"Go to the post-office, bank, and so on." "You're to be errand boy, then?" "Yes." "That's the way I started," said Mr. Wilbur patronizingly. "What are you now?" "A salesman. I wouldn't like to be back in my old position. What wages are you going to get?" "Five dollars." "Five dollars a week!" ejaculated Mr. G. Washington Wilbur, in amazement. "Come, you're chaffing." "Why should I do that?
She kissed him and ran away singing. But his Aunt Fanny was not so fond; and at the dinner-table there came a spark of liveliness into her eye when George patronizingly asked her what was the news in her own "particular line of sport." "What do you mean, Georgie?" she asked quietly. "Oh I mean: What's the news in the fast set generally? You been causing any divorces lately?"
Senor Torres maintained a set smile designed to be agreeable; Professor Herara, serene in the possession of his linguistic acquirements, displayed the insouciance of an undertaker. Together they beamed benignantly, almost patronizingly, upon the young man. Plainly they meant to put him at his ease but they failed.
"She approached monsieur while he slept, walking cautiously, and slipped the money it was a five-franc piece, I think into his pocket. Yes, monsieur, that was the pocket." He smiled patronizingly as Raleigh plunged a hand into the pocket in question, fumbled among the papers there, and drew out the coin and stared at it.
"Yes, sir," said the boy, closing the cigar case, and handing him a lighted match. "Well, the new landlord, whoever he is," continued John, patronizingly, "is a good one.

"Ah," said John, dallying with the change the boy had pushed toward him.
In that case he will grow tired of himself and come back, and you will both coo like turtle doves until he runs away again. Ugh! Serve you right for getting married. I wonder how people can be so mad as to do it, with the example of their married acquaintances all warning them against it." "You don't know what it is to love," said Henrietta, plaintively, and yet patronizingly.
"I am so tired of these present-day young men who patronizingly call their fathers 'Dad, 'Governor, 'Old Man' and 'Old Chap, that the boy's attitude of respect and deference appealed to me as being fine as silk. There must be something rare about that young man."
McCorkle, dropping his voice with deep solemnity, "gets off things like them, without any call to do it, and handlin' flapjacks over a cookstove at the same time, that man's a borned poet." There was an awkward pause. Mr. McCorkle beamed patronizingly on his protege. The born poet looked as if he were meditating another flight, not a metaphorical one.
He rested his elbow on the table, and with his hand covered his large and beautiful eyes, which were half closed, and reddened with nightwatches or tears. He repeated his fragments from memory. His doubting auditors looked at him haughtily, or at least patronizingly; others carelessly glanced over the translation of his verses.
"Oh, pardon me, my dear young friend," said Stevens patronizingly; "but I do not say so. I utter a mere generality. Of course, I can know nothing on the subject of your abilities. I should be glad to know. I should like to converse with you. But the law is very arduous, very exacting. It requires a good mind, and it requires the whole of it.
