The pain a Scotsman suffers on having to part with a shilling is pictured by Ian MacLaren and Sir Walter. Then came Christopher North and Doctor John Brown with deathless Scotch stories of sacrifice and unselfishness that shame the world, and secure the tribute of our tears. To speak of the Scotch as having certain exclusive characteristics is to be a mental mollycoddle.

The carriage was full of people, who must have heard it, and would be sure to set him down as no end of a milksop and mollycoddle. He blushed to the roots of his hair as he pulled up the window and sat down in his corner, feeling quite certain every one of his fellow-travellers must be secretly smiling at his expense. He wished his mother would have whispered that last sentence.

"Well we know not just in the Bible alone, but it stands to reason a man who doesn't buckle down and do his duty, even if it does bore him sometimes, is nothing but a well, he's simply a weakling. Mollycoddle, in fact! And what do you advocate? Come down to cases! If a man is bored by his wife, do you seriously mean he has a right to chuck her and take a sneak, or even kill himself?"

This theory greatly interested Payson, who held strongly with it, having always had a secret, sneaking fondness for gamblers. On the strength of it he mentioned Charles James Fox there was a true gentleman and sportsman for you! No mollycoddle but a roaring, six bottle fellow with a big brain and a scrupulous sense of honor. Yes, sir! Charley Fox was the right sort!

A prophecy which was to be fulfilled in a singular way. "Given a chance, I can make bread and butter. I'm no mollycoddle. I have only one question to ask you." "And what might that be?" "Will McClintock take us both?" "You took that chance. There has never been a white woman at McClintock's." He paused, and not without malice. He was human.

"I want to do my best by him." At this he turned on her with sudden earnestness. "You can't do your best by being too careful take my word for it. If you want him to be a man, don't begin by making a mollycoddle of him. Let him rough it a bit, or it will be twice as hard for him when he grows up." "But I do I do. I am sending him away from me. Isn't that right?" "You bet it is.

"I'd want to get out with him and raise a little dignified hell once in a while, just to be a human being and keep him from being a mollycoddle. Ahem! Harumph. So he flagged this damsel in the leg show, eh?" Joe Gurney nodded miserably. "Have you given her the once over?" Cappy demanded. "Yes, I went up there one night. I was afraid somebody would see me, so I took along Joey's aunt, Matilda.

I ask you, is it any reason him and his papa got scenes together until for the neighbors I'm ashamed, and for papa's heart so afraid? That a fine boy like our Izzy should run so wild!" Tears lay close to the surface of her voice, and she created a sudden flurry of dust, sweeping with short, swift strokes. "Izzy's not so worse! Give me a boy like Izzy any time, to a mollycoddle.

And this is what you traipsed up here to tell me, is it, you mollycoddle?" Again Martha edged nearer; her body bent forward, her eyes searching his so close that she could have touched his face with her knuckles. "Hold your tongue and stop talkin' foolishness," she blazed out, the courage of a tigress fighting for her young in her eyes, the same bold ring in her voice.

Magee thought of adding that he had felt it might be dangerous to place a package so voraciously desired in her frail hands. He decided he'd better not, on second thought. "I know," he said, "what you think. I'm a fine specimen of a man to send on a hunt like that. A weak-kneed mollycoddle who passes into a state of coma at the crucial moment. But I'm going to give you that package yet."
