It was little to me, however, and I had learned to ignore his moods, so I took my own place silently, and paid no heed to the scowl with which he surveyed me across the table. No doubt my very indifference fanned his discontent, but I remained ignorant of it, until he burst out savagely. "And so you know this young cockerel, do you? You know him, and never told me?"
She who had resolved on facing the "King of Terrors" shrank, with a woman's instinct, from a lonely walk in the starlight. She sat in dreary preoccupation a little apart from the others and paid no more heed to the opening services than to their ill-concealed merriment. the minister was away on his August vacation. Prayer-meetings were out of season, and very few were present.
Knowing how quick we all are to heed the universal voice of mankind, we should be lenient toward others who are thus tempted and fall. "It has appeared strange to some that the Americans could fight for their own freedom from England and yet not think of those whom they then held in slavery. It should be remembered that the two kinds of slavery were by no means identical.
But my wager, fair child, is won, and tomorrow you will deliver to me the exquisite carved ivory casket, while I shall keep my bracelet." Here she paused, paying no heed to the merry threats, exclamations of amazement, and laughter of her companions.
He was too much absorbed in his own thoughts, to consider what those of his young secretary might be; and he was too busily engaged in scrutinising the permanent features of her face, to give much heed to its transient expression. What he saw did not greatly assist in the settlement of the question which occupied his mind.

I believe there could be no emergency great enough to make her say 'hello! over the telephone, and I saw her on one occasion put up her lorgnette when she answered a call." "Now, Sarah," said Mrs. Leigh, laughing. The two ladies talked on about neighborhood affairs, but Wayland paid little heed, being absorbed in his own thoughts. He was in an impatient and critical mood.
He had been warned by the oracle of Dodona to avoid the waters of Acheron and the town of Pandosia; once in Italy, however, he paid small heed to these words, thinking they referred to the river and town of the same name in Thesprotia. But the gods willed otherwise, and you may read of his death in the waters, and the laceration of his body by the Lucanians, in Livy's history.
They moved off very softly, keeping the Tower between them and the group on the path. They gained the back of the house, and so the open heath, and made off to their destination. They moved so softly that they escaped unheard unless Beaumaroy were right in the notion that his ear caught a little rustle of the bracken. He took no heed of it, unless a passing smile might be reckoned as such.
To this she gave no heed, but said: "I am not yet ready." All this time she bore herself like a king. There was nothing distinctly feminine about her. She took but slight interest in her appearance. She wore sword and armor in the presence of her troops, and often she dressed entirely in men's clothes.
