"What annoys me," said Kipling, speaking of his father one day, "is when the pater comes to America to have him referred to in the newspapers as 'the father of Rudyard Kipling. It is in India where they get the relation correct: there I am always 'the son of Lockwood Kipling." Father Kipling was, in every sense, a choice spirit: gentle, kindly, and of a most remarkably even temperament.
In the family, justice does not come in, the whole household being, in a sense, parts of the pater familias; and as you cannot be unjust to yourself, you cannot be unjust to your household. In the State, what is just is fixed partly by the nature of things, partly by law or convention.
Make yourself quite aisy on that score, and lave it all to me; only just say a pater now and then, that when St Peter lets you in, he mayn't throw it in your teeth, that you've saved your soul by contract, which is the only way by which emperors and kings ever get to heaven.
The girls had heard the boys who attended Salsette Academy mention that martinet, Major Pater. Although his infirmity or injury precluded his having anything to do with the drilling of the pupils of the academy, in the schoolroom he was the most stern of all the instructors at Salsette. "Oh, poor Tommy!" gasped Betty, wringing her hands. "Served him right," declared Louise.

"You'll have to; I will be the prompter." The prompter was dismissed, but the three actresses began to complain. "If we knew our parts as well as the 'pater noster' we should be certain to come to a dead stop if the prompter isn't in his box." "Very good," said I to the actress, who was to play Lindane, "I will occupy the box myself, but I shall see your drawers."
"I'll drop my old pater a line to-night, informing him that I'm financially ruined. Gee! that makes me think of that little runt, Cooper! He certainly irritated me some by his insolent yapping." "You came pretty near getting into trouble trying to coach Barville. You certainly had your nerve with you. I'd never had the crust to try that." Herbert frowned.
Civil what? Miriam groaned. She was a governess now. Someone would ask her that question. She would ask Pater before he went.... No, she would not. ... If only he would answer a question simply, and not with a superior air as if he had invented the thing he was telling about.
These ceremonial songs received a wanton and wild addition, as, in order, perhaps, more closely to represent and personify the motley march of the Liber Pater, the chorus-singers borrowed from the vine-browsing goat which they sacrificed the hides and horns, which furnished forth the merry mimicry of the satyr and the faun.
I think I will go and smoke a pipe with the pater. Shall you come and sit with us?" And a certain expression in his eyes that reminded her of his father in his most decisive moods told her he meant to say no more. She rose at once. She had failed, and she knew it, but she had not the smallest intention of giving in. She had started on the wrong tack, that was all.
