In this connection, when Bronson Alcott came to lecture at the school, we all vied with each other for a chance to do him a personal service because he had been a friend of Emerson, and we were inexpressibly scornful of our younger fellow-students who cared for him merely on the basis of his grandfatherly relation to "Little Women."
A grandfatherly tone crept into his voice, and the caressing hand touched the round, pale outline of cheek and chin with the assurance of age and superiority but the girl tingled under it. "No," she said, almost breathlessly, "I like that best of all." And she pointed a trembling finger toward the Madonna and Child. Gaston was conscious of a palpitating meaning in the words and gesture.
They almost cannoned into me and you know I must look a rum chap in these furry clothes and cap, with my grandfatherly white beard! At all events, they seemed to think me so, for at sight of me they both yelled in terror, and bolted away as fast as their legs could carry them.
I said I couldn't come before eight, didn't I? Well, it's eight, isn't it?" "It's nearly seventy minutes past eight, sir. I've been waiting and watching the hands on the clock for just sixty minutes." "I never saw such a perfect crank about keeping time as that grandfatherly clock of yours. It hasn't skipped a second in two centuries, I'll swear.
Photographs of himself always amused him greatly, and in the little note I refer to there is this pleasant passage: "Here is the photograph, a grandfatherly old figure enough; and I suppose that is the reason why you select it.

I wouldn't ha' given it ye, but it's like as if what must be this luggage being lost. It's like as if Providence was in it."
I learned to milk when I was a shaver on my vacations at a grandfatherly farm. May I have that extra pail?" Murray captured a milking stool and rounded up another Jersey. Before sitting down he seemed struck with an idea. "My name is Arnold Murray. I board at Sweetbriar Cottage, next farm to Orchard Knob. That makes us near neighbours." "I suppose it does," said Mollie.
"But again the door is opened. A grandfatherly personage tottered hastily into the office, with such an earnestness in his infirm alacrity that his white hair floated backward, as he hurried up to the desk. This venerable figure explained that he was in search of To-morrow.
They aren't human they're just a pack of Fe-Fe-Females!" This was after he had to admit their parthenogenesis. "I wish our grandfatherly minds had managed as well," said Jeff. "Do you really think it's to our credit that we have muddled along with all our poverty and disease and the like? They have peace and plenty, wealth and beauty, goodness and intellect. Pretty good people, I think!"
Though Hampton Court has never been the residence of the English kings since the second George gave the third George an enduring disgust for it by boxing the ears of the boy there in a fit of grandfatherly impatience, it has been and is the home of many English gentlefolk, rarely privileged, in a land of rare privileges, to live in apartments granted them by royal favor.
