But how to do so was totally vague to him; he did not even know if Douglas had been seriously hurt by the dog's bite. Once when he was roving about at twilight on the other side of the wood he saw Michel Raudszus coming from Helenenthal. He carried a spade over his shoulder, on which hung a bundle.
"Well, I haven't, and I don't understand. But the only way to stop this roving is to make a home of your own. Will you tell me how you expect to support a Cloverdale girl when you marry one?" "I don't expect to marry one." The smile was winning, but the son's voice sounded dangerously like the father's. "Why not?" "Because when I marry it will be to a southern girl " Asher hesitated a moment.
There had been small robberies, of course, but that Hendall's, traditionally the oldest store in Deepdale, should have been treated to such insult, and by a band of roving gypsies, too for every one suspected them from the first why, it was unheard of! incredible! Detectives and sheriff had searched the town from end to end but had found no sign of the missing goods.

I think maybe we might " He stood up calmly to study her, and his tall figure instantly drew the attention of everybody in the room. Over at the long table it was the sharp, roving eye of the snub-nosed flapper that spied him first.

What distinguished it from the France that produced it was a total absence of revolt against the laws of its being, an absolute conservatism, an unquestioning acceptance of Church and King.
Taking advantage, however, of the absence of De la Tour, who had a habit of roving about, he one day besieged St. John. Madame de la Tour headed the little handful of men in the fort, and made such a gallant resistance that De Charnise was obliged to draw off his fleet with the loss of thirty-three men, a very serious loss, when the supply of men was as distant as France.

He brought his eyes down to her from a roving quest among the tops of the trees. "It seems to me you want a great deal," he said quizzically. "Yes, I do," she admitted. "But I don't see that you have any call to object to my wanting it.
