"I expected it to be the other way," said Darya Alexandrovna shyly. "Oh, no! By the way, do you know I saw Seryozha?" said Anna, screwing up her eyes, as though looking at something far away. "But we'll talk about that later. You wouldn't believe it, I'm like a hungry beggar woman when a full dinner is set before her, and she does not know what to begin on first.
They had paused, to finish this colloquy, a few feet away from the ladies, who were regarding with dark suspicion this interchange of lowered tones. Suddenly Arlee raised her eyes and gave Billy a quick look, questioning, shyly serious. "I shall be here and you can call on me," she promised, and bade him farewell. She left him deliriously, inexplicably, foolishly in spirits.
You remember Mr. Arlt, I think." She glanced around with a carelessness which ignored the hand that the boy shyly extended towards her. "Oh, yes, very pleased," she said vaguely. Then, with a resumption of her former manner, she turned back to Thayer. "And I thought you promised to drop in for a cup of tea, some Thursday, Mr. Thayer." Beatrix was deaf to his answer.
She thought over her father's question, hardly knowing why she liked that last stanza best. She slowly wound up her ball of yarn and thrust the needles through it, and dropped it into her mother's workbasket before she replied; then, taking up her candle, she looked shyly in her father's eyes.
Not 'perhaps, I insist upon a flat." She looked about the room with its bench brought from the altar of a forgotten deity of dreams, with its line and colour dissolving to mirrored point and light the mystic union of sight with dream and she smiled at the divine incongruity and the divine resemblance. "It wouldn't be so very different a flat," she said shyly.
"Oh, you adorable!" sighed Lewis to himself, and, inwardly, Leighton groaned, "Oh, you you!" Within twenty minutes of leaving the table, Folly rose from the edge of her chair and crossed to Lady Derl. "Good-by," she breathed shyly, holding out her hand. "I must go now." Lewis sprang up to accompany her. They could see he was aching to get away somewhere where he could put his arms around her.
Her fair face flushed deepest crimson; but, instead of turning to him, she moved half coyly, half shyly away. "How quick you are," he said, "to seize every opportunity of evading me! Do you think you can escape me, Madaline? Do you think my love is so weak, so faint, so feeble, that it can be pushed aside lightly by your will?
When she took her place behind the urn, Maria motioned her brother to the foot of the table, and then nodded significantly. "Now you two can imagine a month or two has passed," she said. Even Doctor McCall smiled meaningly. Mr. Muller blushed, and glanced shyly at Catharine. But she looked at him unmoved. "Our table will not be like this," gravely.
"The last verse don't matter anyway. Come to here, Edna. Momma wants to hear your fiddle-playing." "Yes, play us something, my dear." The little girl came forward shyly. As the Prince and the Marchese stood together by the fireplace at the other end of the long room Mamie joined them. "You sang that devil's nocturne inimitably," observed her stepfather, drily.
For the thought came to him, as he looked down upon the sorrowful girl in her neat, cheap frock, standing so shyly before him, that he had never seen goodness written so legibly on the face of any human being as on that of this daughter of a thief and sister of a never-do-well.
