"Oh, well, if the little darlings are not accustomed to chivalry from men," Pete Murphy was in the meantime saying, "that explains why they stand us off." It was typical of Pete to refer to the flying-girls as "little darlings." The shortest among them was, of course, taller than he.
She did not love him, now, "next to father and mother dear darlings!" And when she said that, Edith knew that the "darlings" were of her past. "I love them next to Maurice," she thought, smiling faintly. "Well, he will never know it! Nobody will ever know it.... I'll just keep on loving him as long as I live."
They were pausing in their climb, and the little bright-eyed, warm-breasted creatures were hopping about them quite boldly. "Kitty, do let me give them some crumbs, they are such darlings, and I think they are quite glad to see us. They aren't a bit afraid." "'To see a robin in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage," quoted Kitty dreamily. Anna looked quite shocked. "O Kitty," she said, "how can you?
I'm sure Jill couldn't have known what a Greek god looked like, but I suppose she got the comparison out of some novel. Jill is always reading novels. She borrows them from the cook. Aunt Tommy laughed and said, "You darlings." For the next three months Jill and I were wild. It was just like reading a serial story to watch Dick and Aunt Tommy.
She laughed merrily. Then: "Why not Non-Stop?" "I know," I said. "I'll call him Upset." Three black and white urchins gambolled about us, flapping ears, wagging ridiculous tails, uncertainly stumbling about upon baby legs.

Here's the closet. Range, refrigerator, combination sink and laundry tub. Living room's all panelled in ivory. Shower in the bathroom. Buffet kitchen. Breakfast room has folding-leaf Italian table. Look at the chairs. Aren't they darlings! Built-in book shelves " "Oh, well, we can use them for fancy china and ornaments. Or oh, look! you could keep your stuff there. Tools and all.
There was an asylum for children suffering from incurable diseases in the smaller square beside our boarding-house, and every morning after breakfast, no matter how cold the day might be, I would open my window to hear the cheerful voices of the suffering darlings singing their hymn: "There's a Friend for little children, Above the bright blue sky."
She knew that Uncle Philip was not fond of "the darlings;" it was evident that good Miss Tudor, with her mild twaddle and eternal knitting, was not the attraction, so she was forced to believe that he came for her sake alone.
In the course of time, she became the wife of one worthy of her in every respect their lovely children often sportively carrying off the ponderous box of brown rappee, and yet Uncle Budge never frowning. These darlings cluster round my knees, and one, more demure than the rest, thoughtfully asks: 'Why is Uncle Budge's hair not snowy white, like yours, dear Deb?
If you feel, on reflection, that I should suit you, it will be, I am sure why should I not say so an auspicious day for those little ones."
