"Suppose you draft Bob White to do the paddling, Thad; he just dotes on that sort of thing, you know." The eyes of the Southern boy gleamed with delight. "I surely do the same, suh; and if so be you think to take me along on the exploring expedition I'll be proud to accompany you. Depend on me to do the work, and glad of the chance.
They like her whimsically, if you will, and somewhat as a virtuoso dotes upon his cabinet. Her attraction is romantic in the narrowest meaning of the term. Beautiful as she is, she is not so much beautiful as interesting. She is preeminently Gothic, and all the more so since she has set herself off with some Greek airs, and erected classic temples on her crags.
He, they say, perfectly dotes on the Mukaukas' son, and for his sake who knows? Paula as his betrothed." "His betrothed?" "He called her by that name before the judges, and congratulated himself on his promised bride." "Paula and Orion!" cried Pulcheria, jubilant in the midst of her tears, and clapping her hands for joy. "A pair indeed!" said the old man. "You may well rejoice, my girl!
"Yes, but I've a little buck-goat, and when I send him away and say to him, 'Go, bring me the pretty youth hither whom my lady dotes upon; so true as I came out of that well, my little buck-goat will bring the young man hither though he were even on the Turkish borders." Michal began to grow frightened. "Hither he shall not bring him," cried she.
It is all due to my father. I have forgotten the prophet preaching on the hillside who denounced respectability as a low passion. But my father, while deeply religious, has views more advanced. He dotes on respectability. He tried to instil it into me and, alas! how vainly! I was as the blind, the light was withheld and continued to be until, well, until a miracle occurred.
"Oh, Mr. Trevlyn, it is just like a novel!" she exclaimed, enthusiastically. "Only you cannot marry the heroine, for she is engaged to Mr. Linmere; and she perfectly dotes on him." She flitted away, and Trevlyn went up to his chamber. That evening there was a "hop" at the hotel, but Arch did not go down.
Deliro's wife, and idol; a proud mincing peat, and as perverse as he is officious. She dotes as perfectly upon the courtier, as her husband doth on her, and only wants the face to be dishonest. Saviolina. A court-lady, whose weightiest praise is a light wit, admired by herself, and one more, her servant Brisk. Sordido.
Tom loves nice tender buffler steak best, an' I'm goin' to have it ready fur him, while Sol dotes most on fat juicy wild turkey, an' that'll be waitin' fur him, too." He turned to his stores, and producing the delicacies his comrades loved began to fry them over the coals. The pleasant odors filled their rocky home. "I give them two a half hour more," he said.
"But, as I before told you, if you want to make all secure, get hold of the son of old Ludlow. He dotes on the boy, and you would have the father in your power, if you could get hold of the son." "So we should, long ago, if it hadn't been for blind Peter; howsomedever, we can keep him quiet for some time."
But by the living jingo!" and the Baron clinched a good-sized and very sinewy fist, which he brought down hard on the table "by the living jingo, they'll find they can't come it over me! No, Sir!" "Is she fond of you Miss Fay, I mean?" "Fond! Course she is. She dotes on me." "Are you sure?" "Sure! As sure as I am of my own existence. Why, the way she looks at me is enough!
