"He's not that sort of person!" Pao-ch'ai and Hsiang-yuen simultaneously ventured, with a significant smile. "If it isn't he," Hu Po proceeded still laughing, "it's she." Turning again her finger towards Tai-yue. Hsiang-yuen expressed not a word by way of rejoinder. "That's still less likely," Pao-ch'ai smiled, "for my cousin is like her own sister; and she's far fonder of her than of me.
Scandalized though she might be at his conduct, it is however apparent that it was about this time she began to get fonder of him, to worry over him as her favourite child. But it was not till much later that the union between mother and son became quite complete. Too many old customs still remained preventing close intercourse between the men and women of a family.
She called Caleb to her side, when he had set the chair, and asked him, in a low voice, to describe their visitor. The Carrier was in high spirits, good fellow that he was, and fonder of his little wife than ever. "A clumsy Dot she was, this afternoon!" he said, encircling her with his rough arm, as she stood, removed from the rest; "and yet I like her somehow. See yonder, Dot!"
The boys had been going to the Zoo, and Jane had said so plaintively, 'I'm sure I am fonder of rhinoceroses than either of you are, that Anthea had told her to run along then. And she had run, catching the boys before that part of the road where Fitzroy Street suddenly becomes Fitzroy Square. 'I think Babylon is most frightfully interesting, said Anthea.
Dark, short, slim and wiry, Adrien d'Hauteserre gave an impression of strength; whereas Robert, who was tall, pale and fair, seemed weakly. Adrien, nervous in temperament, was stronger in soul; while his brother though lymphatic, was fonder of bodily exercise.
No problem more difficult or of more delicate treatment than the 'criteria' of miracles; yet none on which young divines are fonder of displaying their gifts. Nor is this the worst. Their charity too often goes to wreck from the error of identifying the faith in Christ with the arguments by which they think it is to be supported.
Her disappointment in Charlotte made her turn with fonder regard to her sister, of whose rectitude and delicacy she was sure her opinion could never be shaken, and for whose happiness she grew daily more anxious, as Bingley had now been gone a week and nothing more was heard of his return.
He is very anxious to do it." "He must be fonder of Angus " I stopped. "Than we are?" answered Ephraim, with a smile. "Perhaps he is. But I think he has other reasons, Cary." "What made you think of me?" "Well, we must have a girl in the affair, and we were very much puzzled whom to ask. If Miss Keith had been here, we should certainly have asked her." "Annas? Oh, how could she?" I cried.
Jill and he had been very close to each other since her mother had died, a year after the death of her father, and had left her in his charge. He had watched her grow up with a joy that had a touch of bewilderment in it she seemed to grow so quickly and had been fonder and prouder of her at every stage of her tumultuous career. "You're a dear," said Jill.
She became fonder of me, though; and one of her cunningest demonstrations was to escape from the stable-yard, and trot up to the door of the Temple Grammar School, where I would discover her at recess patiently waiting for me, with her fore feet on the second step, and wisps of straw standing out all over her, like quills upon the fretful porcupine.
