"Yes," said the other; "and if I were you, Almira, I would take it without hesitating a moment. You can afford it just as well as not." "It is so high!" said Almira, doubtingly, and holding up the bracelet, so as to see the light reflected from the surfaces of the precious stones. "I don't think it is high at all," said her friend; "that is, for such stones and such setting.
Something that would kind of show that she was the daughter of the city, you know." "You couldn't call her 'Santa Francisca, eh?" said Colonel Pendleton, doubtingly. "Not much," said the woman, with a seriousness that defied any ulterior insinuation. "Nor Chrysopolinia?" said the Mayor, musingly. "But that's only a FIRST name. She must have a family name," said the woman impatiently.
"Is it not so, then?" said Godolphin, doubtingly. "No, sir: no!" "Lucilla Volktman," said Godolphin, with a colder gravity than he had yet called forth, "I claim some attention from you, some confidence, nay, some esteem; for the sake of your father for the sake of your early years, when I assisted to teach you my native tongue, and loved you as a brother.
Jack helped her out, shivered a moment, doubtingly, as he exclaimed: "The sun is nearly down now, though the air is transparent, or would be if we were in the free play of daylight. I think it would be better to go back." But they made no haste.
Surely that was her figure at the rail there between the two young women who were waving their handkerchiefs so frantically. His heart began to jump up and down, wildly, doubtingly, impatiently. Why could not that face be turned toward the wharf as the others were? There was the blue coat but not the blue cap. A jaunty sailor hat sat where the never-to-be-forgotten cap had perched.
Hawkeye gazed after the high-spirited and adventurous young man for several moments, in open admiration; then shaking his head doubtingly, he turned, and led his own division of the party into the concealment of the forest. The route taken by Duncan and David lay directly across the clearing of the beavers, and along the margin of their pond.
The corporal rose on his feet and shook himself like an elephant. "Dat tog is de tyfel's imp, and dat's de end on it," said he, with alarm still painted on his countenance. "And is he really on board again?" inquired Coble, doubtingly. "As sartin as I stands on this here forecastle a-kissing and slobbering the lieutenant for all the world like a Christian," replied Smallbones, despondingly.
Lawton regarded her with a mingled expression of pity and admiration; then shaking his head doubtingly, he continued, "I hope so; and with your permission, we will leave the matter for his decision." The color of Frances changed from the paleness of fear to the glow of hope.
Let us paddle up, John, and I will call them in and look a little into the matter. When the old hunter landed and examined the thongs that were yet fast to the hounds, his countenance sensibly changed, and he shook his head doubtingly. Here has been a knife at work, he said; this skin was never torn, nor is this the mark of a hounds tooth. No, no Hector is not in fault, as I feared.
Fray Antonio and I glanced at each other doubtingly as he spoke, for this explanation struck us as being decidedly forced. The gods of the ancient Mexicans pre-eminently were war gods; but they certainly were not likely to have any very extended knowledge of Winchester rifles and self-cocking revolvers.
