| It really was like sweating blood to try to talk reason into one so hopelessly unpractical and hifalutin as Sophy. |
|
| As soon as Sophy came in, he slipped out in the mousey way that she so disliked. |
|
| Sophy admitted him and left him in the library, while she went to summon her. |
|
| Just as he had thought, Sophy was evincing rashness in its most aggravated form. |
|
| Anne and Sophy looked at each other and smiled, the one sadly, the other satirically. |
|
| But whether you bought or not you took with you out of Sophy Decker's shop something more precious than any hatbox ever contained. |
|
| Were this so, certainly she would not be the fitting, intercessor on behalf of Sophy. |
|
| During this confabulation, Maltravers and Evelyn were left alone with Sophy. |
|
| I hear that young Ned Plymdale is going to be married to Miss Sophy Toller. |
|
| For Sophy freedom is allowing the spring to uncoil, to be in sympathy with the process of running down, which is the universal law. |
|
| Not, of course, but that Sophy is beautiful too in my eyes, and would be one of the dearest girls that ever was, in anybody's eyes. |
|
| Come, Sophy, once more let me beg you to be a good girl, and gee me your consent before your cousin. |
|
| Somebody broke down in a piece of knitting, and no one but Sophy was able to put the defaulter in the right direction. |
|
| Sophy tripped away, and we heard her received in the adjoining room with a peal of laughter. |
|
| Once she gave Sophy a yellow ribbon which she took from her own hair. |
|
| The best of all was, that, in the midst of their exactions, all the sisters had a great tenderness and respect both for Sophy and Traddles. |
|
| Mrs. Horton and Sophy talked about the crossing and Grace's arthritis. |
|
| Miss Sophy bit her lip and affected to look with great interest after Mr Cheggs, who was quaffing lemonade in the distance. |
|
| Jeff gave Sophy a directing nod and she slipped out of the room. |
|
| He was humiliatingly at a loss in dealing with this new, essential Sophy. |
|
|
|
| He did honour to the grilled chicken to which he had vainly tempted Sophy. |
|
| To Sophy, it was as terrifying as receiving money from the dead. |
|
| A similar reward paid to any one giving information about a Greek lady whose first name is Sophy. |
|
| Of Sophy telling us that when she saw Traddles asked for it, she almost fainted, having been convinced that he would contrive to lose it, or to have his pocket picked. |
