But it will not do to trust it much, because it breeds fevers and other unpleasant disorders, at all seasons of the year. Like a girl we most all have known, the Isthmus is fair but false. There are mud huts all along the route, and half-naked savages gaze patronizingly upon us from their doorways.
"I will speak to the authorities about a change in your dietary scale," returned Meekin, patronizingly. "In the meantime, just collect together in your mind those particulars of your adventures of which you spoke, and have them ready for me when next I call. Such a remarkable history ought not to be lost." "Thank you kindly, sir. I will, sir. Ah!
"A very proper person to be Bishop in a wild country," remarked Mrs. Mabyn, patronizingly. "And his wife?" asked Natalie. Garth pictured a homely, unassuming body, with a great heart. "Of course!" said Mrs. Mabyn. A whole chapter might be devoted to the analysis of the tone in which she said it. "We had heard she accompanies her husband," said Natalie. "Yes," said Garth.
He pushed the violin patronizingly into Tony's brown hands. The Italian took it, oh, so lovingly, and, with an apologetic glance at Mr. Watlin, he tuned the strings to a different pitch. Anita climbed to the back of his neck. Then came music, flooding, trickling, laughing, from the bow of Tony! Italy you could see; and little, half-naked children, playing in the sleepy street!
Bolster, with an attempt at coyness, "I want yo' t' do a little job fer me." Shorty's hair tried to stand on end. "Jest wait a little, my good woman," said the 'Squire patronizingly. "I want to talk to these gentlemen first; I kin 'tend to your matter any time." They lighted their pipes, and talked and talked, while Mrs. Bolster fidgeted around in growing anxiety.
In a shaded pergola running out from the house to the jungle he saw Annette, and stopped. An old man with a white Vandyke beard and pompously out-thrown chest was coming down the path from the house. He strutted as he walked, and stood for a moment framed between two palm trees where the path entered the pergola. "Little Annette!" he murmured, beaming patronizingly upon the girl. "Happy again.
"I want to tell you, my good friends," he would say to them, patronizingly, "you will appreciate me better as we become better acquainted. Invest your money, and there's a fortune for you all." And they took his word, and invested their money, and, many of them, everything they had. We must go back into the city now. It was a morning in early May.
"I live on East Seventeenth street with papa, and Lottie stays there, too, now, she's my cousin. Where d' you live?" "Oh, I live close by, right on that big green square, where I guess the nurse takes you once in a while," said Billy, patronizingly. Then, looking up pluckily at the young lady, he added, "I never saw you out there."
The change in his voice when he spoke again would have seemed ludicrous had she been in a mood to be amused. "See here, Persis, you've got a chance now to take things easy. You've worked hard," he admitted patronizingly, "and you've earned a right to enjoy the rest of your life. Now, see how silly 'twould be to saddle yourself with looking after a pack of children.
Not long ago I was talking to the ignorant mother of a jaundiced, colicky child of two years of age. "What does she eat?" I asked.
