The children soon saw that father was going his way and mother hers; they were not unaware of the fact that their parents cordially distrusted each other and even went so far as to lay traps for each other.
Dysart, strolling about, booked a dance or two, performed creditably, made his peace, for the sake of peace, with Sylvia Quest, whose ignorant heart had been partly awakened under his idle investigations. But this was Sylvia's second season, and she would no doubt learn several things of which she heretofore had been unaware.
Though she was invariably polite to every one, she walked and talked only with him or the children. She was, of course, above the social level of the second- class; but this the English did not resent, because they understood it, nor the Americans, because they were unaware of it. On the other hand, English and Americans alike resented Byrd, whom they could neither place nor understand.
Yet in a curious way he seemed unaware of her. No excitement came to him. Decidedly there was something unsensual about his love if it was love. It might be something else. It is difficult for an extremely married man to distinguish offhand. He desired nothing more than to stand still and close his eyes and permit himself to shine. Vague words traced his emotions.

They were quite unaware that the shed-walls were so thin that he could hear their words as he passed. "Howsomever, 'twas I put her up to it! 'Nothing venture nothing have, I said. If I hadn't she'd no more have been his mis'ess than I." "'Tis my belief she knew there was nothing the matter when she told him she was..."
As she read she was unaware of the giggling boys and girls who came in noisily, and made dates, and were coldly frowned on by the austere Miss Perkins, the librarian. She would read until the fading light would remind her that the short fall or winter day was drawing to a close.
"'My name is Kensett, I said, 'Harold Kensett, of New York. "'Student? "'Er a little. "'Student of diamonds? "I smiled. 'Oh, I see you know who my great-aunt was, I said. "'I know her, he said. "'Ah perhaps you are unaware that my great-aunt is not now living. "'I know her, he repeated, obstinately. "I bowed. What a crank he was! "'What do you study?
