You won't go away any more will you, Ellen?" "No no, sister, I won't leave you again," said Ellen, soothingly, her tears starting afresh.

The tone was crafty.
"Affected creatures, what are they to me?" He was right she had to confess it in her heart he had never taken any notice of the young girls who lived in the villas around him. She knew very well that he preferred them to them all, and her vanity felt flattered; she said soothingly, but at the same time evasively: "No, Wölfchen, you can't go with me any more, it's not proper any more."
"I don't know how to thank you," said Polly out in the wide hall, where he hurried to meet her, as she ran downstairs with her plainest walking things on, "for I don't believe they would have let me go.
