"She'll take care of you, while I get the rest of it." "But, oh! my dear man my pussy and and your wadded cloak and, oh my sable muff your poor papa's present, I would not lose it for a thousand pounds!" I found the muff, which could not easily be overlooked, for it was as big as a portmanteau, and stuffed full of sundries. "Oh dear yes, my dear, thank you, so it is; but the cat my poor pussy.
With great presence of mind I instantly put my muff in front of it and held it there tight, while I listened. Dead silence, except for the laboured breathing and struggles of the little girl. "I don't hear a sound," I whispered, letting her go again. "Now what did you want to say?" I added, eyeing her severely.
Edith had the most to bear, for although Fred was impressed by her kind and altered conduct, and could never forget the generous act of sacrifice when she parted with Muff to gratify him, he was as yet more actuated by impulse than principle, and nothing but principle, Christian principle I mean, will enable us to be kind and gentle, and unselfish habitually, not by fits and starts, but every day.
She is always cheerful, and keeps her class cheerful; she is always calling out with that silvery voice of hers, which makes her seem to be singing, and tapping her little rod on the table, and clapping her hands to impose silence; then, when they come out of school, she runs after one and another like a child, to bring them back into line: she pulls up the cape of one, and buttons the coat of another, so that they may not take cold; she follows them even into the street, in order that they may not fall to quarrelling; she beseeches the parents not to whip them at home; she brings lozenges to those who have coughs; she lends her muff to those who are cold; and she is continually tormented by the smallest children, who caress her and demand kisses, and pull at her veil and her mantle; but she lets them do it, and kisses them all with a smile, and returns home all rumpled and with her throat all bare, panting and happy, with her beautiful dimples and her red feather.
I wonder if he has any of his father's talent? Is it about him you want to consult me? Why, that's perfectly natural, now he's coming to an age to look to the future," Mr. Rushton said. "Oh, no! it is not about Jock. He is only sixteen, and, besides, it is something that is much more difficult," said Lucy. And then she paused, and cleared her throat, and put down her muff among Mr.
She read over more than once the letter which she had received from Jones; her muff too was used on this occasion; and she bathed both these, as well as herself, with her tears. In this situation the friendly Mrs Honour exerted her utmost abilities to comfort her afflicted mistress.

"Managing ships is not a romantic occupation," he rejoined. "Anyway, your welcome's kind and I feel shabby because I'm forced to bother you. But suppose some of your customers arrive?" "We shall not be disturbed," said Cartwright, smiling.
She won't be back till four. It's only a little after three." The Princess thrust her arm through her muff so that she could take both Mary's hands. She pressed them tightly, her fingers jerking as if by mechanism. "I've come I've got to throw myself on your mercy," she said. "Don't," Mary implored, "use such words to me. Oh, Marie, how strange how strange everything is!
"But young people don't feel draughts, and anyway, you can put your muff up between you and it if you do." "Mary has a travelling companion after her own heart," laughed Joyce to Betty, as they watched the old lady's bonnet bobbing an energetic accompaniment to her remarks. "She's always picking up acquaintances on the train.
Go back to your husband, wear your coronet and receive his guests with a free conscience. I forgive you." Her hand slipped back into her muff. She began to tremble a little.
