What a number of men go to India with the best intentions, and set to work at once, flinging their doctrines at the natives before they have learnt in the least to understand what the said natives' minds are like, or how they work, dropping at once upon their pet prejudices, mortally offending them as a preliminary step towards arguing with them; and in short, stroking the cat of society backwards in the most conscientious manner.
Robert went over to her, and drew her large, crinkled, blond head to his shoulder as if she had been a child. "Poor thing," he whispered, stroking her face pitifully. "Is it very terrible?" he asked, with his lips close to her ear. "Terrible," she whispered back. "Oh, Robert, you do not know; pray God you may never know."
"Dost Thou not think that in a moment like this we should be wiser to trust to the swiftness of our horses than to the kindness of the pharaoh's son?

Bridgie was wiping her eyes behind the urn, Esmeralda was pressing the mustard upon her, the Major was stroking his moustache and smiling as he murmured to himself "Uglier than ever in that black frock! Eh what! Bless the child, it is the mischief to let her go! The house will be lost without her!"
"But I'm wishing I might lay violent hands on the rogue who took our belongings. Where is that Mr. Sheriff for whom you sent to come and catch our friend of the green goggles and the black whiskers, Mr. Grubb?"
