"If there is a clot there, nature is probably better at removing it than we are. The trouble with you," he said indulgently, "is that you have come here, where they operate first and regret afterward. Nature is the best surgeon, child." She cast about her despairingly for some way to tell him the truth. But even when she spoke she knew she was foredoomed to failure.
"If we are cast into the pool let us make up our minds to get to that rock. Keep your mind concentrated on it. Don't let the idea leave you for a second and perhaps I say 'perhaps' we can make it." Harry shook his head despairingly. "I can hardly keep my grip on this tree. I don't believe that I could possibly manage to swim even a few yards," he groaned. "You must," said Frank sharply.
He hesitated, then despairingly added, in a voice of resignation: " my master, the King, of a single stroke of this sword, which I have devoted entirely to his service." "I do not doubt," said the lady, with cold irony, "that your sword is active enough when drawn in the service of your King."
"Yes," he said despairingly, "I see." She was determined to preserve before him the outer coldness of her nature to the last. "Let us reckon together," she said. "I helped to in fact, I saved your life at Apia. You helped to save my life at the Devil's Slide. That is balanced. You did me the honour to say that you loved me once. Well, one of my race loved you. That is balanced also.
And just hurry up and unpack, because tea will be ready at half-past six." "My goodness!" exclaimed the English girl, to whom dinner at half-past seven was a custom of life not lightly to be altered. "And I haven't half unpacked, and oh, where is my blue frock? I don't believe I've brought it." She sought despairingly in the trunk.
He struck his forehead despairingly. Apparently the stock of powder was just exhausted. She sacrificed her own clean handkerchief. He put a chair for her on the loggia, which faced westward, and was still pleasant and cool. There she sat, with twenty miles of view behind her, and he placed the dripping baby on her knee.
"What is there for me to do?" he asked despairingly. "Sometimes I think that I can not endure to live." "Baptiste told me that they watched you when you walked by the river." He turned to me with a very interested expression of face. "Do they really?" he asked. "So Baptiste said." "I promised her that, whatever happened, I would do nothing rash," said he. "What would her feelings be?"
"Oh, bless your soul!" cried Jane, "we don't need but three hundred all together, and I can't have one woman " "Three hundred, then," Mrs. Bates called into the next room. "Oh, goodness me!" cried Jane, despairingly, "I don't want one woman to give it all. I've got a whole list here. You're the first one I've seen." "Well, how much, then? Fifty?" "Fifty, yes.
My eyes ached so that I could hardly discern the darkening land, and the snow came down, not steadily, but in swirling eddies blown on fierce gusts of wind. And suddenly raising my eyes despairingly, I saw the huts. They stood about four hundred yards away from where the trail ran through the mountains.
To tell you the truth, I didn't use to think you'd very much chance, Flossie; but when I saw him walk out of the room the other day, I said to myself, 'She's got 'im!" "I wish I knew. I don't want it hanging on for ever." "It won't. If he doesn't propose in May, he will in June, when you've got a new dress and a new hat." Flossie shook her head despairingly.
