Arkwright stirred restlessly as he spoke up in quick defense: "Oh, but he is, I assure you. I I've seen them in their home together many times. I think they are very happy." Arkwright spoke with decision, though still a little diffidently. Calderwell was silent. He had picked up the little gilt band he had torn from his cigar and was fingering it musingly.

"Oh, it's it's nothing," said she, diffidently. Then to Striker: "Put 'em here on the table, you big lummix. Set down, everybody." The young lady sat opposite Gwynne. She lowered her head immediately as Phineas began to offer up his established form of grace.

He does not speak as I come near; only he opens his arms joyfully, and yet a little diffidently, too, and I fly to then. "Roger!"

At the younger, who was beautiful, Basil glanced diffidently, remembering that she might have been his wife; but Aemiliana knew nothing of the thought her brother had entertained, and her eyes were calm as those of a little child. When other guests appeared, Basil drew aside, for most of the persons who entered were strangers to him.
