His whole nature yearned over her, as the wife of his youth, the mother of his poor boy.
It was pitch-dark in the dormitory, but Mike could follow the invaders' movements as clearly as if it had been broad daylight. They had opened the door and were listening. Jellicoe's breathing grew more asthmatic; he was flinging himself into his part with the whole-heartedness of the true artist. The creak was followed by a sound of whispering, then another creak.
Even as he stands, he would do wonders with Bob Acres and I'd give four dollars any day to see him play Marguerite Gautier. But enough of theatres! There are two night restaurants in London which should be mentioned here. Let what little fame they may attain from being set down in these pages be theirs. They more nearly approximate to youthful whole-heartedness than any institutions in the city.
In his strong arms he held her in a long, tight embrace, kissing her upon the lips in a frenzy of satisfaction long, sweet kisses which she reciprocated with a whole-heartedness that told him of her devotion.
