Pem looked adoringly at her handiwork. "A besieged Jewish city, away back in King David's time! To be sure, one reads of it in in what's a bloodthirsty chapter of the Old Testament!
One sees them together still, a curious couple, strangely united in those artless pages, under the magical illumination of that dawn of eighty years ago: the polished high fine gentleman with the whitening hair and whiskers and the thick dark eyebrows and the mobile lips and the big expressive eyes; and beside him the tiny Queen fair, slim, elegant, active, in her plain girl's dress and little tippet, looking up at him earnestly, adoringly, with eyes blue and projecting, and half-open mouth.
"Getting to be quite a mechanic, Ben." "I'll say so!" "If you get stuck, come yank me out of the Old Home." "Aw rats, boss. I'll finish it. You beat it." Ben grinned at Milt adoringly. Milt stripped off his overalls and derby-crown, and washed his big, firm hands with gritty soft soap.
Another sweet moment of nearness and the misty white figure beside him would fade into the darkness forever, pass forever out of his sight. Dearer than all the joys of Paradise was that black head, that wondrous face with its strength and its tenderness so adoringly mingled. The one supreme thing in all the universe was this woman, and she was passing.
Lancaster often gave him an early dinner, and hung over him adoringly while he ate it, because he so hated to dine with the boarders. Susan loaned him money, Virginia's prayers were all for him, and Georgie laughed at his jokes and quoted him as if he had been the most model of brothers.
Gila met him with fluttering delight, poutingly reproaching him for not writing oftener, calling him to order for looking solemn, adoringly pretty herself in a little frilly pink frock that gave her the look of a pale anemone, wind-blown and sweet and wild.
But since she did not return this liking Chum was well content to keep away from her. He was the more content, because five-year-old Olive had flung herself, with loud squeals of rapture, bodily on the dog; and had clasped her fat little arms adoringly round his massive furry throat in an ecstasy of delight. Chum had never before been brought into such close contact with a child.
Listen, my daughter: I myself, while still king of Lydia, often sacrificed in sincere devotion to the Apollo of the Greeks, without a fear that in so doing I should offend the Lydian sun-god Sandon; the Ionians pay their worship to the Asiatic Cybele, and, now that I have become a Persian, I raise my hands adoringly to Mithras, Ormuzd and the lovely Anahita.
For she, girl-like, had fallen dumbly and adoringly in love with this beautiful stranger but a few years her senior. And now the stranger appeared as an embodiment of unknown emotions and energies altogether beyond the scope of her small imagination. Her innocent stare lost its ruminant quality, became alarmed, tearful even, while she instinctively edged her chair closer to her father's.
He had accused her of not taking him seriously, and she had replied as from her it couldn't frighten him that she took him religiously, adoringly. She had laughed again, as she had laughed before, on his producing for her that good right word about the happy issue of his connection with the Prince with an effect the more odd perhaps as she had not contested its value.
