And when Nan sang later a newer, wider world, more years, more thoughts, more profound depths in her song he was captive. "You are mine, you are mine!" he said to himself over and over again, and by the flush on her neck as she sat at the harpsichord she might be hearing, through some magic sense, his bold unspoken thought.

"I wish to introduce you to Mrs. Sewall Mrs. F. Rockridge Sewall. The applicant to your advertisement, Mrs. Sewall." Miss Armstrong stood aside. It was she who recovered first from the shock of our meeting. I had seen a slight flush an angry flush I thought spread faintly over Mrs. Sewall's features as she first recognized me. But it faded.

You could not be more conscientious, I am sure, but you sometimes let a misdemeanor, such as occurred last night, go unpunished, and it establishes an unfortunate precedent, I fear." "Did you ever know me to punish any girl placed in my charge?" asked Miss Preston, a slight flush creeping over her face. "Certainly not! Certainly not!" cried Mrs.

"It will help me to conquer self, to put self behind my back forever, to show the world, by leaving London, that self has not entered into my count at all, and that I am thinking of nothing but my work." A warm flush rose to her cheeks as he spoke, and again she wanted to fling herself on his neck and cry. But he was too calm for that, too sad and too spiritual.

"Mr. Ironside!" She was gazing at him in wide-eyed amazement. A dark flush rose in his swarthy face under her eyes, "I had to say it," he said with heavy deliberation, "though I know I'm only hammering nails into my own coffin. I had to take my only chance of telling you. Of course, I know you won't listen.

I come on my own hook; she didn't know anything about it." Malcolm drummed on the desk with nervous fingers. The flush remained on his face, his cigarette had gone out, and he threw the stump savagely into the wastepaper basket. Captain Elisha remained silent. At length the young man spoke. "Well," he growled, pettishly, "how much will it take to square things with the gang?

Sometimes, when it was absolutely necessary to finish off some work, I have entered the shop with a stern determination not to drink a single drop until I completed it. I have bitterly felt that my failing was a matter of common conversation in the town, and a burning sense of shame would flush my fevered brow at the conviction that I was scorned by the respectable portion of the community.

He held her hands in a close, warm clasp, and a flush crossed his brow, as he looked down into her quivering face where a smile which he could not interpret, seemed only a challenge. "Would a generous man, worthy of Miss Gordon, harass and persecute a very unhappy and unfortunate woman, who asks at his hands only to be forgotten completely, to be left in peace?"

He held out the book to her, but, to his surprise, she shook her head, with a deeper flush on her face. "Won't you take the book, Kilmeny? Why not?" She took her pencil and wrote slowly, unlike her usual quick movement. "Do not be offended with me. I shall not need anything to make me remember you because I can never forget you. But I would rather not take the book. I do not want to read it again.

I have heard many people declare at a public reception that he is the most gracious of men, and seen many more retire from shaking his hand with a flush of pride on their faces as though Royalty had stooped to inquire after the measles of their youngest child. Such is ever the effect upon vulgar minds of geniality in superiors: they love to be stooped to from the heights.
