"She's got one arm thrown up for help," he cried above the thumping of the engine. Slim was so softhearted he could not bear to see a creature in distress, and the sight of that arm thrown up in a wild gesture filled him with a quivering horror. He could not bear to look at it and turned his eyes away.
"Bring me a bigger bat." "Bring me a mitt." "Bring me a boat," came in chorus from Ptolemy, Emerald, and Demetrius. "What'll you give me to stay here?" asked Pythagoras, who was a born bargain-driver. "I'll give you a licking if you don't stay," was the only offer he gleaned from me. "Be good boys," adjured the softhearted Rob, "and I'll bring you everything I can find at the hotel."
"So should I be, Maureen," said I. "I remember how he carried me round the stables and to the kennels on his shoulder, and how he brought me in to see Bridget Kinsella, the huntsman's wife, and she gave me bread and brown sugar with cream over it. And when we were coming back it was cold, and Uncle Luke carried me inside his coat." "Aye," said Maureen, "he was ever softhearted.
"I am to take orders," he muttered. Stan laughed. The softhearted Swen had been planted on him. They were supposed to get chummy while the tall mechanic listened and picked up anything of value which might be said. "What am I supposed to call you?" Stan asked. "Hans," the mechanic said shortly. "Well, Hans, we'll have a try at assembling this thing," Stan said.
Never had she been so stern in any circumstances, while on the other hand her husband, so long as she could remember, had never been so softhearted and tender to his son, and yet she had controlled herself so far, as not to contradict Petrus in Polykarp's presence, and to leave the work-room in silence with her husband.
I trust there will be good news from France." Just on the boundary of the farm Mr. Preston met Maurice. Some impulse, for he was not a softhearted man himself, made him stop, call the pretty boy to his side, and give him half a sovereign. "Ask your sister to take care of it for you, and keep it, both of you, my poor babes, for a rainy day." Mr. Preston's visits were now supposed to have ceased.

You only brought me on here because you was so damn softhearted you couldn't fire me. You didn't use no judgment or you'd of fired me then, and a hundred times since then. All this whole mix-up was because I didn't have no brains I couldn't see a load of hay; yet it was me that was doing all the seeing you never took no hand in it at all. Shore, I fell down!
