Catching sight of the ship, he apprehended the circumstances at a glance, and bade one of his servants try to get aboard her, and let him know the result. The servant with some difficulty succeeded in boarding the vessel, and found the gentle lady with her few companions ensconced under shelter of the prow, and shrinking timidly from observation.
"You have most graciously invited me to your house to-day, and you will excuse me that my earnest wish to see you has brought me earlier than any other guest." "I begged you to come a quarter of an hour sooner, for I would gladly speak with you alone a few moments." "I thought so, and hastened up here." "Did not my old Trude go to see you some days since?" asked Marie, timidly.
"Miss Burgoyne?" she repeated, doubtfully. "Miss Burgoyne of the New Theatre." Then Mangan watched his companion, timidly and furtively which was a strange thing for him, for ordinarily his deep-set gray eyes were singularly intense and sincere. "Perhaps I ought to tell you at once," he said, slowly, "that that the fact is, Lionel is engaged to be married to Miss Burgoyne."
“Of Meta.... Oh, I see. And you, you adopted the child? And you, Eleanore, knew all about this? And you, Mother, took the child?” He sat down at the table, and covered his face with his hands. “That was what Eleanore had in mind?” he murmured timidly to himself. “And I presume that to make the story complete the child’s name is Eva
"I would fight for your Majesty to the death," said I timidly, but with fervour. "Yet you are on the way to ask leave to resign your commission. Why, sir?"

"She was his wife, Sir," interposed the Duke.
"Yes," said Wingate, so rapidly as to almost take Hawkins's breath away, "the investment you made in" "Rafferty's Ditch," said the "Fool" timidly. For a moment, the visitors could only stare blankly at each other. "Rafferty's Ditch," the one notorious failure of Five Forks! Rafferty's Ditch, the impracticable scheme of an utterly unpractical man!
"Oh dear, dear!" said the Mother Bear, "I suppose not, but what shall we give it to eat, and how shall we keep it?" "Oh, it will do just the other cubs do, I suppose," said the Father Bear. Then turning to Teddy he said, "You eat meat, don't you?" "Yes, sir," answered Teddy, timidly. "Then that's all right," said the Father Bear. "Here, you children, take this fairy off and let him play with you."
"Would you mind telling me, Judge Keane, please," said Lucy timidly, "where Newhaven lies from here, and how far it is?" The judge raised himself on his elbow, put on his gold eye-glass, and looked along the plain. "There, straight as the crow flies, little one," he said, pointing west. "It is about thirty miles in a direct line from where we sit; by rail about fifty, I think."
"Michael will wait for us below, in one of the ship's boats. There is room for all Contarini's possessions, if we could only get at them." "Would it not be better to be content with what we have already, and to go at once?" asked Arisa rather timidly. "No," replied Aristarchi. "I am going to say good-bye to your old friend in my own way."
Then, tucking her head in his breast, hiding her face, she timidly slid her hands along his sides, pressing softly, to find the contours of his figure. Softly her hands crept over the silky back of his waistcoat, under his coats, and as they stirred, his blood flushed up, and up again, with fire, till all Siegmund was hot blood, and his breast was one great ache.
