What was the wound you did so much towards healing compared to the one you are giving me now? Many a blow has been aimed at me, but not one has pierced my heart before." She tried to listen rigidly and coldly to his impassioned utterance, but could not, and, as he ceased, she was sobbing in her chair. He sought with gentle words to soothe her, but by a gesture she silenced him.
"I hear you," said I, coldly. "You didn't get your orders from me. I think your proper place is in the woods. You go tell Madame what you've just told me or should you like me to warn her that you're subject to rabies?" "For the love of Mike, parson! Have a heart! Haven't I got troubles enough?" he asked bitterly. "You are behaving more like an unspanked brat than a grown man."

She glanced at the clock and said, coldly and rather tired: "You have been far enough to-night." His soul, warm and exposed from contact with the girl, shrank.

With face ablaze and teeth set Cameron went to his desk, to the extreme disappointment of Jimmy and the lanky youth, who fell into each other's arms, apparently overcome with grief.

"Half a moment," said the squire.
She was suspicious of Anne's big words and dramatic gestures and imagined that the child was making fun of her. So she said, coldly and cruelly: "I don't think you are a fit little girl for Diana to associate with. You'd better go home and behave yourself." Anne's lips quivered. "Won't you let me see Diana just once to say farewell?" she implored.
To have Hadrian, a young man of twenty-one, in the house with them, after he had left them so coldly five years before, was a trying circumstance. They were in a flutter.

We went to the district attorney's office, and, later, accompanied by him and by Mr. Randolph, we visited Gregory Hall. As I had expected, Mr. Hall wore the same unperturbed manner he always showed, and when Fleming Stone was introduced, Hall greeted him coldly, with absolutely no show of interest in the man or his work.
'You misunderstood me. She said it so undecidedly that he gazed at her with puzzled look. Her eyes fell. 'But you like society?
