"He's got gumption, that man," he exclaimed, "gumption, simon-pure." Graves's own impressions were mixed, and the stress of the accident passed, he resumed his ruined coat with a vague sense of personal slight. Something of this sort prompted him to say rather patronizingly to Shelby as they parted: "You made skilful use of that method of resuscitation. Where in the world did you pick it up?"
"You'll know more about men when you're as old as I am," said Mary patronizingly. "Mind you, it doesn't do to believe all they tell you. Don't let Ken Ford think that all he has to do to get you on a string is to drop his handkerchief. Have more spirit than that, child." To be thus hectored and patronized by Mary Vance was unendurable!
Catlin had patronizingly seen her doing it, but to dance to his vulgar piping never! She was not long in reaching the sands that now lay before her, warm, sweet-scented from short beach grass, stretching to a dim rocky promontory, and absolutely untrod by any foot but her own.
"Madame," he went on, not patronizingly but with a growing consciousness of his own impregnable position which impressed even the self-seeking woman he addressed, "to you I am only Kreutzer, the poor flute-player; but in my native country I am more Count Otto Von Lichtenstahl." "Good heavens!" she cried. "The man is mad!" "No, Madame. I have been unfortunate.
"I wish you would," the woman said, anxiously. "There he is now in the front-door. I'll slip out the side way; he mought suspicion I was talkin' about him." A moment after her departure Johnny Cartwright came back to the desk. "Jim said Ma was here," he said, glancing around the room. "She was, Johnny, boy," Henley said, patronizingly, "but she went home. Ah, ha!
"I ain't much on travelling about in cars myself." Milly, with the amiability of one who has at last "made good," remarked patronizingly, "You'll get used to the cars in three days, my dear." Horatio meanwhile was playing with little Virginia, teasing her about her "new Papa." The little girl smiled rather dubiously.
March, and she wished to explain how they had been advised; but he said to Burnamy: "I sha'n't want you again till ten to-morrow morning. Don't let me interrupt you," he added patronizingly to Mrs. March. He put his hand up toward his hat, and sauntered away out of the door. Burnamy did not speak; and she only asked at last, to relieve the silence, "Is Mr. Stoller an American?"
Even the Judge himself had planned upon Old Jerry's co-operation; he had had it in mind to be patronizingly lenient that night; that is, after that first rebuke which was to leave him the undisputed master of the situation. To reach the really great heights of which the evening's triumph was capable the old mail carrier's collaboration had been almost indispensable.
Rube nodded patronizingly, but he seemed a little uncomfortable under his wife's stare of amazement. "But," he added, in a tone meant to clinch the argument, "she ain't 'Rosebud' no longer." "Rubbish an' stuff! She's 'Rosebud' jest 'Rosebud. An' 'dearest Rosebud' at that, an' so I've got it," Ma said, hurriedly writing the words as she spoke.
"Oh, you'll change your minds," drawled the landlady patronizingly, as became a lady of means: "he takes 'em reel cheap." The photographer met this group at his door and assisted them into the car, from which all his earlier visitors had dispersed except Mallston. Mallston stood at the steps and watched the landlady's grandchild prepared for a sitting.
