I explained the difference haltingly, and spoke of the wonderful system of identification in the French army, with every man tagged with a metal identification check. "You will probably receive the official notification in a few days," I commented. A queer, startled expression flashed into her face. She opened her mouth, as if to speak, and then, looking at me sharply, closed it again.
His eyes followed hers in every word she spoke, and when she ceased he stared blankly at the fire. "Heed you?" he answered, haltingly. "Heed you? You are all in the world that I have to heed. My only wish is your happiness; to die for it, Gertrude, wouldn't be much " "All, all I ask is that you will live for it."
As Harkless approached the hotel, a decrepit old man, in a vast straw hat and a linen duster much too large for him, came haltingly forward to meet him. He was Widow-Woman Wimby's husband. And, as did every one else, he spoke of his wife by the name of her former martial companion. "Be'n a-lookin' fer you, Mr.
"Daisy, Daisy " he whispered haltingly, "I am not not more to you than our child?" She turned her face up to his; her eyes were full of tears though she was smiling still. "More to me than all the world, dear," she whispered back; "dearer to me than my hope of heaven." She had never spoken such words to him before; he had never dreamed to hear them on her lips.
But, as the opening words of the paragraph show, Luther had another purpose in writing to Melanchthon as he did. Melanchthon was a public preacher and expounder of the doctrine of evangelical grace. He must not preach that doctrine mincingly, haltingly. Is that possible? Indeed, it is.
"The man has come from the mountains with a message for your mother," said José; "I met him at the entrance to the park. But if Rosa Montilla is here, the news is known already." His face was very pale, and he spoke haltingly, as if his words were burdensome, and there was a look in his eyes which I had never seen before. I motioned to Antonio, and the two passed through.
The little girl took two steps decidedly, a third haltingly, a fourth, then stopped and looked back out of the corner of her eye. "Are you very sorry?" she asked. Ben nodded his head gravely. There was a moment of indecision. "All right," she said, with apparent reluctance; "but we won't play duck any more. We'll play drop the handkerchief." The boy discreetly ignored the change of purpose.
It was no longer his own Chaudiere; and when, on a Sunday, his dear people were jostled from the church to make room for strangers, his gentle eloquence seemed to forsake him, he spoke haltingly, and his intoning of the Mass lacked the old soothing simplicity. "Ah, my dear Seigneur!" he said, on the Sunday before the playing was to end, "we have overshot the mark."
Lovaina, in her bed just off the porch, was laughing at the retorts of Atupu, who by her native knowledge of the tongue was discomfiting the roisterers, who spoke it haltingly. I heard an apt interjection on the part of the proprietress which set them all roaring, and so lowered their self-esteem that they left summarily.
You can't play fast and loose with the promise you've given Trenby. So we've just got to face it out." He broke off abruptly. Tiny beads of sweat rimmed his upper lip and his hands hung clenched at his sides. Even Nan hardly realised the effort his restraint was costing him. "What what do you mean, Peter?" she asked haltingly. "I mean that I'm going away that I mustn't see you any more."
