to seduce an angel."
It was charmingly done, but the big brother was proof against her wiles. "You are a bewitching coaxer, sis," he answered, "but I am hard-hearted. I'll make a trade with you, though. First tell us all about your school-teaching and sing us all the songs I ask for, and then I'll open the box."
