But it would be a pity to kick me out of the house, you know. You'd miss me horribly." Mordaunt leaned back in his chair. "Then I'll give you a sound caning instead." Noel nodded vigorous approval. "Much more suitable. I like you better every day. So does Chris. I believe she'll be in love with you before long." "Really?" said Mordaunt. "Yes, really."
Courtrey, looking back, had caught the sun on her golden hair, on her face as white as milk. He saw that her hands were at her hips loosely set back at her hips and what thought he might have had of mercy at her hands what wild vision he might have seen of speech with her of parley of persuasion was dead. He leaned down and struck the Ironwood with his open hand.
Demorest, uneasily observant of the influence of the giddy foreigner on his wife, and conscious of certain confidences between them from which he was excluded, leaned against a pillar of the porch in half abstracted resignation; Joan, under the tutelage of Rosita, lit a cigarette; Demorest gazed at her wonderingly, trying to recall, in her fuller and more animated face, some memory of the pale, refined profile of the Puritan girl he had first met in the Boston train, the faint aurora of whose cheek in that northern clime seemed to come and go with his words.
On seeing her break from her cage Jovial had thrown himself violently against the door, which was made to open inwards, and leaned against it with all his might, as though he would force it down.

He stepped softly back into the bedroom and leaned again over the curved footboard, his face quite miserable. He went nearer, and held his ear down close to the bedclothes, to hear for himself the regular beating of the heart. Slowly he convinced himself that the doctor's words might possibly be true, at least.
"There, Sandho," I said softly as I leaned forward to stroke my horse's soft arching neck, "I think we've had enough of the idiot's nonsense, and we'll go."

Joan leaned against Cameron on the way to the hospital while Miss Brown kept a finger on her pulse. The girl's body acted mechanically, but the brain was clogged. Day by day in the white, quiet hospital room the battle for her life went on; day by day outside effort was made to trace her and find her friends.
