The light, cool touch of her' hand soothed and controlled Griffith from the first, and when she put forth all her powers of reasoning, and set his trouble before him in a more practical and less headlong way, not a word was lost upon him.
Little Daisy felt frightened in Jasmine's presence she did not quite believe that mother would never come back, and she clung to Primrose, who protected and soothed her; in short, took a mother's place to her, and felt herself several years older on the spot. For a month the girls grieved and shut themselves away from their neighbors, and refused to go out, or to be in any measure comforted.
Do I look like a woman who would go wrong?" "Sure you don't, honey!" Mrs. Corbett soothed her, "but you know Rance Belmont is so smooth-tongued and has such a way with him that all men hate him, and the women like him too well. But what are you goin' to do, dear? Sure you can't leave your man." "I have left him," said Evelyn. "I am going to Brandon now to-night in time for the early train.
"Perhaps she is only sick, and needs home care," Douglas soothed, though in his heart he well knew it was worse than that. Joe made no reply, but sat very still looking straight before him.

He had come after all! Relief crumpled her up in his arms. "Daddy air dead," she whispered. "Yes, dear," soothed Young. "There, lean your head on my shoulder, poor little broken baby." His tones were so tender, so soft! They went to the heart of the stricken dwarf, and like a hurt child he burst into tears. Professor Young turned and looked at him. "Don't do that," he said huskily.
His splendid physique appealed to her with a power she could not resist. He dominated her by his indifference as well as by his passion. He fascinated her by his wealth, and by his almost Jewish faculty of acquiring. His irony whipped her, his contempt of morality answered to her contempt. His complete knowledge of what she was warmed, soothed, reposed her.
I went with him, as when I am about I generally manage to absorb most of his anger, but after a few outbursts my mother soothed him, and in the end he even gave a grim sort of smile when I said that unless he had saved the Professor there would have been no bother about his son.
