For Randal Leslie was not one who, by impulse and nature, subscribed to the noble English maxim, "Never hit a foe when he is down;" and it cost him a strong, if brief, self-struggle not to set his heel on that prostrate form. It was the mind, not the heart, that subdued the savage within him, as muttering something inwardly certainly not Christian forgiveness the victor turned gloomily away.
He was immensely struck by her beauty and was inwardly overjoyed when Michael Amory introduced him to her. He had not engaged himself for supper because there had been no one with whom he cared to spend the time, except Margaret, and she was engaged to Michael. Now that he had obtained an introduction to Mrs. Mervill, he was delighted to attend to her wants.
What account can you give me of the American forces, their numbers and condition?" M. Roussillon winced, inwardly at least, under Hamilton's very undeferential air and style of address. It piqued him cruelly to be treated as a person without the slightest claim to respect. He somehow forgot the rolling and rhythmical eloquence prepared for the occasion.
He said nothing, but inwardly prayed that the storm might pass over and all would be brighter than the May morn. "I challenge you to a game of dominoes, gentlemen," cried Mrs. Montgomery who now felt that her presence was necessary. "We are only too happy Mrs. Montgomery," said Phillip rising from his seat and placing a chair for her. Mr.

He was not too sure, but that this frank, clear, virtuous girl could read him through. Sometimes he felt uncomfortable.
Upon this, he allowed himself to slump inwardly till the curve in the back of his neck rested against the curved top of the back of the seat. It was a congenial fit, and Penrod again began to move slowly from side to side, finding the friction soothing. Even so slight a pleasure was denied him by a husky, "Stop that!" from his father. Penrod sighed, and slid farther down.
He remembered every foolish, imprudent and disloyal remark he had made to the stranger named Pasquin Leroy who had called upon him bearing the Premier's signet, and reflecting that this very Pasquin Leroy was now, by some odd chance, a contributor of political leaders and other articles to the rival daily newspaper which had published the King's official refusal of a grant of land to the Jesuits, he writhed inwardly with impotent fury.
Goodness me! if she had had no hat on, she wouldn't have got as far as my parlor mat. But her blouse showed her to be a lady and then her face it was as white as your handkerchief there, madam, but so sweet I thought of the Madonna faces I had seen in Catholic churches." I started; inwardly commenting: "Madonna-like, that woman!" But a glance at the room about me reassured me.
Then she hesitated, and for a minute or two she remained thoughtful and silent, while he was inwardly hoping that she was not going to draw back. Suddenly she looked up at him with earnest and anxious eyes. "Oh, Mr. Trelyon," she said, "this is a very serious thing. You you will be kind to our Wenna after she is married to you?" "You will see, Mabyn," he answered gently.
