"If there is anything to be sorry for it falls on me it is crushing me to death. But what is this! The devil's in it! What business is it of the child's? Now, be off with you this minute. Eudoxia, take this little girl to her tasks." He took Mary's head between his hands, kissed her forehead with impetuous affection, and then pushed her towards her governess, who dutifully led her away.
Then he squared off his shoulders and dutifully stooped to kiss his economical little helpmate. "All right, darling," he said, glibly, feeling that Gorgeous Girls were get-rich-quick men's albatrosses, "that will be very amusing for you. It will tide you over until the horse-show season. Now if you don't mind I'm going below to ask what the chances are for some roast beef!"
He thought "rough-plastered walls, where you could lay an' count the spots where the roof leaked, was the most entertainin' in sickness." Rose had longed for the lovely pattern, but had sided dutifully with the prudent majority, so that it was with a feeling of unauthorized and illegitimate joy that Stephen papered the room at night, a few strips at a time.
To be honest, there had been one chat on the moonlit steps of the Museum, but all of this went down on the blue fraternity-paper among other confidences. One afternoon, in the middle of a Spring-time walk, Smith gave utterance to a decision concerning which he had already written, dutifully, to an interested party in the South.
Or would that have been misleading and still more unkind? It was too late now, in any case.

Or perhaps it was partly Cally's own fault, precipitated by the sight of a page standing near, who certainly seemed to have been stationed there by the hand of Providence....
She recalled that smiling, subtly intimate glance from Mr. Dobson's eyes. Oh, if he would stay in Cherryvale just a week! If only he'd come back just once! If only "Missy! The dew's falling! You'll catch your death of cold! Come in the house at once!" Bother! there was mother calling. But mothers must be obeyed, and Missy had to trudge dutifully indoors with a tablet still blank.
