They get quite big, too, just when you are going to sleep in the dark quite big, and they come very close to you and won't go away ... they rather frighten one...." And he suddenly clung to Trench with a close, nervous grip, like a boy in an extremity of fear. And it was in the tone of reassurance that a man might use to a boy that Trench replied, "It's all right, old man, it's all right."
His paleness shook her, and she raised a hand of reassurance. "Nothing has happened perhaps that is just the worst of it. You always HATED, you know," she added incoherently, "to have things happen: you never would let them." "And now ?" "Well, that was what she came here for: I supposed you had guessed. To know if anything had happened." "Had happened?" He gazed at her slowly.
Next morning she was singing as usual over her initialing. We went into town at eleven-thirty to look up table linen. Edith met us for lunch. She was going to present Ruth with all her lingerie. "After all," she said one day in way of reassurance to Ruth, "you would have been in a pretty mess if you'd married Breck Sewall.
He knew how the sap was sinking; that the growths of the year had now failed; presently all would be shrouded in snow, but only to rise again in the reassurance of vernal quickening, to glow anew in the fullness of bloom, to attain eventually the perfection of fruition.
With a little coaxing and reassurance, they persuaded her to lean on them and rise up, but the poor little face became distorted and the eyes closed languidly as if she suffered intensely. She stood bravely up however, but in a moment she tottered and sank back again.

Slowly and patiently they drew the story from the emissary from the seventh planet of 31 Brucker.

Such was his utter despair, that Albinia had no scruples in encouraging him, and assuring him with all her heart, that if taken rightly, the shock that brought him to his senses, might be the blessing of his life. He did not take comfort readily, though soothed by her kindness; he could not get over his excessive dread of his father, and each attempt at reassurance fell short.
In that war-heated time, there were good men who thought they read the purpose of the Almighty in removing the too kindly Lincoln, that the guilty rebels might be more severely scourged. The new President gave at once the best possible reassurance as to his general course by retaining all the members of Lincoln's Cabinet.
He fetched a bowl and set it on a chair by her side. He poured water into it from the kettle. She looked up at him rather apprehensively. "I needn't scald it, need I?" He smiled down at her in instant reassurance, a vivid smile that warmed her fear-chilled heart. His teeth were white and regular, like the teeth of a young wild animal. "There's some cold water somewhere, isn't there?" he said.
