He was patient.

One could see that he was very much wrapped up in his offspring.

"There, there," and there was a certain Swedish accent noticeable in his voice.
"You'll want to see the city first, won't you ?" said Minnie, when they were eating.

"Well, we'll go out Sunday and see Lincoln Park." Carrie noticed that Hanson had said nothing to this he seemed to be thinking of something else.

"That's east." Then he went off into the longest speech he had yet indulged in, concerning the lay of Chicago.
