preparative

This, if this were some preparative for chasing, was what Daun did of it, in the cavalry way; and this was all.

I have time for a few lines preparative to what is to happen in an hour or two; and I love to write to the moment.

If I were to elongate my phiz by way of preparative for a sigh, she would split her little sides with laughing at me.

This, no doubt, would be a better preparative for successful dealing with the young than is generally thought.

This preparative sweetness, with her goodness just before, confirmed my apprehensions.
