"If he can't help us, ask him if he won't take me," said Peace, in her most wheedlesome tones. "I would rather live with him than with anyone else in the world if we have to break up our house. I thought he would like to have me, too, but Mr. Jones said he wanted Allee." "Mr. Jones doesn't know anything about it. Don't fret, dearie!
King's voice was very wheedlesome, and he had his arm round his mother's neck, for he well knew her affection for her only son often overcame her duty of discipline. "And the Jinksies cut up some awful piece of mischief, is that it?" "Yes, Mother; but it's a truly awful one this time, and I'm the one to blame." "No, you're not!" broke in Marjorie; "at least, not entirely. I proposed the game."
Fairfield, but I told both ladies not to mention that to you girls, as I didn't want to raise false hopes. Oh, I looked out for every point, and you're not angry with me, are you, Princess?"

Come to your waiting knight!" Kit's voice was very wheedlesome, and Patty was moved to encourage him a little. "Do you know, I almost think that maybe possibly perhaps, I WILL go." "Really? Oh, Poppycheek, I'm SO glad! I do want to see My Girl!" "YOUR girl, indeed!" "Yes; mine by right of discovery." "But you haven't discovered me yet." "But I will, on Friday night.

This astonishing announcement was doubtless induced by the fact that Patty had been unable to resist his wheedlesome voice and frank, ingenuous manner, and she had indulged in one of her most dimpled smiles. With her face still flushed by the unexpected caress, and her golden curls still rumpled from the baby's mischievous little fingers, Patty looked like a harum-scarum schoolgirl.

"He's too silly!" Dolly thought to herself; "I won't dance with him, for I don't know how he would carry on. But I wonder who he is."
You see, the Boss might come riding down this trail any minute, and the little mare's so wheedlesome that if she'd come on to you in your prisint state all of a sudden, she'd stop that short she'd send Mr. McLean out over the ears of her.

Den he whisper soft an' low widout any words, jes' like a mammy was a-singin' to her baby. Den agin he sing kin' o' long and soft and wheedlesome, like Sambo when he come a-courtin' o' me. Sho, now! come to t'ink o' Sambo, he didn't nebber like Mockers, a'ter one time he 'spicioned a Mocker tole tales on him.
"Please let me stay a little while, auntie; I'll run away before your guests arrive. Mayn't I help you fix flowers or something?" "No, you're more bother than help; now be good, Kit boy, and run away."
