Handsomebody that would have made him hesitate to leave three stirring boys under her entire control. Possibly he forgot that he had had his parents, and a doting aunt or two, to pad the angularities of Mrs. Handsomebody's rule, and to say whether or not her limber cane should seek his plumpest and most tender parts. Then, too, at that period, Mrs. Handsomebody was still unmarried.
She had imbibed an idea, strengthened by an old doting father-confessor, that the Saxons were heathens at that time, or at least heretics, and made a positive point with her husband that the bondswoman and girl who were to attend on her person and that of her daughter, should be qualified for the office by being anew admitted into the Christian Church by baptism.
"Away, I am no graybeard whom the approach of death makes doting: talk not to inc of the stars; I know only the things that my eye sees and my ear drinks in." "Hush," said Morven, solemnly, and covering his face; "hush! lest the heavens avenge thy rashness. But, behold, the stars have given unto me to pierce the secret hearts of others; and I can tell thee the thoughts of thine."
I shouldn't wonder," he added, with a laugh, "although she always declares she isn't one of those 'doting, idiotic mothers, that she found it a little dull without the boy, for all she thought it was better for ME to take him somewhere for a change of air." The situation was becoming more difficult for Mrs. Horncastle than she had conceived.
He might say doubtful things to Joseph Ford's ear now and again, but nought the policeman could fairly quarrel with, because both Joseph and Minnie, his wife, owed Teddy a bit by now, and, doting on their little son as they did, felt a bit weak to the man in that quarter. Their only child was six years old, and the amazing beauty of young Joey Ford made him many friends beside Mr. Pegram.
"If he shouldn't like his son's marriage, he might make things uncomfortable." "Why shouldn't he like my Jean?" "He probably will. But there's always the chance that he may not. He may be more ambitious." Dr. McKenzie ran his fingers through his crinkled hair. "She's good enough for a king." "You think that, naturally, but he isn't the doting father of an only daughter."
He was a very impetuous young man, a very selfish and unstable young man, with whom, all his life, to wish was to have. He had been spoiled by a doting mother from his cradle, spoiled by obsequious servants, spoiled by Inez Catheron's boundless worship. And he wished for this "rose of the rose-bud garden of girls" as he had never wished for anything in his two-and-twenty years of life.
'It is too bad, when I only wanted to mystify my father. 'It serves you right for playing tricks. What have you been doing to him, Louis? You will turn him into a doting father before long. 'What have you done with Clara? 'She goes every day to read Italian with Miss Conway, and the governess is so kind as to give her drawing lessons.
Love of eating is, indeed, quite the commonest form of obsession, and one that develops soonest. Nine out of ten children particularly present-day children, whose doting parents encourage their every desire are fonder of cramming their bellies than of playing cricket or skipping; games soon weary them, but buns and chocolates never. The truth is, buns and chocolate have obsessed them.
They carried her into the saloon and laying her beside Kemerezzeman, uncovered both their faces, and behold, they were the likest of all folk, one to the other, as they were twins or an only brother and sister; and indeed they were a temptation to the pious, even as says of them the poet El Mubin: Be not thy love, O heart, to one alone confined, Lest, for that one, amaze and doting thee enwind; But love thou rather all the fair, and thou shalt find, If one contrarious prove, another will be kind.
