It is quite true that a thresher is likely to be innocent of any adroit arithmetical cheating, but he is not the less likely to carry home his master’s corn in his shoes and pocket; a reaper is not given to writing begging-letters, but he is quite capable of cajoling the dairymaid into filling his small-beer bottle with ale.
It was a terrible sight, and one that Pierre could not forget. But Herzog, with his cajoling sweetness, protested against this exaggerated picture. Delarue had arrived during the dog-days a bad time. And then, it was necessary for the work to be carried on without delay. Besides, a few Moors, more or less what did it matter? Negroes, all but monkeys!
As to their being rendered liable by more knowledge to be caught by declaimers, projectors, and agitators, we may confidently ask, whether it be the natural effect of more knowledge and understanding to be less suspicious of cajoling professions, less discerning of what is practicable and impracticable, and more credulous to extravagant doctrines, and wild theories and schemes.
Early the next morning, after a good night's rest and plenty of water and feed, we found the hoss lying down. He'd get up and go about a little whenever we'd prod 'im, but he'd lie down whenever our backs was turned." "I've seen hosses like that," Cahews remarked, "and they might as well be shot." "That's exactly what Pa decided to do, after two weeks' nursing and cajoling," Henley laughed.
He interviewed important gentlemen, threatening some and cajoling others, but always getting the information that he desired. At two o'clock the following afternoon he stood on a certain corner near Madison Square, his suspicion almost proved, his investigation at an end. "Now for the big bluff!" Jim Farland said to himself.
Mary arose, dissatisfied, she knew not why, with the tone of cajoling kindness in which she had been addressed. But Mrs. Chester slept, and during the next ten minutes would not require her attendance. Isabel had been drooping like a strange bird, since she came to the Alms House, and Mary knew that it would cheer her to see her poor mother in that calm sleep.
When Di had gone upstairs, Ina said to Lulu in a manner of cajoling confidence: "Sister " she rarely called her that, "why did you and Di have the black bag?" So that after all it was a relief to Lulu to hear Dwight ask casually: "By the way, Lulu, haven't I got some mail somewhere about?" "There are two letters on the parlour table," Lulu answered. To Ina she added: "Let's go in the parlour."
On the towing-path came Frankl to meet her. He took her hand, holding his head sideward with a cajoling fondness, wearing the flowing caftan, and a velvet cap which widened out a-top, with puckers. "Well, sweetheart..." he said. "But, you know, I begged you not to use such words to me!" from her.
He 's nearly gone. What were you going to do when he went ?" "He 'd have dissolved in air, Roady I know. The spirits have told me." "Perhaps so." The voice of the scar-faced, mean-visaged Squint Rodaine was still honeyed, still cajoling. "Perhaps so but not at once. Is n't there a barrel of lime in the basement?" "Yes." "Come downstairs with me."
Marmozet was the sole occasion of my disappointment; that he acted from first to last with the most perfidious dissimulation, cajoling me with insinuating civilities, while he underhand employed all his art and influence to prejudice the ignorant manager against my performance; that nothing could equal his hypocrisy but his avarice, which engrossed the faculties of his soul so much, that he scrupled not to be guilty of the meanest practices to gratify that sordid appetite; that, in consequence of this disposition, he had prostituted his honour in betraying my inexperience, and in undermining the interest of another author of established reputation, who had also offered a tragedy to the stage, which he thought would interfere with the success of the comedy he had bought, and determined to bring on at all events.
