Ruby was quite willing to go into the house, for she was sure that by this time Aunt Emma would have emptied her trunk, and she might write her letter home. "I was just coning to look for you, Ruby dear," said Aunt Emma, as her little niece opened the door. "You can write to your mamma now, if you like, and you will just have time to write a nice long letter before it is supper-time."
She remembered how, she had opposed his coning. But honesty as well as something else prompted her to say: "It was my father who invited you." Stephen did not reveal the shock his vanity had received. "At least you were good enough to dance with me." "I could scarcely refuse a guest," she replied. He held up his head.
That was just the way he said it, deep an' hoarse an' coning between his set teeth; an' I felt the hair raisin' on my head. He looked like a lost soul, an' the whites of his eyes showed in ghastly rings around the pupils. "You take this rubbish, Happy," sez he, turnin' on me.

Mark me, Richard," he said, a restless gleam coning into his dark eyes, "stirring times are here, and a chance for all of us to make a name." For so it seemed ever to be with him. "They are black times, I fear," I answered. "Black!" he said. "No, glorious is your word. And we are to have an upheaval to throw many of us to the top."
Then he wondered that he had put enough on to induce Sponge to sell him: that rather puzzled him. He lay a long time tossing, and proing and coning, without being able to arrive at any satisfactory solution of the matter.
Coning to my office, two or three mornings ago, I found Mrs. , the mother of Mr. , the insane young man of whom I had taken charge.
