But now the good woman, whether moved by compassion, or by shame, or by whatever other motive, I cannot tell, first gave her servants a round scold for disobeying the orders which she had never given, and then bidding the drawer lay a napkin in the Sun, she set about the matter in good earnest, and soon accomplished it.
He thought there was something in her of the child that never grows up; the guilelessness, the charm, the ready tears and smiles, the quick changes of mood. He rolled an elbow-chair forward, and put her into it tenderly. "Say what you will," said John. "This is comfortable," she said, leaning her head wearily on her hand; "to talk to a a friend who understands, and who will not scold.
The wilderness was full of dangers, but when you are elder brother to the bear and the wildcat you learn their habits, and avoid or outwit them. Climbing over rocks and windfalls I came against a solid log wall and heard the woman talking in a very pretty chatter the other side of it. She only left off talking to call for help, and left off calling for help to scold and laugh again.
How glad I was you were here! I felt myself getting ruder and ruder." "You are not good at hiding your feelings," he returned dryly. "Oh, don't scold me I've had a horrid afternoon." She told him how she had taken the flowers to Mrs. McCormick, and how South Kensington impressed her as the preserve of officers' widows.
This passage having been successfully made, he felt that he was safe, and could afford to be saucy. He began the usual scold. Then I tossed a little stick up toward him, as a reminder that human power is not limited by the length of an arm, and he subsided.

All my poor cousin's bank-notes parted company from me within twenty-four hours after I got them." "I have played, like other gentlemen, but never to hurt myself, and never indeed caring much for the sport," remarked Mr. Warrington. "When we heard that my lord had played with Harry, we did so scold him," cried the ladies.
"Well, Walter," said he, "I feel, for the first time in these ten years, I have a right to scold you. What on earth could make you so inhospitable to your uncle's guest? You eyed the poor student, as if you wished him among the books of Alexandria!" "I would he were burnt with them!" answered Walter, sharply.
I wouldn't stand it if I was you. They've no right to order you about, and scold you as they do." The weak moments passed, and just then there was the doctor's cough heard, and the closing of his door, while directly after came the chiming of the church clock a quarter past eleven. Half an hour to wait and think, and then good-bye to all his troubles, and the beginning of a new life of freedom!
What would the countess have done had she not been able sometimes to scold the invalid for not strictly obeying the doctor's orders? "You'll never get well like that," she would say, forgetting her grief in her vexation, "if you won't obey the doctor and take your medicine at the right time!
I wish I could scare them to death, so they would treat their niggers like human beings." "Well, you've got her out of the way long enough to get Winnie's sacque out of sight before our Joe comes in, for he's so mighty careful for fear we'll get into trouble; I know he'd scold if he knew it." Strange position I was occupying, here among the most cruel of slave- holders.
