It was hopeless she knew, to try to convince this poor demented creature, obsessed with his idee fixe, that she was not Miss Milliken.

And, while she was humouring him, it suddenly occurred to her, why not do it thoroughly. "Mr.
There followed a distribution of black kid gloves, and much trying on and humouring of fingers. "Good gloves," said one of Mrs. Johnson's friends. "There's a little pair there for Willie," said Mrs. Johnson triumphantly. Everyone seemed gravely content with the amazing procedure of the occasion. Presently Mr. Podger was picking Mr. Polly out as Chief Mourner to go with Mrs. Johnson, Mrs.
The poet paused for a moment to gain breath, evidently overcome by the recollection of the awful scene. "Is not that bee-u-tiful?" he exclaimed. "What a fine effect you could give to that on the pee-a-ne, humouring the keys to imitate his squabbling about in the mud. Let me tell you, mister, it would beat Russell's 'Ship on Fire' all hollow."

Empty-handed bringing me her and your-self all I ever longed for! my father and my Psyche! Father, thank you. The poor word must do its best. I thank you with my very soul. How shall I bear my happiness! Constance, it was my father all the time! Did you know it? Serving me like a slave! humouring all my whims! watching me night and day! and then bringing me Con. Your own little girl, Arthur.
Randall, with a humouring smile, defended the Albemarle Review. "It is run," said he, "by a little set of intellectuals some men up with me at Oxford who must naturally have a clearer vision than men who have been living for years in the yellow fog of party politics."
"I am glad to see that you like birds, sir," said Beckendorff to Vivian; for our hero, good-naturedly humouring the tastes of his host, was impartially dividing the luxuries of a peach among a crowd of gaudy and greedy little sparrows. "You shall see my favourites," continued Beckendorff; and tapping rather loudly on the table, he held out the forefinger of each hand.
A shade of suspicion showed itself in his eyes. "No," laughed the doctor, "you need not fear that I'm merely humouring you, or think you mad. Far from it.
