Allan, now that he was certain of Phyllis's safety, paid them not the least attention. "Did you mean it?" he said passionately. "Tell me, did you mean what you said?" Phyllis dropped her dishevelled head on Allan's shoulder. "I'm afraid I'm going to cry, and and I know you don't like it!" she panted. Allan half drew, half guided her up into his arms.
Then the dogs crouched at his feet, watching him with eyes as red and lurid as the point of his own cigar. Had he attempted to move, had he tried coercion, they would have fallen upon him and torn him in pieces. "Confusion to the creatures!" he cried, passionately. "I'll get a revolver; I'll buy some prussic acid and poison the lot. And here I'll have to stay till Williams locks up the stables.
I hope that Dorian Gray will make this girl his wife, passionately adore her for six months, and then suddenly become fascinated by some one else. He would be a wonderful study." "You don't mean all that, Harry; you know you don't. If Dorian Gray's life were spoiled, no one would be sorrier than yourself. You are much better than you pretend to be." Lord Henry laughed.
He was heard shouting rather than speaking, in furious language against the King, against Coeuvres, against Berny, and bitterly bewailing his misfortunes, as if his wife were already in Paris instead of Brussels. She was passionately fond of dancing. The adoring cardinal described her as marvellously graceful and perfect in that accomplishment.
Good night. . . . Give my love to Susie, and tell her I was sorry not to see her." Susan was all in a glow as her cousin answered, "I'll tell her." doubtless Sam didn't note it, but Susan heard the constraint, the hypocrisy in that sweet voice. She watched him stroll down to the gate under the arch of boughs dimly lit by the moon. She stretched her arms passionately toward him.
He wanted her exactly as she was; and did not weigh her in any sort of balance. It is possible for men to love passionately, yet know that their passion is but desire, possible for men to love for sheer spiritual worth, feeling that the loved one lacks this or that charm. Summerhay's love had no such divided consciousness. About her past, too, he dismissed speculation.
Either way, it couldn't go on. I'm not big enough to do both," she said. "I can't accept such a sacrifice." "Don't you want me with you always?" He seized her hands and passionately drew her close to him. "Want you? I can tell you now. I've been jealous, terribly so, of everyone, everything that touched you." "I knew it," she said. "That's one reason why I didn't sing well to-night.
Have you never once thought of me in all the time that has passed since we last met?" I spoke as I felt fervently, passionately. She made a last effort to repel me, and yielded even as she made it. Her hand closed on mine, a low sigh fluttered on her lips. She answered with a sudden self-abandonment; she recklessly cast herself loose from the restraints which had held her up to this time.
So with an inward sense of pain and chill in his heart, he set himself to divert her otherwise, talking of the books which they both loved, and so at last, when Nicholas announced that déjeuner was ready, some color and animation had come back to her face. But when she was alone in her room she looked out of the high window and passionately threw up her arms.
Tris would be sure to meet her there, to return home with her, to sit again at her side on that bright, homelike hearthstone. "I wish I were a fisher," he cried passionately. "They know what it is to live, for their boats make their cottages like heaven." He could not deny to himself that Tris was a very handsome fellow and that Denas smiled pleasantly at him.
