I woke the next morning, saying, "I must keep out of this," and I knew that I had said it in my slumber. It is pitiful that a man should be so infirm of will that he need cosset his resolution in this fashion, and I kicked the dogs from the door of my cabin, and went out to meet the world in a bad humor. It was a still world in the great sky and water spaces, but a noisy one upon the shore.
And as there is nothing like the use of such care and such flexible and uncertain kindness, when it is not calculated, for tantalising a young man who is agreeably in love with a young girl, Sally had a new delight, a new self-flattery, to cosset.
We will play you are an exile." "Well." "She had no clear idea of an exile, nor of a cosset; but she had faith in Bertie, and she felt that an exile must be something very nice." "You are an exile," said Charley, "because you cannot go into Grandma's house." "Am I, Bertie?" "Yes, dear." It was true. She could not go into Grandma's house. She had to choose between Grandma and the perfumery.
"Nay, Martin," says she softly. "I would have you forget my sex sometimes!" "'Twere a thing impossible!" says I, whereat she, stealing a glance at me, flushed all the hotter. "Why then," says she, "You must not coddle and cosset me because I am a woman " "Never," quoth I, "'tis not my nature to do so." "And yet you do, Martin." "As how?"

This girl, a native of Aprey, named Manette Sejournant, was not, strictly speaking, a beauty, but she had magnificent blonde hair, gray, caressing eyes, and a silvery, musical voice. Well built, supple as an adder, modest and prudish in mien, she knew how to wait upon and cosset her master, accustoming him by imperceptible degrees to prefer the cuisine of the chateau to that of the wine-shops.
"You'll find tea in the housekeeper's room, Mr. Thrush, as usual," said Rosamund. "And very kind of you to have it there, I'm sure, ma'am!" the old gentleman gallantly replied as he made his wavering adieux. At the door he turned round to face the nursery once more, lifted one hand in a manner almost apostolic, and uttered the final warning "Never cosset!"
An undeniable aggravation of the natural tendency to caress and cosset such products of the writer's literary industry as have met with special favor.
But, afore I'D take advantage of a lazy, gawky boy for it ain't anything else, though he's good meanin' enough that happened to fall sick in MY house, and coax and cosset him, and wrap him in white cotton, and mother him, and sister him, and Aunt Sukey him, and almost dry-nuss him gin'rally, jist to get him sweet on me and on mine, and take the inside track of others I'D be an Injin!
