"The child don't above half know what he's talking about, not to say know!" Thus Aunt M'riar in a semi-aside to the old lady. It was gratuitous insult to add: "He don't reely know what's a grandson, ma'am." Dave's blue eyes flashed indignation.
"We didn't expect much, so I didn't order one, but somebody else might have. Emperor Chang?" "Colonel Greggson has all such exercises taped for analysis, Ranger. I will send His Majesty a copy." "Thank you. Medart out." There was a brief silence while the ship sent the tape and Emperor Davis watched it. When his attention returned to Medart, he echoed the Ranger's headshake.
He'd sooner talk of you behind your back." "What does he say?" inquired Mr. Stokes, coldly ignoring a frantic headshake on the part of his friend. "Promise me you won't tell him if I tell you," said Mrs. Henshaw. Mr. Stokes promised. "I don't know that I ought to tell you," said Mrs. Henshaw, reluctantly, "but I get so sick and tired of him coming home and grumbling about you."
The doctor came and went between her home and the village, but always with that solemn headshake, that spoke so much more forcibly than words. "She shall not die!" declared Maarda. "The Tenas Klootchman needs her, she shall not die!" But the woman grew feebler daily, her eyes grew brighter, her cheeks burned with deeper scarlet. "We must fight for it now," said the doctor.

Brook, in her own manner and with a slow headshake, looked lovely. "I couldn't." Then she puzzled it out with a pause. "It even does come over me that if you don't mind !" "What, my dear woman," said Mitchy encouragingly, "did I EVER mind? I assure you," he laughed, "I haven't come back to begin!" At this, suddenly dropping everything else, she laid her hand on him. "Mitchy love, ARE you happy?"
As on this, however, he protested, with a good-humoured headshake, a resignation of any such claim, she had a moment of explanation. "If you'll only come on further as you HAVE come you'll at any rate make out. My own fate has been too many for me, and I've succumbed to it. I'm a general guide to 'Europe, don't you know?

It was what he came to tell me that he had asked me too high a price, more than the object was really worth. There was a particular reason, which he hadn't mentioned, and which had made him consider and repent.

"What more can I do, Tess?" Then, with a grave headshake, "She's told Sister Rose she has to drop out?" "Oh, no, mother!" Teresa said distressfully. "It's worse than that!
