Skaggs's job prevented him from following her. However, he mourned truly for his lost companion, and to-night he was in a particularly pensive mood. Some one was playing rag-time on the piano, and the dancers were wheeling in time to the music. Skaggsy looked at them regretfully as he sipped his liquor. It made him think of Maudie. He sighed and turned away.
Eldredge was now, in some freak, or for some purpose best known to himself, practically following it out. And follow it out he did, until at last he lifted up his eyes, muttering to himself: "At this point the footsteps wholly disappear." Lifting his eyes, as we have said, while thus regretfully and despairingly muttering these words, he saw Middleton against the oak, within three paces of him.
"I don't know about the bird," he says, "but this I do know, that in my eyes you are worth two of anything in all this wide world." His tone is so full of feeling, so replete with real, unaffected earnestness and affection that she is honestly touched. "How fond you are of me," she says, regretfully. "Too fond. I am not worth it."
He dropped his hard manner, which seemed an assumption to cover inward discomfort or shame. "Yes," he said almost regretfully. "I suppose it was. But it's gayer now, got more things in it.

As it meant a thirty-mile trip and the night was cold, I made him wait for a cup of coffee and an omelet." "Miss Smith " "You said 'Sophy' a while ago. 'Sophy' sounds all right to me." "It sounds fine to me, too, Sophy." And he reached out and seized my hand with a grip that made me wince. "I told you I was a bear!" he said, regretfully. When Alicia returned, she came, as usual, to my room.
The Stewarts had divided the flour and the parched corn equally, and unless he was greatly mistaken they had left him most of the coffee and all of the salt.

I hate to part with him, I've grown so fond of him, but I must." She looked regretfully at Nap, who was nibbling Mr. Smiles's clover aftermath. He was sleek and glossy. It had been the golden summer of Nap's life. Mr. Smiles coughed in an embarrassed fashion. Miss Cordelia looked at him and was amazed to see that not a smile was on or about his face. He looked absurdly serious.
Lezzard makes sundry bitter statements which I think none will blame me for not repeating, though all may see them here who desire so to do; she then constitutes Mr. Clement Hicks, her nephew, sole residuary legatee. There is no condition, no codicil; but I have regretfully to add that Mr.
She was not gazing regretfully after the departed 'bus as Hawkins surmised, but with a pleasure so keen that it fairly made her catch her breath, she was looking at the strange landscape and recognizing places here and there, made familiar by kodak pictures, and the enthusiastic descriptions of old pupils.
"I'd have a farewell party myself," said Patty, thoughtfully, "but there's so little time now, and Nan's pretty busy. I hate to bother her with it. You see, we leave next week, Thursday."
