"And when he does come," said the little lady in her half-coaxing, half-imperious way, "can't we have him up in the study? You see, it does very well for half a dozen of us to be down in the parlor, but it gets kind of stiff and not cheerful with just one. And you'll like to talk to him." He assented readily. Ben always came up in the study, though now he would rather have been alone with Cynthia.
Crane's vigilance and charity assumed a definite shape. "Well," said he at length, dissimulating his repugnance, and with an effort at his old half-coaxing, half-rollicking tones, "you certainly are the best of creatures; and, as you say, 'Had I a heart for falsehood framed, I ne'er could injure you, ungrateful dog though I may seem, and very likely am.
I dare say I should have done the same thing in her place, only I should never have had the courage to do what she did afterwards. You really must forgive her. But won't you come in DO." She stepped back, holding the window open with the half-coaxing air of a spoiled child. "This way is quickest. DO come."
Maggie, Maggie," continued the mother, in a tone of half-coaxing fretfulness, as this small mistake of nature entered the room, "where's the use o' my telling you to keep away from the water? You'll tumble in and be drownded some day, an' then you'll be sorry you didn't do as mother told you." Maggie's hair, as she threw off her bonnet, painfully confirmed her mother's accusation. Mrs.
Sarah was standing over Johnnie, half-coaxing, half-scolding while he sat up in his little crib, shivering and sobbing, with chattering teeth, and terrified exclamations about papa all over blood, lying dead under the burning windows. 'There now, you have brought your poor mamma up! said Sarah, indignantly.
"God help me, Muster Jennings: why my wages are but eight, and my hovel scarcely better than a pig-pound." "Look you, Acton; tell Sir John what you have told me, and you are a ruined man. Make it twelve to his honour, as others shall do: who knows," he added, half-coaxing, half-soliloquizing, "perhaps his honour may really make it twelve, instead of eight."
In the same instant Jeff Moore had also drawn his revolver, and held it ready for the first hostile sign from anyone in the group. "What's the matter with you, Rafe?" demanded the gambler, in a half-coaxing tone. "Nothing," Bodson assured him calmly, "except that I'm going to blow your head off if you aren't down on your knees before I've counted three! One two th "

But how could he make a confidante of one like her?
She was picturesque enough in her blue dress, with the scarlet handkerchief tied loosely over her hair; but both kerchief and dress showed the dust plainly, and the dark locks that escaped here and there were dusty too, showing little of the care that may keep one neat even in a rag-room. "It's just as pretty as it can be!" Lena went on, half-coaxing, half-defiant. "You ought to see it, Mame!
Will it take long?" said she, beginning to yield, as Babie danced about with her bonnet, Armine tugged at her, and Allen look half-commanding, half-coaxing. "She is not to know till she sees! No, don't tell her," said Armine. "Bandage her eyes, Allen. Here's my silk handkerchief." "And Janet. She mustn't see," cried Babie, in ecstasy. "I'm not coming," said Janet, rather crossly.
