"Don't you worry about me," returned the girl, "Brownie and I could find the way in the dark." But when her friends were gone, Sammy, womanlike, busied herself with setting the disordered house aright before she started on her journey. Watching the clouds, she told herself that there was plenty of time for her to reach the Postoffice before the storm. It might not come that way at all, in fact.
It was once more a matter of feeling. The rather womanlike intuition which had warned him that O'Hara was concerned in young Benham's disappearance, and that the two were not far from Paris, was again at work in him, and he trusted it as he had done before. He gave a little nod of determination, as one who, for good or ill, casts a die, and he crossed the road.
Wilson," he said, without paying the slightest attention to my question, "will you tell me what I have done?" "Done?" "Or have not done? I have racked my brains stayed awake all of last night. At first I hoped it was impersonal, that, womanlike you were merely venting general disfavor on one particular individual. But your hostility is to me, personally."
Flandrau rose and walked round the table to her. "Much obliged, Miss Laura. I'll shake hands on that with you. You've guessed it. Course, me being so 'notorious' I hate to admit it, but I ain't bad any more than he is." She gave him a quick shy look. He had made a center shot she was not expecting. But, womanlike, she did not admit it. "You mean this 'Bad Bill'?" "You know who I mean all right.
Womanlike, she felt that she would have loved him just as much and more, if he were less vigorous, less powerful; and in that case the wicked government would not want him; he could stay at home and help Pali bácsi to look after his lands and his mills, and she could marry him before the spring.
Arthur Agar's only thought had been one of sudden horror. He had read the telegram over twice before going out to close his outer door. Then he came back and sat weakly down at the table where he had written more scented notes than noted themes, deliberately, womanlike, to cry. To his credit be it noted that he never thought of Stagholme, which was now his.
If she suffered a gentle snub, she hid the smart, but secretly brooded, blaming Mrs. Nelson Smith because she was asked to their house only for big parties, or when she was wanted to amuse their friends. She blamed Nelson, too; but, womanlike, blamed Annesley more.
I won't be at your council of war, but I want you to let me know just what you decide on." "Of course," he replied. "You've got a better head than most men, Sheila. I don't know what we will do haven't a notion. It looks as though we were up against a tough proposition." His dejection was apparent, and, womanlike, she tried to cheer him. Some way would be found.
For years I had been promising my wife to take her on a visit to Virginia, and now when the opportunity offered, womanlike, she pleaded her nakedness in the midst of plenty. I never had but one suit at a time in my life, and often I had seen my wife dressed in the best the frontier of Texas afforded, which was all that ought to be expected.
By then, she had time to think the matter over, and had come to the conclusion that she would say nothing about it. For, womanlike, she was half jealous of the pipe, and she was altogether afraid of two things first, that Barndale would leave her to go back to Constantinople; and next, that the Greek and he would enter on a deadly quarrel.
