"I don't see why I shouldn't trust him, do you?" Henrietta enquired of Isabel. "I don't see what Mr. Bantling could do to you," Isabel obligingly answered; "but, if you like, we'll walk with you till you find your cab." "Never mind; we'll go alone.

Coming on deck one day, he found her again seated in his steamer-chair. This time she made no pretense of rising, but obligingly made a place for him on the foot-rest.

"I wanted to tell you that I've put you on the program for a song at the concert to-morrow night."
Cora obligingly let down her pretty hair, and then, by means of the new hairpins, she put it up again, in the latest "flat" mode, which, with its rather severe lines, is far from becoming to the average face. But, as it happened, Cora's face was not the average, and the different style was distinctly becoming to her. "Oh, isn't it simple when you're shown?" cried Bess.
The other wonders were none of them inexhaustible.

'Won't you take some more mushrooms, Mahoudeau? obligingly interrupted Henriette.
This suggestion, in itself so natural, was adopted, and as Connor felt, with a peculiar acuteness, the pain of the situation in which he was! placed, he manifested little tendency to conversation, and the evening consequently passed heavily and in silence. Dusk, however, arrived, and Bartle prepared himself to execute the somewhat difficult commission he had so obligingly undertaken.
Chubbuck, deposited them in the Sierra Flat post-office, and obligingly consented to dictate the replies. The simple faith and unaffected delight with which these manifestations were received by the poet and his patron might have touched the hearts of these grim masters of irony, but for the sudden and equal development in both of the variety of weak natures.

Old Soldier can discern a grade of five feet to the mile of either. He accommodates himself most obligingly to his mistress's whims, and walks carefully most of the time, except when he is ambitious of great praise at little cost, when he makes the charges aforesaid.
