"He was the only man ever caring for me that I never subjugated except Willy here " Her voice brightened, while she nodded, in her near-sighted way, at Mr. Henderson. "As for him, he's ruled me and browbeat me all his life." And Charlotte smiled contentedly at the minister.
"I'm going home because he won't marry me unless Father consents," she said, "and he doesn't seem to think a consent by wire is legal. But I'm coming back." "Well, I wish you good luck, I'm sure." Mrs. Van Zandt leaned over and kissed Polly impulsively. "He'll browbeat you a bit but he'll stick by you. Guess I'll make some more coffee," and she bounced into the kitchen. "Gracious!
"I'll ask her why she doesn't bump into Solomon Owl!" Mrs. Ladybug didn't seem to care for his suggestion. "What good would that do?" she inquired. "Ah!" he said. "Solomon Owl wouldn't let her browbeat him. He'd soon cure her of her rude pranks." "Then please speak to her, and to Solomon Owl at once that is, if you dare to," said Mrs. Ladybug.

Meantime, as the great queen was no more, who was always too sagacious to doubt that the Dutch cause was her own however disposed she might be to browbeat the Dutchmen it seemed possible to Spain that the republic might at last be deprived of its only remaining ally. Tassis was despatched as chief of a legation, precursory to a more stately embassy to be confided to the Duke of Frias.
"What a very devil incarnate the man must be!" muttered Dr. R to himself, taking three or four strides across the floor. "I shall have to take the little fellow home, and browbeat his master, I suppose," he continued. Then addressing Henry, he said, aloud "Well, I'll take you home to him in my carriage, and settle all that for you, my little man; so don't be frightened."
It is that of a gigantic young clergyman, who allows her to think that she has decoyed him to her room, but who really goes there to endeavor to turn her from her course of life. She scorns his exhortations, and attempts to browbeat him; but she finds him ready for a row upon the spot.
I know all about it; but I'll go with you and explain all these matters to our old mistress and my lady; for I've nursed you till I've brought you to this age, and now that you don't feed on milk, you thrust me on one side, and avail yourself of the servant-girls, in your wish to browbeat me."
