"A nation, and on their own ground, that's just whar you've hit it, Softy. That's the argument of that Congressman Atherly, as I've heard him talk with the kernel." "And what did the kernel say?" "The kernel reckoned it was his business to obey orders, and so should you. So shut your head!
I reckon you have looked at it all round, sir, before you took up the notion of this trip." "No." Mr. Jones was hardly audible, staring far away from his couch. "I didn't think about it much. I was bored." "Ay, that you were bad. I was feeling pretty desperate that afternoon, when that bearded softy of a landlord got talking to me about this fellow here. Quite accidentally, it was.
"When you speak in that softy, sympathisy voice, I feel that I could just hug you," said Penelope. "Then would you really help me?" "Really and really. What am I to do? If you will whisper secrets to me, I will even forget that I am certain you know something most 'portant about that thimble, and I will cling to you like anything. You will be the oak, and I will be the ivy.
"No, not if you keep your eyes peeled," answered Garry, emptying his glass. "Never saw Gilbert but once, and then he looked to me like a softy from Pillowville. Couldn't fool me, I tell you, on a deal like that. I'd have had a 'stop order' somewhere. Served Gilbert right; no business to be monkeying with a buzz-saw unless he knew how to throw off the belt."
Pennycook, because she never suspected her husband of being such an "old softy," and then enraged her when she reflected that never since their honeymoon had Dan shown her anything more than the prosaic consideration of the unimaginative married man for an unimaginative wife. It did not occur to Mrs.
For I tell you that man has the wickedness of the duyvel in him, and the cunning of an old baboon!" She babbled: "'Ow pretty you talk English when you want to, Walty deer! 'Aven't you bin gittin' at me all along, makin' out ..." He swore at her savagely, and she held her tongue, worshipping this new development of masterful brutality in a man whom she had regarded as a "big softy."
Me who has busted better men than you all my life, me who has got my hooks in you deep already, me who ain't no pulin' ol' dodderin' softy to turn over to a lazy, shiftless vagabond all I've piled up year after year. Buck me, would you?
It isn't the intelligent softy, however brainy he may be; it's the man who can do all the ordinary things superlatively well." She smiled at him with her now curiously tranquil yellow-brown eyes, and he thought he saw in them approval. "I think few men would prepare as you do," she said. "And how many women would prepare as you do?" he returned. "I couldn't do anything else.
"She's a softy!" declared Dolly, scornfully. "I'll bet Bessie and I could have spent the night there and been all right, too, after it was all over." "You and Bessie are both unusually strong and healthy, Dolly. It may not be her fault that she's a softy, as you call her. The Camp Fire pays a whole lot of attention to health. That's why Health is one of the words that we use to make up Wo-he-lo.
I use images which, after all, are false to the thing I wish to express; but they must serve. I tried honestly enough to kill the pigeons, but I had no luck, or too much, till I happened to bring down one of a pair that I found apart from the rest in a softy tree-top.
