He is soft-hearted and without much will of his own, she said.... Jesus is going to stay with us, so we may all hang upon crosses yet, unless, indeed, Master comes to hear something in Jerusalem that will bring him round to my way of thinking.
Both girls were excited by memories of the day that was past, and by thoughts of the day that was coming. Ida was brooding a little upon her disappointment in Brian Wendover. He had very pleasant manners, he seemed soft-hearted and sympathetic, he was very good-looking but he was not the Brian of her dreams. That ideal personage had never existed outside her imagination.
I shall keep these beautiful glass beads always, and put the cross up over my dressing-table. I thank you ever so much!" "Are those John's children?" asked Mr. De Witt, winking a tear out of his eye he was at bottom a soft-hearted old gentleman. "Yes, papa," said Florence, caressing Elsie's curly hair, "see how sweet they are!" "Well you may tell John I'll try him again."
Lady Maria has a secret or two which the old woman knows, and brandishes over her. I for one am quite melted and grow soft-hearted as I think of her. Imagine her alone, and a victim to that old woman! Succour, Perseus! Come quickly with thy winged feet and flashing falchion! Perseus is not in the least hurry. The dragon has her will of Andromeda for day after day.
"Please tell us, Thorn." The gentler request was answered presently, very steadily, very quietly. "I was always a soft-hearted fellow, though you wouldn't think it now, and when that little girl asked me to keep her safe, I just did it.

Nokes. Now, look here, Susan; there's only one thing more. You are very soft-hearted, I perceive, and it must be distinctly understood between us that you need never intercede with me in favor of that scoundrel Charles. I won't have it. You wouldn't succeed, of course, but if I ever happen to get fond of you I mean foolishly fond of you, of course your importunity might be annoying.
"Florence Mountjoy? Of course I remember my own niece." "The young man is engaged to her." "She was intended for poor Mountjoy." "Poor Mountjoy has put himself beyond all possibility of a wife." "Poor Mountjoy!" and the soft-hearted aunt almost shed tears. "But we haven't to do with Mountjoy now. Sit down there and begin. 'Dear Mr. Annesley " "Oh! It's Mr. Annesley, is it?" "Yes, it is. Mr.
If you go down there to Patmos to clean up some money for you 'n' me, you wanta cut out this soft-hearted stuff. Get the money, see? Never mind being kind; you can be kind when you've got a stake to be it with. Charge 'em for everything they git, and see to it that the money's good. Don't you take no checks. Don't trust nobody for anything whatever. That's your weakness, Casey, and you know it.
I objected politely. You overruled my objections, or tried to. I let you think you had. And for a while after that, you know perfectly well, Biddy, the Set gave me no time to think any thoughts at all, connected with myself." "You poor fellow, you have been a slave!" The soft-hearted angel was caught in the trap set for her pity. "And a martyr. A double-dyed martyr. I deserve a reward.
But I'm not sure yet that you're safe yourself," he went on, still eyeing me consideringly. "I'm a soft-hearted man, Moneylaws or else you wouldn't have your brains in their place at this present minute!" "There's a mighty lot of chance of my harming you, anyway!" said I, with a laugh that surprised myself. "Not so much as a penknife on me, and you with that thing at my head."
