You 'd better be good-tempered and jolly, and then I 'll tell you where I 'm going, which, I believe, was what you wished to know in the first place, was n't it?" Betty nodded her head, but did not speak. "Oho!" said the humble-bee, rising and preparing to take his departure.
I promise faithfully nobody from home shall ever come to see me, so don't be afraid. Of course if you won't have me, somebody else will; I've got two hundred to choose from, but I'd rather come to you. Do write and say I may come. I'm so sorry I quarrelled with mother before you. I promise never to quarrel with you. I'm very good-tempered when I get what I want. With much more to the same effect.
"Oh, I'll get on all right," answered Ditte rather more bravely than she really felt. "Ay, you're clever enough for your age, but it's not always that. You must always show a good-tempered face whether you feel it or not. It's what's expected from folks that earn their bread." "If anything happens, I'll just give them a piece of my mind." "Ay, but don't be too ready with your mouth!
'Well, if you like to run about like a little wild child, was the resigned answer.

I think that must be rather nice, said Dolly, turning round from where she knelt on the hearthrug. 'Wake up, Frisk, and be good-tempered directly.

Every one knows how liable animals are to furious rage, and how plainly they shew it.
"I'se do no promising for thee Geordie. Between wording an' working is a lang road, but Kirkwall an' Stromness kens thee for an honest lad, an' thou wilt mind this things promised are things due." Insensibly this act of forbearance lightened Peter's whole day; he was good-tempered with the world, and the world returned the compliment.
She was the fastest mare they'd ever bred sound, and a weight-carrier too. 'I think I'll take Locket after all, says he, after thinking about it best part of an hour. 'She's very fast and a stayer. Good-tempered too, and the old horse has taken up with her. It will be company for him. 'Take your own way, I said, 'but I wouldn't chance her. She's known to a lot of jockey-boys and hangers-on.

The most perfect lover is the one who best understands how and when to apologize. I have heard men say, to prove their independence, their proud spirit, their unbending self-respect, "I never apologize."
The dog was a great coward, but good-tempered and affectionate, and the partial loss of sight seemed to have developed greatly the senses both of hearing and smell, so that he was recognised as a capital watch-dog.
His mother, though a good, amiable woman, had been a weak, easy-going creature one of those good-tempered, listless ladies who may be regarded as human vegetables, who float through life as comfortably as they can, giving as little trouble as possible, and doing as little good as is compatible with the presence of even nominal Christianity.
