He leaned over and brushed back the curls caressingly from her forehead, as a brother might have done. "You are very good to have learned that for my sake; Gerelda," he murmured. "I thank you for it." "We must learn to sing it together," she declared. "My voice is not what it used to be," he said, apologetically.
She said nothing, and, leaning her head against him, as she had often done years before, he passed his hand caressingly over the folds of hair, and added: "You call me your guardian; make me such. I can no longer be only your friend; I must either be more, or henceforth a stranger. My life has been full of sorrow and bitterness, but you can bring sunlight to my home and heart.
"No, Monseigneur, no," said Madame Patoux very softly and tremulously "It is almost as if he were a little lost Angel sent to comfort you." A curious thrill went through the Cardinal. An angel to comfort him! He looked down at Manuel who still clung caressingly to his arm, and who met his earnest scrutiny with a sweet candid smile. "Where did you come from, Manuel?" asked Bonpre suddenly.
If he says that I am engaged to him, is it true because he says it? There are some men who marry women simply because they are persevering. Willy Forrest would be one of them if I were weak enough. But I do not love him I shall never love him, Alban." She bent low and almost whispered the words in his ear. Her hand covered his fingers caressingly.
"No, no, aunt, you are never severe toward me; you are only too kind, too indulgent; you spoil me with too much love and consideration; and it is because you have spoiled me so completely that I mean to be saucy enough to speak out just what I think." Bertha seated herself on the footstool at her aunt's feet, took her hand caressingly, and with an earnest air prattled on.
He wailed. He stared at the stranger, in a manner of patient dismissal. He explained confidentially to Carol, "Daddy wouldn't let it be morning yet. What does the pillow say?" Bresnahan dropped his arm caressingly on Carol's shoulder; he pronounced, "My Lord, you're a lucky girl to have a fine young husk like that.
As they passed the base of it, she reached out her hand and let the tips of her fingers brush caressingly across its trunk, turned quickly for a last look at the sunlit valley and the hills of the outer world and then the two passed into a green gloom of shadow and thick leaves that shut her heart in as suddenly as though some human hand had clutched it.
For if I did not keep something back to tempt my little guest, she would not care to visit the solitary prisoner." I felt myself colour crimson. "But but indeed I would care to come, Monsieur Maurice, if you had nothing at all to show me," I said, half hurt, half angry. He gave me a strange look that I could not understand, and stroked my hair caressingly. "Come often, then, little one," he said.
"Where?" asked Mrs. Arbuthnot, who, when advice was needed, naturally first proceeded to collect the facts. But Mrs. Wilkins, laying her hand softly and caressingly on the part of The Times where the advertisement was, as though the mere printed words of it were precious, only said, "Perhaps that is why this seems so wonderful." "No I think that's wonderful anyhow," said Mrs.
"I shall be leaving you altogether so soon now!" And she got up close to her mother's side caressingly, and would fain have pressed into her arms and kissed her, and have talked to her of what was coming, as a daughter loves to talk to a loving mother. But Lady Desmond's heart was sore and sad and harsh, and she preferred to be alone.
