"I give you an hour from my treadmill," he declared brightly. "So many books, and such dry ones!" Hortense, who had been moping, brightened too. "I thought you had forgotten me," she said chidingly. Yet her tone had less acerbity than that which she had employed, but a few moments before, to address him in his absence.
"How came he in the small boat?" "Where are the rest?" "Now, now," said the veteran chidingly. "How can I tell? Would you have me kill the man with questions?" He left them to look at the body of the bo's'n's mate. Not a word had he to say when he returned.
As morning dawned, she returned home and found Zorrillo still awake. He enquired about her patient, and told her he had given the child something to drink while she was away. Flora could not help weeping bitterly again, and Zorrillo, noticing it, exclaimed chidingly: "Each has his own griefs to bear, it is not wise to take strangers' troubles so deeply to heart."
Falconer smilingly leaned forward and touched her lips to Amy's forehead. The caress was as light as thistle-down perhaps no warmer. "Three entire days!" she said chidingly. "It has been three months," and she searched through Amy's eyes onward along the tortuous little passages of her heart as a calm blue air might search the chambers of a cold beautiful sea-shell.
Magda went swiftly out of the room. She reached the hall by way of an unfrequented passage and slipped into the library closing the door behind her. "Antoine!" At the sound of her voice Davilof, who had been standing by the fire, wheeled round. "You!" he exclaimed violently. "You!" And then remained silent, staring at her.

"I don't believe that place is healthy," said Mrs. Benson, emphatically.
"Muta, she thinks a heap o' the ole man, ye see, an' she's always lookin' out that strangers don't mean 'im any harm." He placed both arms about the shaggy burro's neck. "You must be more polite, Muta," he said chidingly, while the little animal trust out her upper lip and nibbled at the large horn buttons on his dusty canvas coat. "Which way are you bound?" asked Hiram. "South now.

It's really very easy, and I don't do much except wear the gowns and speak a few lines." "You're one of the principals," her mother said, chidingly. "I suppose you're ambitious?" Pope put in. Again the mother answered. "Indeed she is, and she's bound to succeed.
"Yes," said this kindly old Spartan, "yes, they say I am rich, but if I didn't have a dollar, I would still be rich with a wife like that!" and he pointed to his partner of nearly half a century. Mrs. Oliver smiled and said chidingly, "Now, James!" But he continued, "I say, mother, if we did not have a dollar, we could still earn our living with our hands at just plain hard work, couldn't we?"
