The young Douglas therefore entertained the highest admiration for him, and had from the time of his joining Bruce become his constant companion. Bruce himself was the life and soul of the party. He was ever hopeful and in high spirits, cheering his followers by his gaiety, and wiling away the long evenings by tales of adventure and chivalry, told when they were gathered round the fire.
Coventry, and so I was wiling to carry something fresh that I may look as a man minding business, which I have done too much for a great while to forfeit, and is now so great a burden upon my mind night and day that I do not enjoy myself in the world almost.
In my strolls about the country I frequently encountered them sometimes in company with other guests of the hotel exploring the gulches, fishing, rifle shooting, and otherwise wiling away the monotony of country life; and although I watched them as closely as good manners would permit I saw nothing that would in any way explain the strange words that I had overheard in the wood.
I shall own up to about five hundred dollars, but that isn't enough to dazzle people even in a small country village." "I am wiling to help you in any way you wish, Mr. Pettigrew." "Then I think we shall get some amusement out of it. I shall represent you as worth about a hundred thousand dollars." "I wish I were." "Very likely you will be some time if you go out to Montana with me."
"Do you suppose there is a policeman handy?" "There is probably one somewhere around." "I wish you would hunt him up and bring him here." "What are you going to do?" "Dare the lion in his den; eh, Sam?" "Right, Tom! That doctor must know a good deal more than he is wiling to tell." The coach driver went off, and walking around to the front of the sanitarium the boys rang the bell sharply.
At the end of the song they gave three cheers for Tariff Reform and Plenty of Work, and then Crass, who, as the singer of the last song, had the right to call upon the next man, nominated Philpot, who received an ovation when he stood up, for he was a general favourite. He never did no harm to nobody, and he was always wiling to do anyone a good turn whenever he had the opportunity.
While my father was thus wiling away the hours in his cell, the whole town was being illuminated in his honour, and not more than a couple of hundred yards off, at the Mayor's banquet, he was being extolled as a superhuman being.
The long war of twenty years in Europe brought to America thousands in search of safety and rest, and to these the magnetism of the word "capital" was often the song of the siren wiling them to the poor-house.
As late as August, at the time, of our visit, a hundred people were camped in tents on the Marjorie, wiling the salmon with the delusive fly, and leading him to death with a hook in his nose. The speckled trout lives in all the streams, and can be caught whenever he will bite. The day we went for him appeared to be an off-day, a sort of holiday with him.
Jemima remembered, with smouldered anger, Ruth's pleading way of wiling her from her sullenness the night before. Management everywhere! but in this case it was peculiarly revolting; so much so, that she could hardly bear to believe that the seemingly-transparent Ruth had lent herself to it. "Are you sure, mamma, that papa asked Mrs Denbigh to make me behave differently? It seems so strange."
