Hal drew up a footstool, and sat down with her head against the sofa. "What does the court physician say, Lorry? Of course he is generally fathering and brothering and mothering you as well as doctoring?" "Yes; he is taking care of me in a sort of all-round, comprehensive fashion. I don't know what I should do without him." "Do! ... "with a little laugh.
"Father and fathering are distinct things. Happy the man who combines them in his life happy, indeed." The afternoon was growing to a close. The sun sank into the western sea. The Elder, carried along by the awakened missionary spirit, continued his talk.

I rather resented the practice of fathering all flatness on my late protector, who was in his unhonoured grave; but as I had my way to make I found matter enough for complacency in being on a "staff." At the same time I was aware of my exposure to suspicion as a product of the old lowering system.
"For shame, gentlemen," he humorously cries to his enemies, "do not strike a dead man; beware, scribblers, of fathering your pasquinades against authority upon me; for seven years the True-Born Englishman is tied under sureties and penalties not to write." "To seven long years of silence I betake, Perhaps by then I may forget to speak."
