"She'd bite your head off," put in Miss Margaret Slattery. "Are you through with your soup, Mr. Thane?" Without waiting for an answer, she removed the plate with considerable abruptness. "Are you angry with me, Margaret?" he asked, with a reproachful smile. His smile was too much for Margaret. She blushed and mumbled something about being sorry and having a headache.
Anderson looked at her with the vague idea floating through his mind that he owed this sweet, reproachful creature an abject pardon for keeping his molasses-peppermint balls in a glass jar on his own shelf and not locking them away from the lustful eyes of small boys.
"Do you want to disgrace us in the eyes of these prattling servants, Amelia Hampden?" she began in a hoarse undertone, beckoning towards the hall outside: "the idea of not understanding my message any better than that," she went on in a whisper of reproachful despair.
At all events, you cannot deny that he was in love with her." "Why should I deny that? To me" with a reproachful glance at him "she seems like one with whom many might be in love." "Oh, you are a partisan!" says he irritably, rising abruptly, and preparing to pace the room. Margaret catches his coat as he goes by her. "I entreat, I implore you to be quiet. It is so slight a partition," says she.
It did not seem quite a level thing to do, and I must confess that I greeted the lady in a reproachful spirit. It was, indeed, she, and more radiantly beautiful than ever a trifle thinner perhaps, and her eyes more coldly piercing than seductively winning as of yore, but still Henriette whom I had once so madly loved and who had jilted me for a better man.
"And the child is the living physical image of her," he stammered. "The violent hair, the ghost-white skin, the facile mouth, the arrogant eyes, staring staring maddeningly reproachful, persistently accusing. My own stubborn will, my own hideous temper, all my own ill-favored mannerisms mocked back at me eternally in her mother's unloved features."
"But there's a mystery; you can't deny that," said the captain. Mr. Chalk cleared his throat. "It's a secret," he said, slowly. "From me?" inquired the captain, in reproachful accents. "It isn't my secret," said Mr. Chalk. "So far as I'm concerned I'd tell you with pleasure." The captain slowly withdrew his arm from Mr. Chalk's, and moving to the side leaned over it with his shoulders hunched.
I could see them darkening, as they formed on the southern bank of the river, whose murmurs, long drowned by the louder cries of vengeful pursuit, were now heard hoarsely mingling with the deep, discontented, and reproachful voices of the disappointed horsemen. Hitherto I had been as it were a mere spectator, though far from an uninterested one, of the singular scene which had passed.
The sorrows of a whole life were concentrated in this one hour. He walked on, frantically, peering under every bonnet as he passed, looking wistfully in at the shop-windows, expecting every moment to encounter her sad, reproachful face. Walter had been somewhat ill for several days, and the accumulation of misfortunes now pressed upon him heavily.
I put them back, a frown, or a shadow of reproachful sadness, on the picture of a once loving and approving face is the hardest bitterness to bide, the self-unsparing wanderer can know. Therefore I would fain let these faces be turned from me, all save one, a merry minx of maidenhood, of careless heart, and laughing lips, and somewhat naughty eyes.
