"Oh! it's good enough," replied the man, noticing the boy's embarrassment, and trying to reassure him, "it's plenty good enough, but it's red you see, and red won't do. Here, I have a white one. This is just the thing," he added, tearing his own handkerchief into strips and binding them carefully about the wounded hand. "There!" giving the bandage a final adjustment; "that will be better for it.
"Of course it's a bit rough and all that," Clay would say, "but they have only to tell us what they want changed and we can have it ready for them in an hour." "Oh, my sisters are all right," Langham would reassure him; "they'll think it's fine. It will be like camping-out to them, or a picnic. They'll understand."
"I have come to represent to your imperial majesty the critical situation in which our affairs are at present. You know our reliance on you. We venture to flatter ourselves that you will avert the storm, and reassure us as to our fears of having lost your friendship."
Madge leaned over the opening of the cave, to reassure her friends before she crawled into it again. "It's all right!" she cried softly. "I saw no one, heard nothing. We can get away, without any trouble, in another hour." She crouched down to slip into the place of concealment. At the same instant the three girls heard a noise.

"You should have seen my attic in Paris, Mary absolutely falling to pieces but then I didn't mind, not having a goddess to house," and he pressed her arm.

But she was quick to reassure him, her courage mounting to sustain his.
"Marry early in life, my dear Charles," she would say, "but marry a woman worthy of you." In her solicitude my mother foresaw the difficulty of the task she had set before me. She had known and admired me from childhood, and of course appreciated my worth. I remember her sad but affectionate gaze as she spoke, and I, unconscious of the future, smiled to reassure her.
"Let's burn down the old mill. There's wood enough in it." "Ay," said another, "wood enough for a hundred fires." A shout of applause greeted this proposal, but the hearers above felt their hearts quail with horror. Talbot laid her hand on Brooke's arm. Brooke, to reassure her, took her hand in his and pressed it gently, and felt it cold and tremulous.
He found himself smiling at his frightened little companion, backed there against the door, white as death. His calmness did not reassure her. "He said you were a spy," she repeated, as if he must understand what that meant. "They wanted to follow you to Brokaw's cabin and and kill you!" This was coming to the bottom of her fear with a vengeance.
