"Seeing that the scheme is Nasmyth's, I guess it's only reasonable to fall in with his views as far as we can," he said. "We'll fix on Waynefleet." There was a murmur of very dubious agreement, and Waynefleet, who stood up, smiled on the assembly patronizingly. His manner suggested that he was about to confer a favour.
"So you have, my dear Bog; and your faith has often cheered me," replied the inventor, patronizingly. "By the way, how's your aunt?" "Oh, yes; how is your aunt, Bog?" asked Pet. "I had quite forgotten her." "She's pooty well, ony them rheumatics troubles her some. They're workin' their way from her left arm into her head, aunt says.
Maldon felt that her reputation for sensible equanimity was worth preserving. So she said bravely "I suppose it will be all right." "Of course!" snapped the trustee patronizingly. "But I must tell Rachel." "Rachel? Rachel? Oh! Her! Why tell any one?" Mr. Batchgrew sniffed very actively. "Oh! I shouldn't be easy if I didn't tell Rachel," insisted Mrs. Maldon with firmness.
Uncle Steve had sent it, and it was both valuable and practical, and a thing the children had long wished for. "Well, you'll let a fellow take a peep once in a while, won't you?" "Yes, if you'll be goody-boy," said Midget, patronizingly. Grandma Sherwood's gift was a cover for a sofa-pillow, of rich Oriental fabric, embroidered in gold thread.
"But we're getting a good way out from shore," objected Hiram, who, however much at home he was at the key of a wireless apparatus, had no great relish for blue water in a small motor boat. "Don't you worry, sonny," put in Merritt patronizingly. "We'll be all right. My, that was a plunge!" As he spoke the bow of the Flying Fish dipped till she shipped a few gallons of green water.
Mrs Clayton Vernon had a lorgnon at the end of a shaft of tortoise-shell; otherwise, a pair of eye-glasses on a stick. She had the habit of the lorgnon; the lorgnon seldom left her, and whenever she was in any doubt or difficulty she would raise the lorgnon to her eyes and stare patronizingly. It was a gesture tremendously effective.
Does that gentleman come from your town?" "My friend," answered the Scotchman, not without a touch of pride, "I am not an American; I am from the Highlands of Scotland." "You be? Sho! Well, of course you can't help that." "Help it, sir? I am proud of hailing from the land of Scott and Burns." "Well, I guess it's a pretty nice sort of country," said Mr. Onthank, patronizingly.
"That is a good girl," he said patronizingly, and bade her good-bye. It was thus she learned to read, not remarkably well, but well enough to content Danby, which was sufficient to content Nellie also; and the ambitious boy was not satisfied until she could write as well. An end came to this peaceful life when the youth left home for college.
The great need is the strongest argument for the highest education. Because of your great numbers, and because of your ever intenser racial self-respect, the Negro must educate the Negro, be physician for the Negro, preach to the Negro, nurse the Negro, lead the Negro in all his upward effort. Otherwise these things will be done badly, or patronizingly, or not at all.
"Doesn't she?" asked Joy, a little wonder in her eyes. "It seems so queer to have dinner at six o'clock," said Gypsy, confidentially, as they went down stairs. "At home they are just sitting down to supper." Joy laughed patronizingly. "Oh, yes; I suppose you're used to country hours." For the second time, Gypsy felt uncomfortable.
