Kinross. Or I might put my finger in my mouth and hang back a little time." "But you would accept him, Bee?" "Oh, of course," said Bee; "wouldn't you?" "I I suppose so," said Dora. Then both girls sighed. "I wish he hadn't started to go bald," Bee said pathetically. "I wish he hadn't started to grow stout," Dora added. Bee pulled herself together.
While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for.
'No, Archie, leave her alone; she's only a baby. Come along, old boy. Give Mr Cricker a cup of tea; he hasn't had one yet. Archie was devoted to Aylmer. Following him, he handed the tea to Mr Cricker, saying pathetically: 'I'm a blue-faced mandrill, and she knew it. I told her so. Aren't girls fools? They do worry! 'They are torments, said Aylmer.
He would endeavour to win her back to a saner, sweeter frame of mind, to make up to her by his unswerving patience and devotion for the misery she had endured; and he would relinquish, once for all, the hopeless mental attitude which had seemed to say that a life spent together must be impossible for both of them. After all, she was pathetically young and frail.
Meanwhile the two principals held the real centre of the stage. Betty Medill or was it Betty Parkhurst? storming furiously, was surrounded by the plainer girls the prettier ones were too busy talking about her to pay much attention to her and over on the other side of the hall stood the camel, still intact except for his headpiece, which dangled pathetically on his chest.

It is outrageous how they leap at an opportunity for scandal." "It will all be cleared up," I said, speaking with as much confidence as I had at my command.
It would have required no little "music" to soothe the "savage breast" of the aggrieved one; for as we are pathetically reminded by the old song "Christmas comes but once a-year," and so often, but no more, did we know that our chance of hearing this seductive harmony occurred. Hence our wrath, if through the neglect, the "breach of promise" of another, so solemnly pledged, we missed it.

"Miss Woodward," he said pathetically, "I'm afraid I've gone crazy. Do you see the same things I do?" Estelle nodded. Her eyes wide open. "What is the matter?" she asked helplessly. She turned again to the window.
"She is bashful." "What! My Doll bashful? That were hardly polite to thee, methinks." "Perchance I should have more success with thee?" pleaded Sir Henry, as pathetically as he could. "Let us withdraw into the bower, then," replied Sir George, "we can talk it over there, and we shall not be disturbed. Ha! here comes Lady Vernon, she will know what to do."
