Here is a young fellow who as a boy was always a cry-baby and mamma's darling. He is afraid to stand up for himself, afraid of athletics, afraid of girls; and, because of all this, he is lonely, morose, and secretive. Here is a girl of great ability and charm but subject to fits of deep depression.
The whistle sounded; the conductor shouted, "All aboard!" and Mr. Lilly sobbed loudly for a few seconds; then she dried her eyes, lifted her head, adjusted her veil and the wrists of her three- buttoned gloves, and remarked, "I always go on in this way. Ma says I am a real cry-baby; and I suppose I am. I don't see how people can be calm and composed when they're leaving home, do you?
She knew without seeing it in the shadow how he was stretching out pleading hands to her, and she had mercy upon him. But she said stonily, "Wait a minute. Don't be a cry-baby," and ran back to the door, and called to the girl within, "Rake open the fire, Jane, and set the kittle on." Then she ran back to Dylks and stood over him. "Where you been?
He had slices of cake, that he had hoarded up till they were as hard as his heart; and cents, and dimes, and half dimes, that he used to handle and jingle and count over, like any little miser. All the beggars in the world couldn't have coaxed one out of his pocket had they been starving to death. Then Matthew was such a cry-baby. I love a brave boy.
"And me, too," declared Fidge; "me wears goves." "I don't believe it," sobbed the Dodo; "and if I did, I wouldn't, so there!" "I think you are an awful cry-baby," said Dick; "I should be ashamed, if I were you, to be always sniveling about nothing."
So they all made fun of him, and called him cry-baby, and that made him mad, and he said he would go straight and tell all the secrets. But Tom give him five cents to keep quiet, and said we would all go home and meet next week, and rob somebody and kill some people.
David picked himself up from the barn floor, and hurrying out over the sill, began to dust his clothes, glad that Joel had not seen him tumble in. "I knocked him over," snickered Jim. "Hee-hee! Cry-baby!" and he pointed to little David, whose face was quite red as he tried to brush his best clothes clean again. "I'm not crying," said Davie, indignantly, and raising his hot face.
She has a way of smoothing everything over it's her sunniness, I think. Gyp is less hasty and headstrong and Tibby isn't the cry-baby she was." The day before the debate Isobel asked Jerry to show her the arguments she had prepared. "Perhaps I can add some notes that will help you," she explained condescendingly. Poor Jerry went into a flutter of joy over Isobel's apparent interest.
The town ended with the brickyards and the open country began. Yegorushka looked at the town for the last time, pressed his face against Deniska's elbow, and wept bitterly. "Come, not done howling yet, cry-baby!" cried Kuzmitchov. "You are blubbering again, little milksop! If you don't want to go, stay behind; no one is taking you by force!
"It hit me," Faircloth said, "full between the eyes, knocking the cry-baby stuff out of me, and knocking stuff of very different order in. For I wanted something stronger than mother-love precious though that is to brace me up and put some spunk into me just then. Sir Charles was campaigning in Afghanistan, and this Calcutta paper sang his praises to a rousing tune.
