Helena to claim my empire. For years I have been an exile, but now I am free, free." He waved his arms wildly. "Yes, of course I know you, now," said Grace, thinking to mollify him. "How strange that I didn't recognize you before." Then she remembered reading in the paper of the preceding night of the escape of a dangerous lunatic from the state asylum, that was situated a few miles from Oakdale.
The idea of going round the country talking about me was more than he could bear; so I said, trying to mollify him: "If you want to discuss me, I am always willing to listen; there is nothing I enjoy so much as talking about myself." It was too late. All he said to me was: "Do you mind leaving that door? You tire me and it's getting dark."
"Let him slip!" almost screamed the exasperated Basset, whom Tom's manner of treating the subject was not calculated to mollify. "Let him slip, you say. I'll see him, I'll see him" but in vain he sought words to express the direful purpose; language broke down under the effort. "Poh, poh," said Tom, "don't take on so, man forget and forgive luck's been on his side, that's all."
Her duties are not always pleasant, for when her husband falls out of work the rent must be paid, or she must mollify a disappointed landlord. In many of our London "model" dwellings, if she is likely to have a fourth child, three being the limit, she must seek a new home. And it ought to be known that on this account there is a great exodus every year from some of our London "dwellings."
"Gentleman," said Father Roche, anxious to mollify them as much as he could "gentleman, for the sake of that poor heart-broken widowed woman and her orphan son for her and his sake, and if not for theirs then, for the sake of God himself, before whose awful judgment-seat we must all stand to render an account of our works, I entreat I implore you to withdraw do, gentlemen, and leave her and her children to their sorrows and their misery, for the world has little else for them."
In our camp at Moxie we made a large birch-bark box to keep the butter in; and the butter in this box, covered with some leafy boughs, I think improved in flavor day by day. Maine butter needs something to mollify and sweeten it a little, and I think birch bark will do it.
And, as some of the subordinates of a man-of-war captain are apt to invoke his good wishes and mollify his conscience by making him friendly gifts, it would perhaps have been an excellent thing for him to adopt the plan pursued by the President of the United States, when he received a present of lions and Arabian chargers from the Sultan of Muscat.
"Good madam, I have; the little church down yonder, you know a most excellent sermon I am much the better for it." I wanted to mollify this severe looking old lady; for even my short experience of old ladies had convinced me that they are the hereditary enemies of all strange young men.
Those members that were in the Court interest artfully took advantage of the dilemma the Parliament was in to answer the question, and, in order to mollify them, tacked a clause to the decrees which specified the restrictions, namely, that all should be executed according to the good pleasure of the King.
Miss Chancellor came round came round considerably, there's no doubt of that; because a year or two ago she was terribly unapproachable. If I have mollified her, madam, why shouldn't I mollify you? She realises that I can help her now, and as I ain't rancorous I am willing to help her all she'll let me. The trouble is, she won't let me enough, yet; it seems as if she couldn't believe it of me.
