Said she, "I would gladly work day and night, until my fingers and toes are without a nail, and willingly see my children work in the same way, could we only be with Felix." Poor heartbroken woman, she sighed like a sobbing child.
By this time Mary was sobbing wildly, and Norma, half-distracted, turned to draw the tea and to toast some slices of the stale bread she had waiting. "Now," she said, jerking the table around before Mary, then sitting down and taking up the child, "you drink that, Mary Carew, before you dare to say one word!" The child responded promptly to the warmth and food and began to chatter.
Félicité, too, was out. She was alone. She saw Papillon, who was sitting up, looking at her with a world of sympathy in the cock of his ear. Suddenly Brigit burst into tears, nervous, hysterical, noisy sobbing, as she had done that day in the olive grove at the Villa Arcadie. She had been living under great nervous strain for months, and these breakdowns were of appalling violence.
So she turned the leaves, till she came to one whereon was pictured none other than myself, and over against me was the image of mine own beloved, the Hostage of the Rose, as if she were alive, so that the heart within me swelled with the sobbing which I must needs refrain, which grieved me like a sword-stroke.
Harriet saw the frail silk of the dressing gown stir with her sudden dry sobbing. "My God if I could cry!" Isabelle said, turning. And Harriet realized, with a shock, that she was not acting. "Mr. Carter only sees what I see," she added, "that it must stop. But I am afraid it will kill him. He isn't like other men. He " She opened a drawer, fumbled therein. "Read that!" she said.
A little group of three persons behind, at sight of whom Kate uttered an exclamation of delight. "Oh, Frank! there are Harry and Agnes! To think papa never told us! What a charming surprise!" That was all Rose heard; then she was clasped in her father's stalwart arms, and sobbing on his breast.
I wanted him to be lost. I didn't want you to have him. I hated him always being with you, and me never." Jeremy moved back, and at the sudden look in his eyes her sobbing ceased, she caught her breath and stared at him with a silly fixed stare as a rabbit quivers before a snake. Jeremy said in his ordinary voice: "You shut Hamlet up? You didn't want him to be found?"
After that one sobbing cry he tore like a madman dawn into the valley, traveling swiftly through the muck of fire and under-foot tangle with Peter fighting behind him. Half an hour later he stood where the Missioner's cabin had been and he found only a ruin of ash and logs burned down to the earth. Where the trail had run there was no longer a trail.
She had given over crying and sobbing; but she was silent, and apparently sullen, and would much have preferred her own little room at Ballycloran. There were to be three races.
The sailors, who were frightened to death, communicated their fears to my comedians, and soon I heard nothing but weeping and sobbing. Every one of them was calling earnestly upon some saint, but not one single prayer to God did I hear.
