At breakfast on the following morning he had a headache, and she fidgeted. "What horrible coffee," he said, with a grimace. "Brazilian," she said, shortly. "What shall we do to-day?" he asked, looking at his watch. "Hadn't you better eat some bread and butter, instead of grumbling at the coffee?" she said. "Perhaps you're right," he answered, "and I'll have a liqueur at the same time.
Evans, thus appealed to, fidgeted and turned color, and his hands worked by his side. "Your reverence!" cried he, in an imploring tone, and stayed where he was. On this Mr. Eden made no more ado, but darted to Josephs' side and began to unfasten him with nimble fingers. Hawes stood dumfounded for a minute or two, then recovering himself he roared out: "Officers, do your duty!"
She does not mean to come back. She told me so herself" he assured Fyne with a faint shade of contempt creeping into his tone. As regards their young lady nobody downstairs had any idea that she had run out of the house. He dared say they all would have been willing to do their very best for her, for the time being; but since she was now with her mother's friends . . . He fidgeted.
I was on the way to our reward, I was positively on the way to Paris, and New York itself, vast and glittering and roaring, much noisier even than the Works at their noisiest, but with its old rich thrill of the Art League days again in the air, was already almost Paris for me so that when I at last fidgeted into the Park, where you get so beautifully away from the town, it was surely the next thing to Europe, and in fact HAD to be, since it's the very antithesis of Eastridge.
"I'm sorry, but I don't see what you have to do with them." Daphne's hand fidgeted with her dress, her eyes still cast down. "Couldn't we talk without bitterness? Just for ten minutes? It was from Captain Boyson that I heard " "Oh, Boyson, was that it? And he got his information from French poor old Herbert. Well, it's quite true. I'm no longer fit for your or his or anybody's society."
Landry Court fidgeted on the sofa, pretending to listen to the Gretry girl, who told an interminable story of a visit to some wealthy relative who had a country seat in Wisconsin and who raised fancy poultry. She possessed, it appeared, three thousand hens, Brahma, Faverolles, Houdans, Dorkings, even peacocks and tame quails.
Holderness fidgeted and did not approach the real subject for a little while. He spoke with sympathy of Henry's imprisonment and remarked on the loss of his tan. "It's hard to be shut up like this, I know," he said, "but it is the fortune of war. Now I suppose if I were taken by the Americans they would do to me what Colonel de Peyster has done to you." "I don't know," replied Henry, truthfully.
He fidgeted now, rising, cap in hand. "I ought to go and look after him," he said, "if I only knew where to go." It struck Trenholme that Harkness had an idea where to go, and that his questioning was really a prelude to its announcement. "Where do you think he has gone?"
Mitchett on this jumped up; he was clearly conscious of his nerves; he fidgeted away a few steps and then, his hands in his pockets, fixed on his hostess a countenance more controlled. "What does the Duchess mean by your daughter's being as I understood you to quote her just now 'damaged and depraved'?" Mrs. Brookenham came up she literally rose smiling. "You fit the cap.
With his eyes on the sea and his hands clasped behind him, he paced the deck, while we fidgeted and twisted and grew more and more impatient. At last, with a sort of a start, as if he had just seen that we were waiting, he stopped and surveyed us closely. He was a fine figure of a man and he affected the fashions of a somewhat earlier day.
