I can take the child without a whimper from her, and you know it! So, why not be sensible and come along too, and look out for her yourself?" "You shall not take her!" Azalea looked like an angry tigress. "Gee! Wish I had you on the screen like that! You're some picture!" "Please, Mr. Merritt," Azalea tried coaxing again, "please believe me, I can't take Fleurette again. Her mother why, Mr.
Promise!" He looked at her keenly for a moment, met only the coaxing confidence of her eyes, and decided to ask no question. "My dear," he said, "as far as Bertrand is concerned, your Aunt Philippa and I have nothing to discuss." "That's all right," said Chris, with relief. "Trevor, you've done me a lot of good. You are quite the most comforting man I know.
The black phantom assumed the wheel without saying anything, steadied the waltzing steamer with a turn or two, and then stood at ease, coaxing her a little to this side and then to that, as gently and as sweetly as if the time had been noonday. When Ealer observed this marvel of steering, he wished he had not confessed! He stared, and wondered, and finally said
"No, no, Maggie," said Tom, in his most coaxing tone; "It's something you'll like ever so." He put his arm round her neck, and she put hers round his waist, and twined together in this way, they went upstairs. "I say, Magsie, you must not tell anybody, you know," said Tom, "else I shall get fifty lines."
Again Vincent tried coaxing and patting, but as no success attended these efforts, he again applied the spur sharply. This time the horse responded by springing forward like an arrow from a bow, dashed at the top of his speed across the inclosure, cleared the high fence without an effort, and then set off across the country.
The greenhouse is only used as a refuge, and kept at a temperature just above freezing, and is reserved entirely for such plants as cannot stand the very coldest part of the winter out of doors. I don't use it for growing anything, because I don't love things that will only bear the garden for three or four months in the year and require coaxing and petting for the rest of it.
The tone was so unusually coaxing, that Regina's suspicions were aroused. "I don't know where to find the key of the wine closet." "Then wake Octave, and tell him to give you some wine He keeps port and madeira for soups and sauces. You must I would do as much for you. I will go to Octave."
'Come, Miss Polly, says he, 'you can sing away fast enough for your dashed old father and some o' them swells from Bathurst. By George, you must tune your pipe a bit this time for Dan Moran. The poor girl said she couldn't sing just then, but she'd play as much as he liked. 'Yer'd better sing now, he drawls out, 'unless ye want me to come and make you. I know you girls wants coaxing sometimes.
One reads with indignation still hot how he brought the plain little Portuguese woman there for their honeymoon, and brightened it for her by thrusting upon her the intimacy of his mistress Lady Castlemaine; how he was firm for once in his yielding life, when he compelled Clarendon to the base office of coaxing and frightening the queen who had trusted the old man as a father; how, like the godless blackguard he was, the "merry monarch," swore "before Almighty God," in his letter to the chancellor, that he was "resolved to go through with this matter" of forcing his paramour upon his wife, with the added threat, "and whomsoever I find my Lady Castlemaine's enemy" in it, "I do promise upon my word to be his enemy as long as I live."
The French chorister was not daunted by the Lottchen, but, as my uncle maintained, sang his part, spectacles on nose, in the finest falsetto that ever proceeded forth from a human breast. She assumed airs of importance, required a good deal of coaxing, but at last consented, so that we came to have bravuras in our concerts. She was a singular creature this Miss Meibel.
