He was not a man of quick mind, his brain having been too many years bemuddled with drink, but he had a rough instinct which showed him all the wondrous shrewdness of her casting that last word at him to wheedle him, even though she looked sullen in the saying it. It made him roar again for very exultation.英文原著 · 《A Lady of Quality》
"Lay down, now, like a good boy, and go to sleep," Bud wheedled. "You can hold it if you want to--only don't drop it on the floor--here! Quit kickin' your feet out like that! You wanta freeze? I'll tell the world straight, it's plumb cold and snaky outside to-night, and you're pretty darn lucky to be here instead of in some Injun camp where you'd have to bed down with a mess of mangy dogs, most likely. Come on, now--lay down like a good boy!"英文原著 · 《Cabin Fever》
'Carmen has just managed one of her best tricks. She has contrived the escape of her /rom/, who was in the /presidio/ at Tarifa.'

" 'Yes!' he replied, 'married to Garcia /el Tuerto/*--as cunning a gipsy as she is herself. The poor fellow has been at the galleys.

MRS FRAIL. Well, as an earnest of friendship and confidence, I'll acquaint you with a design that I have. To tell truth, and speak openly one to another, I'm afraid the world have observed us more than we have observed one another. You have a rich husband, and are provided for. I am at a loss, and have no great stock either of fortune or reputation, and therefore must look sharply about me. Sir Sampson has a son that is expected to-night, and by the account I have heard of his education, can be no conjurer. The estate you know is to be made over to him. Now if I could wheedle him, sister, ha?英文原著 · 《Love for Love》
