That would be something, but manlike I was ungrateful. It seemed bitterly unfair that Charlie's memory should fail me when I needed it most. Great Powers above I looked up at them through the fog smoke did the Lords of Life and Death know what this meant to me? Nothing less than eternal fame of the best kind; that comes from One, and is shared by one alone.
"You!" she gasped, and lifted eyes in which the telltale signs of tears were still quite evident, so evident that, with a woman's instinct to hide them, she caught up the necklace and held it toward him. "See what I've found!" she exclaimed. But he paid no heed. Instead, manlike, he proceeded, quite unconsciously, to say the one thing that could hurt her most.
That thing on his shoulder must be a mere scratch, he tried to persuade himself, in spite of the sharp pangs it gave him. Manlike he grew more obstinate as his strength began to fail, and pulled harder, with the sweat now running down his clammy forehead and freezing on his face. Maigan, also, was bending hard to his task, and they went along steadily and rapidly.
Back in the railroad station, Percy and his kind-faced assistant, Pop, were prospecting for another recruit. That afternoon Burke improved his time, during a two-hour respite, to hunt for a birthday present for Mary. Manlike, he was shy of shops, so he sought one of the big department stores on Sixth Avenue, where he instinctively felt that everything under the sun could be bought.
Feminine in heart and passion, she was manlike in mind and in her indifference to opinion. Save for Gilbert, she liked Beatrix; yet, as matters stood, she both looked upon her as an obstacle and was sorry for her at the same time. Not being in any way confident of Gilbert's love herself, the girl she pitied and half liked was as much her rival as the most beautiful woman in Europe could have been.
Here, told by themselves, was as much of the story of the skulls as we know, from manlike apes through glacial man to the modern senator or railroad president. But my intelligence was destined soon to die away again. "That is the Caucasian skull: your skull," he said, touching a specimen at the right. "Interesting," I murmured. "I'm afraid I know nothing about skulls."
He was not a burning light intellectually, but he entertained a just estimate of himself and was wise enough not to take any one of the daintily baited hooks that were dangled before him by some of the fairest anglers in England. But manlike, he yearned for the hook that was not in the water.
It had not done so in the instance of Cecilia Travers, because she was so womanlike that even the exercise of power could not make her manlike. There was in the depth of her nature such an instinct of sweetness that wherever her mind toiled and wandered it gathered and hoarded honey.
She had half hoped, even through her fateful instincts, that he might have laughed, manlike, at her fears, or pooh-poohed the whole thing. But he did not. "You say he positively recognized your husband?" he repeated quickly. "Yes, yes!" sobbed the widow, "and knew that daguerreotype!" she pointed to the desk. Brooks turned quickly in that direction.
It's lucky your horse fell close enough so yuh could walk in to camp; I've had that happen to me more than once, and it ain't never pleasant but it's worse when there ain't any camp to walk to. I've had that happen, too." The fire was snapping by then, and manlike he swept the ashes to the floor. The girl watched him, politely disapproving.
