"Why did you come here?" asked Droom, feeling somewhat akin to the proverbial fish out of water. "Because I thought I thought you couldn't find any other place," replied Bansemer, confusedly.
"May I take something else to Aunt Candace, too, Marjie?" "What else?" She looked up innocently into my face. We were at the door-step now. "A good-night kiss, Marjie." "I'll see her myself about that," she replied mischievously but confusedly, pushing me away. I knew her cheek was flushed as my own, and I caught her hand and held it fast. "Good-night, Phil."
The old man got slowly to his feet, his arms outstretched, the look in his face changing, understanding, struggling for its place, memory fighting for its own, the soul contending for its mastery. "Franklin Alice the snow," he said, confusedly, and sank down. "God have mercy!" cried Bickersteth, as he caught the swaying body and laid it upon the ground. "He was there almost."
Here and there, at intervals, when the wind blew, shouts, clamor, a sort of tumultuous death rattle, which was the firing, and dull blows, which were discharges of cannon, struck the ear confusedly. Smoke hung over the roofs in the direction of the Halles. A bell, which had the air of an appeal, was ringing in the distance. These children did not appear to notice these noises.
The Duke assured me that he did not wait to be told twice, being all the more anxious to comply, because at the bottom of the casket he had seen some of my handwriting, which he had promptly covered up in taking other papers to read their titles to the King; and that immediately the word "fire" was uttered, he confusedly threw all the papers into the casket, and then emptied it near the fire, betweein the King and Madame de Maintenon, taking good care as he did so that my documents should not be seen, even cautiously using the tongs in order to prevent any piece flying away, and not quitting the fireplace until he had seen every page consumed.

Oliver Smith, anxious to talk election gossip with his neighbor; and for a few minutes Bessie had Lady Latimer to herself, to gaze at and admire, and confusedly to listen to, telling Beechhurst news. "Mr. and Mrs.
The minds of great ladies work somewhat confusedly, for Providence, no doubt wisely, has denied to most of them the faculty of reason.

Only one of all whom the special train had brought down failed to return in it.
Stackpole bade him a cheerful good day. At the sound of the words the Swiss spun on his heel, then gulped audibly and backed away, flinching almost as though a blow had been aimed at him. He muttered some meaningless something, confusedly: he stared at Mr.
