Thus would Mrs. Woolper discourse whenever she had a fair excuse for detaining Miss Halliday in her comfortable apartment.
"Dry up, old softy, or I'll put the buggy robe over your head!" muttered Rube Hobson, who had not had much patience when he started on the trip, and had lost it all by this time.
Middleton, who clasped her with exceeding tightness and showered kisses upon her pouting lips until she pushed him from her, exclaiming with annoyance: "You've kissed me quite enough, you great big softy." Mr.
His deep-set, hungry eyes, upon which his comrades set such store, roved around the camp. "Whar's the gurl?" he queried. "Jim let her go out fer a stroll," replied Anson. "I seen Jim was gittin' softy over her. Haw! Haw! Haw!" But Snake Anson did not crack a smile. The atmosphere appeared not to be congenial for jokes, a fact Burt rather suddenly divined.
"It wouldn't be possible." "No, he doesn't affect us," said Bingley coolly, "it's all he can do to take care of those eyeglasses of his; and he'd muss his clothes. Whitney is something of a softy, sir." Old Mr. King drew a long breath of relief. But he looked so troubled, that Bingley for the life of him couldn't keep up his assumed carelessness.

Well, I suppose you'd call it good. I couldn't stand any such fussing. Why, when Fred got a tumble in the gym the other day the old man almost had a fit!" "A tumble, a fall; did it hurt him much?"
He comes and wipes away some spilled wine, and his hands shine and drip, like a butcher's. "I'm forgetting to tell you," cried Crillon, "that they had news of your regiment a few days ago. Little Mélusson's had his head blown to bits in an attack. Here, y'know; he was a softy and an idler. Well, he was attacking like a devil. War remakes men like that!" "Termite?" I asked. "Ah, yes!

Anybody that's willin' to work can get it in this town. I ain't the softy you think I am." He took her small black purse up from the table. "What's your capital?" "You quit!"
"If you please, ma'am," said he, sadly frightened of his aunt, "I think I could find the pump, if you'd let me try." She muttered something like an acquiescence; so Tom took up the kettle, and, tired as he was, went out to the pump. Jack, who had done nothing but mischief all day, stood amazed, but at last settled that his cousin was a "softy."
Teacher meekly bowed her head; Jacob forced his offering into her long-suffering hair, and then retired with the information, "Costs fifteen cents, Teacher," and the courteous phrase by etiquette prescribed "Wish you health to wear it." He was plainly a hero, and was heard remarking to less favoured admirers that "Teacher's hair is awful softy, and smells off of perfumery."
