COSMO. 'You should have done it this way.' He very kindly shows her how to carry a baby. ALICE, with becoming humility, 'Thank you, Cosmo.' He does not observe the gleam in her eye, and is in the high good humour that comes to any man when any woman asks him to show her how to do anything. COSMO. 'If you like I'll show you with a cushion. You see this'--scoops it up--'is wrong; but this'--he does a little sleight of hand--'is right. Another way is this, with their head hanging over your shoulder, and you holding on firmly to their legs. You wouldn't think it was comfortable, but they like it.' ALICE, adoring him. 'I see, Cosmo.' She practises diligently with the cushion. 'First this way--then this.' COSMO. 'That's first-class. It's just a knack. You'll soon pick it up.' ALICE, practising on him instead of the cushion, 'You darling boy!' COSMO. 'I think I hear a boy calling the evening papers.'
The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Corinthians

Book 47 2 Corinthians 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia: 001:002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 001:004 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 001:005 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. 001:006 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. 001:007 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort. 001:008 For we don't desire to have you uninformed, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}
ALICE, clinging to him, 'Don't go. There can be nothing in the evening papers about what my boy thinks of his mother.' COSMO. 'Good lord, no.' He thinks quickly. 'You haven't seen Amy yet. It isn't fair of Amy. She should have been here to take some of it off me.' ALICE. 'Cosmo, you don't mean that I bore you too!' He is pained. It is now he who boldly encircles her. But his words, though well meant, are not so happy as his action. 'I love you, mother; and _I_ don't think you're so yellow.' ALICE, the belle of many stations, 'Yellow?' Her brain reels. 'Cosmo, do you think me plain?' COSMO, gallantly, 'No, I don't. I'm not one of the kind who judge people by their looks. The soul, you know, is what I judge them by.' ALICE. 'Plain? Me.' COSMO, the comforter, 'Of course it's all right for girls to bother about being pretty.' He lures her away from the subject. 'I can tell you a funny thing about that. We had theatricals at Osborne one night, and we played a thing called "The Royal Boots."'
