He kept himself casually busy, ignoring the girl. A Med Ship man has resources of study and meditation with which to occupy himself during overdrive travel from one planet to another. Calhoun made use of those resources. He acted as if he were completely unconscious of the stowaway. But Murgatroyd watched her with charmed attention. Hours after her discovery, she said uneasily, "Please?"
It would break her heart if anything happened to him anything if she were to lose him in any sense of the word." I waited a moment, thinking she would speak, prepared on my side to be as explicit as she pleased; but Mrs. Lascelles only looked at me with her mouth tight shut and her eyes wide open; and I concluded somewhat uneasily, I will confess that she saw for herself what I meant.
Jim tossed around uneasily, winning snatches of sleep, groaning, talking, abasing himself. "Oh, Belle!" he moaned aloud. "Will you ever look at me again? Oh, God! And me a preacher." Cedar Mountain was not so big but that every one knew everybody else's business; and Mary Bylow understood when she heard the name "Belle." But she didn't know just what to do. After an hour she again heard him. "Oh!
But early next morning, John being still on duty, Maria Dolores came back, booted and spurred for her journey, in tailor-made tweeds, with a little felt toque and a veil: a costume of which Annunziata's eyes were quick to catch the suggestion. "Why are you dressed like that?" she asked, uneasily. "I never saw you dressed like that before. You look as if you were going away somewhere."
I toiled up the long hill on the road to Friedberg, and from the tower at the top took a last look at the distant city, with a heart heavier than the knapsack whose unaccustomed weight rested uneasily on my shoulders. Being alone starting out into the wide world, where us yet I know no one, I felt much deeper what it was to find friends in a strange land. But such is the wanderer's lot.
In the shadow of the factory wall McGregor moved uneasily about. He felt that this was the beginning, the real birth of his movement, that these men had really come out of the ranks of labour and that in the breasts of the marching figures there in the open space understanding was growing. He muttered and walked back and forth.
The young man raised his hand. "Let her go!" he shouted. "Tweet-tweet!" sounded a whistle. The engine throbbed. The cable tightened. The little beauty began to stir uneasily in its hammock of chains. Then slowly and steadily the rock arose, and nearly as quickly as I can write the words, it was lying on the side of the trench and the derrick was being dismantled.
Senator Douglas looked uneasily over the crowd toward the spot from whence came the cry. His brow wrinkled with a frown. John Vaughan leaned toward Betty and whispered half to himself: "I wonder if those cheers were defiance after all?" But the girl was too intent on the words of the speaker to answer. His next sentence brought a smile and a nod of approval from Senator Douglas.
He moved uneasily, changed his position. "Does he know?" Eglington questioned again quietly. There was no need for Eglington to explain who he was. "Of course he does not know I said so. If he knew, do you think he'd be in Egypt and you here, my lord?" Eglington was very quiet. His intellect more than his passions were now at work. "I am not sure. You never can tell.
You can make good here and damn it, you will!" "I wish I was as sure of that as you seem to be," Ford muttered uneasily, and turned away. Mason's easy chuckle followed him, and Ford swung about and faced him again. "I haven't made any cast-iron promise " "Did I ask you to make any?" Mason's voice sharpened. "But Lordy me, Ches! How do you know I " "I know. That's enough."
