What do you kids think you're doin'?" he asked, in the gruff voice which he adopted when he wanted to be particularly disagreeable. Jerry squirmed around on the barrel until he could see Darn. "We're playin' circus," he answered with a feeble, placating smile, before the others had recovered from their surprise. "Yah! You call that a circus? Chris can't even crack the whip."
I predict that within a year we shall find ourselves upon the brink of a civil war, with labor and capital lined up against each other. Unless the government takes some definite step toward placating organized labor, the whole standing army will not be sufficient to keep the peace.
It is at Maison Ponthieu, nearly 50 miles behind the line, whither it marched two days since to undergo a period of rest. Arrived there, you learn that the Commanding Officer is out, placating with the assistance of the Brigade interpreter the wrath of the village hunchback, a portion of whose wood-stack was reported missing last night. 'Disgraceful!
She hated him because he was a hypocrite, because he was always placating and temporizing. For instance, he had said to her as she was about to start for the Usshers': "I hope you'll explain to them why I could not come." There had never been the least question of Mr. Almar's coming, and she turned slowly and looked at him as she asked: "You mean that I would not have gone if you had?"
"I hain't goin' to have it said of me that I danced in no set with her." "Nor me," said Marion Towne, also tugging at her escort.

It may be assumed that it is an early institution somehow connected with the moon, and a definite indication of origin appears to be furnished by the fact that in a Babylonian inscription the term shabattu is used for the full moon.
This gradual shifting to the ground of the benefactor, even of the servile sort, was not entirely placating, as Ivory Buck's corrugated brow still hinted, but the constant iteration of admiration for his marvelous shrewdness and good fortune was having its effect. The old grudge and sorrow that had gnawed at his heart during so many years suddenly shooed away. The pain was assuaged.
Fortescue would never see forty again, and her rich hair had a wide streak of silver running from her right temple; but she was the same Betty Beverley of twenty years before. The Betty Beverleys of this world are dowered with immortal youth and change but little, even under strange stars.
