Little angels

Usage examples of dears.

YOU never heard them called the young gentlemen, my dears, and probably would not understand allusions to their pipe-claying their weekly accounts, but it is otherwise with me, for blue water has been a second home to me, and I have been quite a sailor.

And yet I am very much of the opinion, my dears, that he has not chosen his profession advisedly.

Repentant as she might be, those dears should not be pursued and cruelly balked of their young bliss!
