The boys seem very cheerful, and I want to go to them: I want to be with Graham, and watch his friends." "What hinders you from going?" "I feel afraid: but may I try, do you think? May I knock at the door, and ask to be let in?" I thought perhaps they might not object to have her as a playmate, and therefore encouraged the attempt.
Dolliver, while frolicking amid this throng of ghosts, where the one reality looked no more vivid than its shadowy sisters, it often happened that his eyes filled with tears at a sudden perception of what a sad and poverty-stricken old man he was, already remote from his own generation, and bound to stray farther onward as the sole playmate and protector of a child! As Dr.
Man might recognise personality everywhere, without much more thought or argument than a kitten exerts when it takes a cork or a ball for a living playmate. But consciousness must have reached a more explicit stage, when man began to ask himself what a person is, what life is, and when he arrived at the conclusion that life is a spirit.
They also learn that if he voluntarily exchange his apple or flower with a playmate, for some other article of desire, he has thereby surrendered his right to it, and must not reclaim it.
As Papita spoke, the form lying in the bottom of the vinta slowly unfolded like a huge jack-knife. The merry eyes twinkled, the youthful, firm mouth curved at the corners, and Piang, the adventurer, smiled up at the astonished girl. "But yes, Chiquita, did you think that Piang would suffer the outcast Sicto to kidnap his little playmate?" Piang took up the paddle and the vinta shot forward.
But still William stole to the presence of his playmate and pupil, until he had completed his fourteenth year; when he was to leave Thorndean, preparatory to entering the army. He was permitted to take a hasty farewell of the villagers, for they all loved the boy; but he went only to the cottage of Mrs. Douglas. As he entered, Elizabeth wept, and he also burst into tears.
"Then you mustn't forget me so quick," said Dab. "If you meet my old clothes anywhere you must call 'em Dick Lee. They've had a change of name." "So, he's in them, is he? I don't doubt they look better than they ever did before." And Jenny walked proudly away, leaving her old playmate feeling as if he had had a little the worst of it.
During the present gaiety of the house, however, the poor girl has worn a face full of trouble; and, to use the housekeeper's words, "has fallen into a sad hystericky way lately." It seems that she was born and brought up in the village, where her father was parish-clerk, and she was an early playmate and sweetheart of young Jack Tibbets.
Coningsby was his model, alike in studies, in manners, or in pastimes; the aptest scholar, the gayest wit, the most graceful associate, the most accomplished playmate: his standard of excellent. Yet Millbank was the very last boy in the school who would have had credit given him by his companions for profound and ardent feeling. He was not indeed unpopular.
It gave her a feeling of enormous admiration and awe when she thought of it, but love for a grandmother who had commanded a garrison, on scanty rations, besieged by fierce and bloodthirsty pirates seemed a little out of place. It was certainly far pleasanter, having Roger for a playmate. Eleanor thought it was better than having a sister.
