"Do you believe in 'Let dogs delight?" "I don't know." "What!" screamed Ruperta. "Oh, you wicked boy! Why, it comes next after the Bible." "Then I do believe it," said Compton, who, to tell the truth, had been merely puzzled by the verb, and was not afflicted with any doubt that the composition referred to was a divine oracle. "Good boy!" said Ruperta, patronizingly.
That's about all anybody goes to college for anyway, that and making a lot of friends. Believe me, it would be a beastly bore if it wasn't for that. Al Cloud used to be a lively one. I'll wager he's into everything. See much of the college people down in town do you?" He eyed his companion patronizingly. "S'pose you get in on some of the spoahts now and then?"
"Let's go down, dearie, and hear the music," she said light heartedly. When the summons to luncheon sounded and Mrs. Evringham entered the parlor, she found the child curled up in a big chair, her doll in her lap, listening absorbedly to the last strains of a Chopin Ballade. "Do you like music, Julia?" she asked patronizingly, as her daughter finished and turned about.
His party elders sought patronizingly to reassure him; but he would have none of it. He rose in the Assembly and demanded the impeachment of the unworthy judge. With perfect candor and the naked vigor that in the years to come was to become known the world around he said precisely what he meant.

My client appreciated my skill and complimented me patronizingly in very fair English, though with a slight Russian accent, delaying me intolerably to express his approval. When I had shaved him he asked for pink powder to be applied to his chin; and when I had powdered him he directed me to shape his mustache with Pate Hongrois, a process which he superintended with anxious care.
When her name was called she walked to the platform and faced the leader defiantly. "What can you do best, Ada?" came the familiar question. Ada smiled patronizingly. "Spend money," she said briefly. "Do that," said the young leader calmly. "How can I spend money here?" demanded Ada angrily. "There's nothing to buy. I call that silly." "Then you admit you can't spend money?" "No such thing!"
"Right, my child," commended Elfreda patronizingly, "and therein lies the mystery. I have prowled about the vicinity at odd moments ever since the men began working there, but even my powers of penetration have failed." "Since your curiosity has reached such a height, why don't you ask Miss Wilder to tell you the whys and wherefores of this startling affair?" teased Emma Dean.
"He wants to speak to you," she said, indicating Wollaston with a turn of her hand. Miss Slome looked inquiringly at Wollaston, who stood before her like a culprit, blushing and shuffling, and yet with a sort of doggedness. "Well, what is it, Wollaston?" she asked, patronizingly. "I came back to ask you if you would have me?" said Wollaston, and his voice was hardly audible.
He was there to accompany her, but she declined going without me, and I went along, walking close behind them, as the pavement was narrow. He did not seem to notice that I was there, was troubled with the weight of his diploma and shoulderstraps, and talked very patronizingly to the lady at his side, until she turned, and said to me: "Do you hear that?"
Now there was an incentive for the experiment and Win laughed at the eagerness with which she looked forward to the moment of making it, laughed patronizingly, as she might have laughed at a child's longing for Christmas.
