"I am determined upon answering this letter in person and finding out, if possible, what induced her to pay my fine. Jackass or not, I'm going to see the thing through." Then he stretched an appealing hand out toward me, and said wheedlingly: "Chuck, give me your word to keep perfectly quiet. I'll drop you a line once in a while, just to let you know how I stand. I shall be at the house to-night.
Lauriston handed the watch over and watched Melky inquisitively as he looked at it, inside and out, in a very knowing and professional way. Melky suddenly glanced at him. "Now, you wouldn't like to sell this here bit of property, would you, Mr. Lauriston?" he enquired, almost wheedlingly. "I'll give you three quid for it cash down."
Wheedlingly she looked at him, and shaped her mouth like a bird's bill to soften it; and she drew together her dress, to give herself the look of slimness, using all fascinations. He thought, ''Tis a wondrous old woman! Marriage would seem a thing of moment to her, yet is the profit with me, and I'll agree to it. So he said, ''Tis a pact between us, O old woman!
"Now," said Keith, looking up from the paper, "I will see that Mrs. Wickersham's family is put in possession of this paper." "Couldn't you lend me a small sum, Mr. Keith," asked Plume, wheedlingly, "just for old times' sake? I know I have done you wrong and given you good cause to hate me, but it wasn't my fault, an' I've done you a favor to-day, anyhow."
"Not after the flowers?" said Joel, aghast at that. David looked longingly off to the tip of the mountain overhanging Badgertown. "N-no," he said slowly. "You see," said Joel, wheedlingly, "there must be such a very great lot up there, and nobody to pick 'em, Dave."
"But," he added wheedlingly, "I think I can guess the thief; and because I love you, Thor, I will help you to find him." "Humph!" growled Thor. "Much love you bear to me! However, you are a wise rascal, the nimblest wit of all the Æsir, and it is better to have you on my side than on the other, when giants are in the game. Tell me, then: who has robbed the Thunder Lord of his bolt of power?"
Can't you do nothing for him?" she said wheedlingly, with her arm over his neck, and her delicate finger and thumb fiddling with the lobe of his purple ear. "I'll try," said Judge Harbottle, not raising his eyes from the paper he was reading. "I knew you'd do what I asked you," she said. The Judge clapt his gouty claw over his heart, and made her an ironical bow. "What," she asked, "will you do?"
"Don't look at me like that before I've had my coffee." "Maybe you know him in San Flancisco, eh?" "No, no! We never heard of him until last night." "I guess you lie!" She smiled at them wheedlingly, but Boyd reassured her. "No! We don't know him at all." "Then what for you speak his name?" "Miss Malotte told us about him at dinner." "Oh!"
Presently the eyes ceased rolling and the legs were not bracing nervously. "Now," said Jim softly, "will you be after pulling a little? Yes? Come now," he coaxed wheedlingly, "come now," and he tightened the lines. But the horse shook his head, showed temper as before, and held back. "Oh, that's what ye want, is it?" said Jim. Both horses backed.
"I never did," was the grave response. "Have another?" "If you force me," said Ashbaugh, pouring out a second heavy dose. Old Man Curry took more water. Ashbaugh gulped once and passed the back of his hand over his lips. "We have talked of birds," said he, wheedlingly. "Leave us now talk of centipedes." "No," said Curry quietly. "No, I reckon not, Henry. There's something else to talk about.
