You will give us lunch. S." There was no word of endearment, none even of those ordinary words which people who hate each other use to one another. But he received the next day at home a much more kindly-written note from her: DEAR LORD SILVERBRIDGE, You are so good! You always do just what you think people will like best.
She tried, but could not answer, and simply leaned against him sobbing great silent sobs which shook her body and tore his soul with anguish. The love he had felt for her was slight to the passion now demanding utterance; yet his lips set resolutely to suppress any word of endearment.
He would address this deity in terms of strong endearment, magnify his or her powers, as the case may be, and belittle himself and his own worth. The result of such a mental discipline could not but react healthfully on the mind of the penitent. The penitent would arise from his prayer with a more spiritual conception of the relationship existing between himself and his god.
Mysy got me to write several letters for her to Cree, and she cried while telling me what to say. I never heard either of them use a term of endearment to the other, but all Mysy could tell me to put in writing was "Oh, my son Cree; oh, my beloved son; oh, I have no one but you; oh, thou God watch over my Cree!"

He soothed her with caresses and low-breathed words of endearment; of hope, too, that the separation might not be a long one. "What is it, Max?" whispered Lulu, "has papa got his orders?" "Yes; and has to be off in less than three days," replied Max, in husky tones, and hastily brushing away a tear. Lulu's eyes filled, but by a great effort she kept the tears from falling.
Of all the strange things that Graham came upon that night, none jarred more upon his habits of thought than this place. The spectacle of the little pink creatures, their feeble limbs swaying uncertainly in vague first movements, left alone, without embrace or endearment, was wholly repugnant to him. The attendant doctor was of a different opinion.
I became as anxious as a parlourmaid at a keyhole to know what Madame would have to say to this twenty-stone husband, and, what particular terms of endearment he would choose for his reply.
It wasn't that Cadman actually spoke words of pathos and endearment. Indeed, he might have said more, except that two white men are cruelly repressed from each other in fear of being sentimental. They are almost as willing to show fear as an emotion of delicacy or tenderness.
