The older woman was touched by the slender little black figure, and badly shaken by the double tragedy, and she cried quite openly. Norma had Regina send her up some tea, and petted and fussed about her in her little daughterly way. "I saw about Miss Alice this morning, but I had no idea the poor old lady !" Mrs. Sheridan commented sadly.
"Dear Meg," Sir Thomas wrote for the last time, "I never liked your manner better towards me than when you kissed me last. For I like when daughterly love and dear charity hath no leisure to look to worldly courtesy." Next day he died cheerfully as he had lived. To the last he jested in his quaint fashion.
Do you think you could take in another Dad?" "I know I could," said Carlotta lifting her flower face to him for a daughterly kiss. "Come, come! Where do I come in on this deal? Where is my son, I'd like to know?" demanded Mr. Cressy. "Right here at your service darnfoolness and all," said Phil holding out his hand.
Guillaume, however, had the cruelty to insist on the point, like some heroic surgeon cutting into his own flesh even more than into that of others, in order that the truth might appear and everyone be saved.

Lydia had read of these in a magazine and had made them herself, and as her daughterly love swept over all the surface ugliness of his character, she alone among his children sometimes caught a glimpse of her father's heart.
We just put our heads together the whole of us that's all! Put our heads together! You know! As men will!" His stammering eagerness did not satisfy her feminine penetration. Her daughterly interest in the Senator's political standing was stirred as she reflected. "My father is down here to see that his fences are in good shape," she declared, with true Washington sapience.

Margot put up a tender hand, to straighten the cap on the poor, dishevelled head; and something in the simple, daughterly action seemed to reach the poor woman's heart, and bring with it the first touch of calmness.
