Perhaps, too, I sometimes think, these old places are full of haunting spiritual presences, clinging, half tearfully, half joyfully to the familiar scenes, half sad, perhaps, that they did not make a finer thing of the little confined life; half glad to be free as a man, strong and well, might look with a sense of security into a room where he had borne an operation.
This was a sore prohibition to Emily, who had been discussing it with the other ladies, and was in a mingled state of elation at the romance, and terror at the supernatural, which found vent in excited giggle, and moved Griff to cram her with raw-head and bloody-bone horrors, conventional enough to be suspicious, and send her to me tearfully to entreat to know the truth.
"Come on along!" she called, almost tearfully. Buck looked up at her. At her trim, erect figure, at her clear youthful coloring, at the brightness of her eye. "If you want to get a reputation for comedy," he laughed, "tell somebody on that train that you're going to visit your granddaughter." Jock met her at the station in Chicago and drove her home in a very dapper and glittering black runabout.
Through the open door in the gable little Em was visible, her feet dangling from the high bench on which she sat. The room, once a storeroom, had been divided by a row of mealie bags into two parts the back being Bonaparte's bedroom, the front his schoolroom. "Lyndall made him angry," said the girl tearfully; "and he has given me the fourteenth of John to learn.

"Don't be hard on him, David," pleaded the wife, tearfully, as she looked up in her husband's face. "He's only a bit thoughtless; and I shouldn't wonder if he was already down at the smack."
Still, however, when I proposed a definite time for the re-celebration of our nuptials, she ever drew back and hinted the wish for a longer delay. "Not so soon, dear Morton," she would say tearfully, "not so soon; we are happy now, and perhaps when you are with me always you will not love me so well!"
A baby is not afraid of its father's eyes. The first real unhappiness I remember to have felt was when some one told me, one day, that I did not love God. I insisted, almost tearfully, that I did; but I was told that if I did truly love Him I should always be good. I knew I was not that, and the feeling of sudden orphanage came over me like a bewildering cloud.
He crushed the notes up tight in his hand. "Brother! You forgive me? Won't you? Eh?" he asked tearfully. "Brother of mine!" Chelkash mimicked him as he got, reeling, on to his legs. "What for? There's nothing to forgive. To-day you do for me, to-morrow I'll do for you." "Oh, brother, brother!" Gavrilo sighed mournfully, shaking his head.
She means you no harm," said Richard. "Heaven knows how much I grieve for her, and how fondly I love her!" exclaimed Alizon, tearfully. "It is false!" cried Dorothy. "She will tell a different tale when you are gone. She is a witch, and you shall never marry her, Richard never! never!"
