Could the Parisian resist the influence of treacherous insinuations, soft-spoken calumnies, slanders full of faint praise and artless denials, which should be made to circle incessantly about him and deceive him? When the four relations were left alone, Monsieur Grandet said to his nephew, "We must go to bed.
"There's a girl back yonder that you're smashed on," she said. He shook his head. "What ees eet to be smashed?" "Oh, I mean you're struck on her you're in love with her. It's that little soft-spoken, black-eyed chit." "You mean Señorita Garcia?" "Yes, that's the girl. You've followed her here all the way from Mexico." "Eet ees right. I have follaired her." "Now what do you propose to do?
He caught her hand and pressed his lips to it, resting himself against the horse, his arm thrown carelessly across Constance' knee. She deemed it an honour to be in such close proximity to the royal Duke, and grew red with his amorous glances and soft-spoken words and the familiarity of his arm upon her. "Indeed, it doth seem to me also like a very long time to wait," and she sighed heavily.
I again and again requested him to do his duty in some other capacity in the ship, but he steadily refused. The silky, soft-spoken, cockney-dialected Josh got me into continual hot water.

She made his blood pulse hotly with desire with her soft-spoken offer of self-surrender to the man who should lead her from her sovereignty over human beasts and set her feet in the high places of the earth. "And with these my treasures, I shall make my man a king in truth," she said, slipping along the couch toward him and laying both hands clasped on his arm.
He's silkier every time I see him." Bowers's memory lingered upon the soft-spoken interview with the great state leader. "Well?" Shelby jogged him crisply. "He knows all about Graves as he knows about everybody. Says he has met the scholar in politics before. Do you remember how he took care of that kid-gloved aggregation which tried to run him out of business a year or so ago?
I like him, and I always shall. He's such a gentleman, and always so soft-spoken. But I believe you like that clod-hopper Tom Fenton, ever so much better. I can't abide him." "There's a deal more of the feather than the stone about Robin Featherstone, lass. If he be a stone, he's a rolling one. Hasn't he been in three places since he came here?"
Moulton, a quiet, soft-spoken fellow, but a very demon in a fight, picked up his rifle and waved his hand to his wife and little girl and trotted in the opposite direction, calling back over his shoulder: "I'll go east, north and half-down the west side."
