He began to wheedle and coax Peter; but then, when Peter answered again with his provoking "I dunno," he would give another twist to Peter's wrist, and Peter would yell, almost incoherent with terror and pain but still declaring that he could tell nothing, he knew nothing about any bomb.
You'll be obliged to have some managing man, who will either cheat you out of your money or wheedle you into marrying him. 'O, your honour, I was never that sort o' woman, an' nobody has known it on me. 'Very likely not, because you were never a widow before. A woman's always silly enough, but she's never quite as great a fool as she can be until she puts on a widow's cap.
So it was that, after listening to the gentle discourse of the ladies, who tried to wheedle and to fondle him to obtain a favour from him, the good Touranian would return to his home, dreamy as a poet, wretched as a restless cuckoo, and would say to himself, "I must take to myself a wife.
Evan thrust the letter in his hands, telling him to read and form an opinion on it, and went in the track of Miss Wheedle. Mr. Raikes resumed his station against the pillar, and held the letter out on a level with his thigh.
I know now why she was so willing to come here and take care of him when he was sick. She wanted to wheedle him into leaving money to her low-lived boy. She is an artful and designing hussy, and I should like to tell her so to her face." The cold and usually impassible woman was deeply excited.
There's nothing secret about it, sir. I'm scared of him. You don't know him, so you can't understand how you'd feel about it. I tell you the mere presence of that chap in the room unsettles people.

You've no idea how he can talk and wheedle and explain everything to suit his own ends.
'I confess to being considerably impressed by the maid Wheedle, said Raikes. 'Would you throw yourself away on her? Evan inquired. Apparently forgetting how he stood, Mr. Raikes replied: 'You ask, perhaps, a little too much of me. One owes consideration to one's position. In the world's eyes a matrimonial slip outweighs a peccadillo. No. To much the maid might wheedle me, but to Hymen!
Janoo watches daily the money that she hoped to wheedle out of Suddhoo taken by the seal-cutter, and becomes daily more furious and sullen. She will never tell, because she dare not; but, unless something happens to prevent her, I am afraid that the seal-cutter will die of cholera the white arsenic kind about the middle of May. And thus I shall be privy to a murder in the House of Suddhoo.
"That a young girl of gentle birth, nurtured in a peaceful English home, brought up in an atmosphere of old-world courtesy, should so far forget herself as to attempt to wheedle a promising young scoutmaster, who can light a fire, practically speaking, backwards this, I repeat, is too much." It was Thomas who changed the subject so abruptly. "I suppose the tide comes as far as this?" he said.
The castle has a tower, as you will see, and on the top of it is a stone the kissing of which is said to confer the gift of ability to wheedle and flatter. But the true stone is said to be another in a wall where it can be kissed only by a person held over the parapet." "Oh, I shouldn't like that at all, papa!" Elsie exclaimed.
