"Well, I s'pose women that have men folks to do for 'em ought to be kind of obligin' sometimes to them that ain't. I'll see if I can get Adoniram to make you a screen-door next winter. Seems to me it does get hotter an' hotter. For the land sakes, Amanda Pratt! what are you cuttin' that great hole in that stockin' heel for? Are you crazy?" Amanda colored.
"Well!" exclaimed Larry. "Maybe the gent don't like the way we been runnin' this game in other ways. Maybe he's got a few more suggestions to make, sittin' in? I like to be obligin'." He grinned, and the effect was ghastly. "Thanks," said Andy. "That lets me out as far as suggestions go."
The latter, having listened to the story of the captured women and to the scheme for their rescue, astonished the commanding officer by declining absolutely to take the proposed journey. "I'd like t' be obligin'," he said, "but I can't go. I didn't know there was goin' t' be any travellin'. There's business that'll keep me here." "Why, man!" cried the colonel, "I've made you a good offer."
In private, though, Veronica was good-natured and obligin'; so it was an easy after-dinner cue for a young gent to lead her to the piano and persuade her to tear off a few little operatic gems, while he leaned on one elbow and gazed soulful at her. And I expect they didn't have to know such a lot about grand opera to play the leanin' part, either.
Slowton, bein' obligin' though ignorant, 'as got 'im in to see yer Uncle, and there they both is, in the best parlour, with special wine an' seedies on the table." "Oh, it'll be all right!" said Robin, cheerfully, "Uncle Hugo is getting old, of course, and he's a bit fanciful." Priscilla sniffed the air. "Mebbe and mebbe not! What are you two waitin' for now?"
"No, I never heard." "I wish you'd find out and let me know. You can send the letter to Joel Phipps, Groveton. Then find out if it's easy to get such a chance." "I will. I shall be glad to oblige you." "You always was obligin', Rodney. I've asked Jack Bundy to do it you know his folks live in the city but he never would. He's a mighty disagreeable boy. He never liked you." "Didn't he?"
'I am very glad to see that you have so high a sense of your duties as a son, Sam, said Mr. Pickwick. 'I always had, sir, replied Mr. Weller. 'That's a very gratifying reflection, Sam, said Mr. Pickwick approvingly. 'Wery, Sir, replied Mr. Weller; 'if ever I wanted anythin' o' my father, I always asked for it in a wery 'spectful and obligin' manner.
Then, if you find yourself soarin' heavenwards in a kind of scattered anatomical puzzle-map of little bits, don't blame me for obligin' you, that's all." There was a guffaw from the listeners. W. Keyse saluted, cheerfully joining in. "I shan't s'y a word, sir." "By George, I believe you!" said Beauvayse. "What's up? Seen a ghost?"
'Owbeit an' notwithstanding, 'ooever you are and nevertheless, you will find the tradespeople's entra " "You're the gentleman as is so obligin' as to be Mr. Ravenslee's butler, ain't you?" "Sich is my perfession," Mr. Brimberly admitted. "I am in sole charge of these premises and so being will ask you to withdraw 'ence immediate. I will ask "
"He may be what he likes, Frank, but all I can say is, that I found him civil and obligin', an' you know the devil's not so black as he's painted." "I know no such thing, Art," replied the other; "for that matter, he may be a great deal blacker; but still I'd advise you to have nothing to say to Toal he's a bad graft, egg and bird; but what civility did he ever show you?"
