He has to coax you to stand by him, to protect him from poor little me. He's a great big " "Calf," broke in Bob Holliday, with a laugh. "You'd better be careful," said Pewee to Jack, rising to his feet. "I stand by Riley." "Will you defend him if I hit him?" "Yes." "Well, then, I won't hit him. But you don't mean that he is to abuse me, while I am not allowed to answer back a word?"
Every time he's had a chance he's tossed a few sneers in my direction, so I made up my mind the other day I'd coax him down to the foundry and throw the anvil at him. If ever I do cut loose on that Birmingham gent he'll think he has swallowed one of his own harpoons. He's a case of Perpetual Grouch because it gets the dough for him on pay-day.
"I'm rather sorry for that little Gregg. She doesn't look happy." "Say!" chuckled Heavy. "She tried for an hour yesterday to coax electricity into the bulb over her table, and then went to Miss Scrimp and asked for a candle. And at that," finished Heavy, grinning broadly, "I'm not sure that she understood how the 'juice' was turned on. She must have come from the backwoods." "Hush!" begged Ruth.
"I shall have to tell some sad stories to my cousins, and coax them a great deal. Still, I daresay I shall succeed; and then you can go boldly across the bridge, and into the railway station, and take a ticket for Wiesbaden. You can have an envelope, ready directed, and put the papers into the post there." "The very thing, Christine. You are a darling!"
And, unlike other races, the Germans would always remain, as they are to-day, UNITED. This is the explanation of their World Power." Anderson stopped as if waiting for a comment. "It all sounds well and is a beautiful way to do it, but how is it practicable?" asked Gard, who had listened attentively, impressed. "How are you going to coax the Germans to enter into this?
He is either determined to annoy me, or that I shall pat him on the shoulder and coax him to stay. I don't think I ought to do it. I will not do it. I will take him at his word." So he did.
What does it matter his being dead? I love him too well to be wife to any living man. They persuade me, they coax me, they pull me, they push me. I see they will make me. But I will outwit them. See see!" and she held up a little phial in the moonlight. "This shall cut the knot for me; this shall keep me true to my Christie, and save me from breaking promises I ought never to have made.
Lucas paid us brief visits; he generally came down on Saturday evening and remained until Monday. Miss Ruth could never coax him to stay longer; I think his business distracted him, and kept his trouble at bay. In this quiet place he would have grown restless. He had bought the Brambles to please his wife, and she, and not Miss Ruth, had furnished it.
Avenel was not yet returned from some fine lady's ball, he formed a sudden resolution of cutting Parliament, Fashion, and London altogether; withdrew his capital, now very large, from his business; bought the remaining estates of Squire Thornhill; and his chief object of ambition is in endeavouring to coax or bully out of their holdings all the small freeholders round, who had subdivided amongst them, into poles and furlongs, the fated inheritance of Randal Leslie.
"Why, Flossy Flouncy!" cried King; "you couldn't go coasting! I don't believe you've ever tried it!" "I never did but once," said Delight, "and then the hill wasn't very good, but it was fun. I'd love to go on a hill like that." "Would your mother let you?" said Marjorie doubtfully. "No, I don't believe she would. But I'd coax her till she had to." "That's right," said King.
