And then the children might be married by-and-by, Susan." "You will not give any hint of the plan to Fred, until you are sure that Bulstrode would agree to the plan?" said Mrs. Garth, in a tone of gentle caution. "And as to marriage, Caleb, we old people need not help to hasten it." "Oh, I don't know," said Caleb, swinging his head aside. "Marriage is a taming thing.
It is only surface-work, taming the children at school, while they have such homes; and their parents, even if they do come where they might learn better, are always liable to be upset, as they call it turned out of their places in church, and they will not run the chance." "The church must come to them," said Mr. Wilmot. "Could the school be made fit to be licensed for service."
"It's a nasty-tempered brute, but she's such a one for taming things," said the coachman, whipping off the cloth to show me to the housemaid, and letting in a glare of light that irritated me to a frenzy. I flew at the housemaid, and she flew into the house. Then I rolled over and growled and hissed under my beak, and tried to hide my eyes in my feathers. "Little Miss won't tame me," I muttered.
"Probably, but I am not altogether without means of taming them and you know, Seth, where I have gone. If I am missing, it will be your task to find where I am, and if necessary, you must go to the Marquis de Lafayette and tell him." "You will have also told Monsieur Bruslart." "I am not sure," Barrington answered. "It will depend on circumstances."
It was his first direct overture, and Columbine, who had angled for it, experienced a thrill of triumph. But she was swift to mask her satisfaction. She tossed her head, and turned: "Oh, I've no time to waste that way," she said. "You must do your own taming, Mr. Minotaur. When you're quite civilised, p'raps I'll talk to you." She was gone with the words, carrying her plates with her.
If Baba, Ramona's own horse, was still in the corral, Alessandro could without difficulty lure him out. He thought it would be no sin. At any rate, if it were, it could not be avoided. The Senorita must have a horse, and Baba had always been her own; had followed her about like a dog ever since he could run; in fact, the only taming he had ever had, had been done by Ramona, with bread and honey.
They look very innocent, and are docile, gentle and obedient, spending much of their time in taming their pets and playing with them, and in playing games peculiar to their age. Except in one or two cases in Sungei Ujong, I have not seen a child with eye or skin disease, or any kind of deformity.

In what she called her spare time she was engaged in the endless task of repairing and extending her forlorn little shanties.
But Ulf the Silent looked fearlessly up at Sigurd and said, "Needles are women's tools. The son of a chief is worth a greater price than that." And Jarl Sigurd as he looked at him could think of nothing but of how in his own young days he had caught a baby falcon, and of the scratchy time he had in taming it.
"She has speared her last boar!" "After this she will embroider boar-hunts on tapestry!" "Embroider? Is it likely that she knows which end of the needle to put the thread through?" "It will be like yoking a wild steer!" "Taming a shield-maiden!" "There will be dagger-holes in Thorhild's back!" They crowded around her, bandying the jest back and forth, and roaring with laughter.
