I was always a rather anxious and lonely little boy, looking after my father and trying to help my mother, and feeling a bit of a mollycoddle because I had a tutor and did not go to school with the other chaps. In the eyes of the world I was looked upon as a lucky fellow, but I know now what I have missed.
For the space of ten seconds, father and son looked into each other's soul and therein each read the other's answer. There could be no surrender. "You have bred a man, sir, not a mollycoddle," said the young laird quietly. "I think we understand each other." He rose, drew the old man out of his chair, and threw a great arm across the latter's shoulders.
The same lily-livered crowd that I've seen in the streets since I laid the first paving stone under 'em myself in '91. Afraid of them? Hell! I'd walk through an ant hill as scared as I would through that mob. Thanks for telling me, Dan, but Jim Cargan won't be in the mollycoddle class for a century or two yet." "Yes, sir," said the patrolman admiringly.
There never was anything better looking than Eddie Houghton in his white duck coat. He was one of those misleadingly gold and pink and white men. I say misleadingly because you usually associate pink-and-whiteness with such words as sissy and mollycoddle. Eddie was neither.
Siddons criticize either myself or my father directly, but I understood with the utmost clearness that he found my father indolent and hesitating, and myself more than a little bit of a mollycoddle, and in urgent need of pulling together. Harbury went on with that process of suppressing, encrusting, hardening, and bracing-up which Mr. Siddons had begun.
"I never did see a rabbit put up a worse fight than that one did. I rode up to its fragments, and the old lady was saying how ripping it was and calling sister a mollycoddle, because here was sister crying like a baby over the rabbit's fate a rabbit she'd never set eyes on before in her life. Brother didn't look like he had gone in keenly for the sport, either.
I'm no mollycoddle if I have been sick. I can throw a stone to this blind. This isn't the one I want. There it is down yonder toward the end of that marsh. I saw thousands of ducks circling around it yesterday." "But they'll come here to-day," Stuart urged. "The wind has shifted and they shift their course with the wind. This blind is all right." "I won't have it!" Bivens stormed.
Let us have the telephone number, mister! "Two-ate-one-John," replied Dave promptly. This was the correct answer. Dave had heard that "gag" before. "Mister," beamed Mr. Trotter, "I congratulate you. You are no mollycoddle. Your head is not over-fat, but somewhat stocked with ideas.
That day before practice Coach Murray talked to the scrub in no mollycoddle terms. "The first team isn't getting enough competition," he declared.
"Dear Daughter of the Three," he pleaded, "can't you help me out? Mollycoddle him a bit. Do, now, that's a good child! Keep him 'interested', as she calls it! You are quite as good to look at as Phoebe and are enough more more," and David paused for a word that would compare Caroline's appeal and Phoebe's brisk challenge. "Yes, I understand.
