"Can't you keep away from them?" says Sir Mark, in an angry whisper. "Away from whom?" asks Dicky, resentfully. "From them," with a gentle motion of the hand in the direction of Portia and Fabian. "What on earth for?" says Dicky Browne, still more resentfully. "Don't you see he likes her?" says Sir Mark, meaningly. "I suppose he does," says Dicky Browne, obtusely. "I like her too.

To me, he did not seem your natural mate; but then I saw with man's eyes; I was afraid of meddling obtusely." "Don't reproach yourself, father. The knowledge I have gained could only have come to me in one way." "Of course he will turn to me, in appeal against you." "If so, it will be one more proof how rightly I am acting." The Doctor smiled, all but laughed.

He had his own view. "Do you not think it possible, Anne?" he suggested timidly we were of course alone at the time "that he thinks to make Louis resign Mademoiselle?" "Resign her!" I exclaimed obtusely. "How?" "By giving him a choice you understand?" I did understand I saw it in a moment. I had been dull not to see it before.

"I suppose we might go inside, too," suggested Sylvia obtusely. "Oh, I came up for the fresh air! Most of my nights lately have been spent in a hot office with not even a June bug for company. How are the neighbors?" "The Bassetts? Oh, Mrs. Bassett is not at all well; Marian is at home now; Blackford is tutoring and getting ready to take the Annapolis examinations the first chance he gets."

"Won't do what?" asked Cadet Thayne, obtusely. "Suit," replied Olivia, concisely, looking straight forward without any air at all.

The two summits are wider apart, more fully relieved from each other, than when seen from other points; and the highest ascends into a perfect pyramid, the lower one being obtusely rounded.
