"Was that somebody a boy of her own age?" Oh, fie! mere boys still schoolboys could only be looked upon as playfellows or comrades. Of course she considered Fred Fred, for example! Frederic d'Argy as a brother, but how different he was from her ideal.
He looked no more abashed than if King James were his uncle, and the prince one of his customary playfellows. This was little Noll himself. "Here, please your Majesty, is my nephew," said sir Oliver, somewhat ashamed of Noll’s appearance and demeanor. "Oliver, make your obeisance to the king’s Majesty!"
Men spoke already, though she had but twelve years, of the good wife she would be for their sons to woo and win; but she herself was a little gay, simple child, in nowise conscious of her heritage, and she loved no playfellows so well as Jehan Daas's grandson and his dog.
You are quieter than Jus and Archie, and little Rosamond has not been used to boys, or indeed to playfellows at all. And she is fond of reading, like you. 'I'm always being scolded for reading, grumbled Pat. 'It's often that that Jus and I fight about, and then mamma takes for granted it's all my fault, and they call me surly and ill-natured and all that. And it's like that at school too only
'Never had man such delight in the "brute creation." 'They have been his chief playfellows, said Mrs. Edmonstone. 'The chief of his time was spent in wandering in the woods or on the beach, watching them and their ways.

She had been remarkable, when a tender prattler for an uncommon talent in counterfeiting the walk and manner of a bailiff: in which character she had learned to tap her little playfellows on the shoulder, and to carry them off to imaginary sponging-houses, with a correctness of imitation which was the surprise and delight of all who witnessed her performances, and which was only to be exceeded by her exquisite manner of putting an execution into her doll's house, and taking an exact inventory of the chairs and tables.
I really do not know, but it seems to me that I can still see the boots of the dear little one placed there on the mat beside my own, two grains of sand by two paving stones, a tom tit beside an elephant. They were his every-day boots, his playfellows, those with which he ascended sand hills and explored puddles.
The speech was always an attack on, or a defence of, some one of his playfellows. His schoolmaster was wont to say, "You will be nothing petty, my boy; you will be either a very good or a very bad man."
"That was the strong point in the junior classes," said Agatha; "better taught than it was in my time." "I wish she could have more playfellows," said Magdalen. "She would like to go to the High School at Rockquay, but there are foundations I should wish to lay before having her out of my own hands." "I should think you were her best playfellow. She seems very fond of you, and very happy."
