You will discover what a number of things you can do without when you have no money to buy them. You won't want new gloves and varnished boots, eau de Cologne and cabs to ride in. You have been bred up as a molly-coddle, Pen, and spoilt by the women. A single man who has health and brains, and can't find a livelihood in the world, doesn't deserve to stay there.
She spoke with a touch of real anger, real exasperation. "No more than any other Englishman that's worth his salt and ever does any good in the world. I ain't a timid molly-coddle, if that's what you mean." He took one large hand out of his pocket, scratched his cheek and yawned.
If we decided to try for the Grizzly Something-or- other Poll mentioned, I'll agree, all right!" ventured Anne, the gleam of adventure shining in her eyes. "I'm the only molly-coddle in the crowd and I'd like to see more of this mountain, myself," laughed Barbara. "'Nuff said, when Barbara talks like that!" laughed Eleanor.

She'll pet and molly-coddle you till you won't know whether you're standing on your head or feet; and I'll bet you'll be as snug as a bird in its nest." Winnie looked interested. "Has she a nice house?" "Tip-top, and nobody in it save herself and the servants.
