"I'd like to know what you're thinking of, tramping around on the mountain alone," he said, frowning at her. "I have been thinking of you, most of the time, and wishing you could be with me," she answered, so artlessly as to mollify him instantly. "I ought to row you like smoke, but when you say things like that, I can't. Don't you know you oughtn't to go projecting around in the woods all alone?"
The sympathy of the ladies was now greater than ever; they even made some attempts to mollify the ire of Ready-Money Jack; but that sturdy potentate had been too much incensed by the repeated incursions that had been made into his territories by the predatory band of Starlight Tom, and he was resolved, he said, to drive the "varmint reptiles" out of the neighbourhood.
At this moment she would have died rather than have tried to mollify him by a word of excuse. The turmoil in his whole being vibrated through hers. She was ready to throw herself at his feet and implore him to control himself, to guard himself against further wrong-doing but she maintained her proud dignity, and the eyes that met his were not less indignant and defiant than his own.

Ye who govern this mighty world and its mighty concerns with the engines of eloquence, who heat it, and cool it, and melt it, and mollify it, and then harden it again to your purpose Ye who wind and turn the passions with this great windlass, and, having done it, lead the owners of them, whither ye think meet.
Miss Rood felt as if she should die for the pity of it as she looked at his face, and her heart was breaking for grief as she sought to mollify the young man with some inarticulate words of apology, meanwhile still endeavoring to draw Mr. Morgan away.
Then, in a moment, your inventive genius devises a praying sister. Well, there is in that something which might indeed mollify me. But you would betray Bassianus ten times over to save an artist. And then, how my mother would fly to show her gratitude to the man who could quell her furious son! Your mother! But I only squint when it suits me.
From the very beginning of his Administration, he did all that was possible to mollify their resentment and calm their real or pretended fears.
