And here I strictly forbid all male critics to intermeddle with a circumstance which I have recounted only for the sake of the ladies, and upon which they only are at liberty to comment. A picture of formal courtship in miniature, as it always ought to be drawn, and a scene of a tenderer kind painted at full length.
One would have thought there were ties of blood between these two, so dependent were they on one another. "How's the old man?" was Pelle's first question on entering; and Brun could not have followed Pelle's movements with tenderer admiration in his old days if he had been his father. While Pelle was away the old man went about as if he were always looking for something.
They had enough venison in their knapsacks to last a day or two, but he believed that Paul would need better and tenderer food. The question, however, must wait a while. The day was now almost gone. Great shadows hovered over the eastern forest, and in the west the sun glowed in its deepest red as it prepared to go. Henry put his hand upon Paul's forehead again.
So there was just a hand-clasp and one long deep look between them that was tenderer than any kiss and more eloquent than any words. "I will come back when I am twenty-one," said Marcella. And I saw Richard Barry smile. So Marcella went away and in all Bridgeport there were only two people who believed she would ever return.
And this you must do simply, unreproachfully, affectionately; without rancour, and if possible when you and he are alone." "Not so, my child; thou art injuring thyself, my child." Can all antiquity show anything tenderer than this, or anything more close to the spirit of Christian teaching than these nine rules?

Perhaps it was not in her to love any one. Perhaps she should live on and on like her aunt Forsythe. Well, it was over; and Margaret roused herself as her aunt entered the room. "Has Mr. Lyon been here?"
Was it indeed true that sentiment, the emotions, the tenderer things of life, a woman's immeasurable inheritance must all these things go also into the discards of the world's vast bloody bargain counter? She remembered Annie's rude but well-meant words, back there where they once crudely struggled with these great questions. "What's the use of trying to change the world, Sis?" she had said.
Morsfield looked a willingness to do the deed he might have to pay for in tenderer places than the pocket, and named the head as a seat of poverty with him. Cumnock then yawned a town fop's advice to a hustling street passenger to apologize for his rudeness before it was too late.
Perhaps there is another Cullingworth behind the scenes a softer, tenderer man, who can love and invite love. If there is, I have never got near him. And yet I may only have been tapping at the shell. Who knows? For that matter, it is likely enough that he has never got at the real Johnnie Munro.
The fields are still green, and the great masses of the woods have not yet assumed their many-colored garments; but here and there are solitary oaks of deep, substantial red, or maples of a more brilliant hue, or chestnuts either yellow or of a tenderer green than in summer. Some trees seem to return to their hue of May or early June before they put on the brighter autumnal tints.
