He pronounced a stern reproof, and then impressed on her the idea of the great sin she had committed, and in the good old ecclesiastical style admonished her to say her prayers and read her Bible night and morning, and if she did that there might yet be hope for pardon. The girl did not think the prescription comforting enough, so after a few days' misery she asked for Mr Burnside.
Either to invent or to discover some kind of a mutual friend or acquaintance was a task to which he felt himself fully equal, and with this comforting reflection uppermost in his mind, Hayden finally composed himself to slumber. Only, and this was his last conscious thought, he did wish she had looked happier.
Lady Feng, we will now go on to explain, was engaged in comforting P'ing Erh, when upon unawares perceiving the young ladies enter the room, she hastened to make them sit down while P'ing Erh poured the tea. "So many of you come to-day," lady Feng smiled, "that it looks as if you'd been asked to come by invitation." T'an Ch'un was the first to speak.
It was, after all, Insall's dominant, too. Insall had asked her to call again; and the reflection that she might do so was curiously comforting. The soup kitchen in the loft, with these two presiding over it, took on something of the aspect of a sanctuary....

So he ended by sitting miserably down on the floor beside her, and waiting the interminable hours that the time seemed until the others returned. He had expected Mrs. O'Mara to reproach him, as Pennington had, as being the person to blame for Marjorie's state. But the dear soul, comforting as always, said nothing of the sort.
"Strange is it not? that of the myriads who, Before us passed the door of darkness thru, Not one returns, to tell us of the road, Which to discover, we must travel too?" And yet this faith is one of the most comforting and inspiring of all the objects of faith known to man.
But when she came to reflect that, after all, this was not a lady, and that she appeared by her own account to be the victim of affection and frailty rather than of vice, she made some excuses; and then the girl had laid aside her trouble, her despair, and given her sorrowful mind to nursing and comforting Sir Charles.
At first I was suspicious of this new-found and apparently permanent ease of expression so suspicious that I set about diagnosing my symptoms. My self-examination convinced me that I was, in fact, quite normal. Further, after a prolonged period of composition, I experienced a comforting sense of exhaustion which I had not known while elated.

All great things grow noiselessly. You can see a mushroom grow, but never a child. Paul said for the comforting of all slowly perfecting souls that they grew "from character to character."
