These measures had a tranquillising effect, and order reigned in Suakin until the return of the Field Force, when their victory was celebrated with appropriate festivities. It was announced that as a result of the successful operations the Dervish enterprise against the Tokai Delta had collapsed, and that Osman Digna's power was for ever broken.
But first I want you to set the mind of this poor lad at rest, as he seems in a great fright. Tell him we are friends, and will do him no harm, for he does not understand what I say to him." Popo, more by signs than words, quickly succeeded in tranquillising the lad. "Who is he?" asked the commander, "for his skin is as white as ours; and I cannot suppose that he is a native."
At that moment, perhaps many who joined in it hoped that it would have the effect of tranquillising the multitude. Scarcely, however, had it concluded before a band of the most ruffianly-looking of the assemblage united together, and, as if with one accord, made a rush at the figure of the Virgin the same idol which had been carried about the city a few days previously.
Their last meeting was to take place on the following morning, but as he was not leaving till the evening of that day he suggested that very probably he might contrive to meet her once more in the afternoon.

You want not only the negative absence of pain, but the positive presence of a tranquillising guest in your heart that conscience of yours testifying with you, blessing you in its witness, and shedding abroad rest and comfort.

Masaccio is not inferior to Giotto in his power of telling a story with simplicity; but he understands the value of perspective for realising the circumstances of the scene depicted. His august groups of the Apostles are surrounded by landscape tranquillising to the sense and pleasant to the eye.
Permit me, then, humbly and respectfully to suggest to Your Imperial Majesty, as a means of tranquillising the public mind of averting evils at home, and preventing injurious representations abroad that, even before the sailing of the next packet for Europe, Your Majesty should specifically declare the nature of the government you are graciously pleased should be adopted.
"Captain Twopenny will, I am sure, agree with me in the importance of following his advice." The captain, however, had no little difficulty in tranquillising the invalid lady. She had been accustomed all her life to be petted, and to have what she asked for, and was little prepared to endure the trials she would now be called upon to go through.
"Calmez vous, messieurs; do not be alarmed, ladies," said this gentleman, in the mildest of all human voices; and certainly no oil dropped on the waters ever produced so tranquillising an effect as that small, feeble, gentle tenor.
The little whim had something tranquillising and balmy. It was escape flight from Gylingden flight from Brandon flight from Redman's Farm: they and all their hated associations would be far behind, and that awful page in her story, not torn out, indeed, but gummed down as it were, and no longer glaring and glowering in her eyes every moment of her waking life.
