Mother-like she sat at the head of the table, unable to swallow a mouthful herself, while urging every delicacy upon her darling son. "Do, dear Edward, have another cup of coffee," she pleaded, observing that his cup was empty, while his breakfast remained untasted. "Well, just to accommodate," said Edward smiling. "I really have not much appetite this morning." "I'm glad you can relish it, Mr.
'Well, well do I remember her, and how she used to let us nestle in her lap and sing to us. She sang like thee, Elleen, and was as mother-like as Mary is to the weans, but she was much blithesomer at least before our father was slain. 'Sweetest Meg! My whole heart leaps after her, cried Eleanor, with a fervent gesture. 'I loved her better than Isabel, though she was not so bonnie, said Jean.
I didn't say a word, but went to my mother, and she, mother-like, comforted me with a big dinner which she had kept for me. I was content to throw the cuffing in, and still feel that I had the best of the bargain. An elder brother began to chaff me and ask, 'Where are your ducks?

The only thing she was constant in, was declaring him innocent." "Mother-like!" said Job. "She meant Will, when she spoke of them that could prove him innocent.

McKaye, who had crept down stairs with a half-formed notion of confessing to The Laird in the hope of mitigating her son's offense of, mother-like, taking upon her shoulders an equal burden of the blame caught a glimpse of old Hector's face, and her courage failed her.
Soon, mingled with the murmur of the brook, she heard her son's quiet measured breathing. She rose, walked noiselessly down the hall and stood at his bedroom door, to gaze mother-like, to worship. The moonlight just touched the pillow. He lay with his head on his arm; the full white chest was partly bared; the spare length of the muscular body was outlined beneath the sheet.
Durrien had never definitely renounced the idea that her son was living. She had never seen him dead before her eyes, and she clung mother-like to the hope that he was not altogether lost to her. She said that the proofs were insufficient, and she nourished the possibility of his sudden return. She might be said to pass her days waiting for him.
She did not want any companion on these rambles, which had somewhat of the delight of stolen pleasures; for all the other respectable matrons and town-dwellers whom she knew were content to have always a business object for their walk, or else to stop at home in their own households; and Sylvia was rather ashamed of her own yearnings for solitude and open air, and the sight and sound of the mother-like sea.
