I sat there a long spell, and I did wish for you. I thought it wise to set out your luncheon for you in case I did n't. Hope you had all you wanted; yes, I hope you had enough." "Oh, yes, indeed," said I. My landlady was always peculiarly bountiful in her supplies when she left me to fare for myself, as if she made a sort of peace-offering or affectionate apology.
There was the faint suggestion of a twinkle beneath the banker's heavy lids as Colville accepted this peace-offering. It was barely twenty-four hours since he had himself launched in Colville's direction the rumour which had brought about this reconciliation.
'O Glaucus! said Ione, greatly terrified, 'what have we done? Let us hasten from this place; the storm has ceased. Good mistress, forgive him recall thy words he meant but to defend himself accept this peace-offering to unsay the said': and Ione, stooping, placed her purse on the hag's lap.

Mooney, now passing me a peace-offering of coffee-cake, and tightening her mouth in a grim determination to be civil. Indeed, the one-eyed girl's story had wrought a transformation in these two sullen old women.
"This hat has not been brushed for weeks. When I see you, my dear Watson, with a week's accumulation of dust upon your hat, and when your wife allows you to go out in such a state, I shall fear that you also have been unfortunate enough to lose your wife's affection." "But he might be a bachelor." "Nay, he was bringing home the goose as a peace-offering to his wife.
