Charlotte's fingers swept the chords, her eyes fixed adoringly on her little son's face, the while she sang on, absently, softly: "Down in my ol' cabin home, There lies my sister an' my brother. There lies my wife, the joy of my life, An' the child in the grave with its mother." But King William, far from being harrowed by the woeful enumeration, laid an imperious hand on the strings.
She said no more about the doctor's advice, or the problem of poverty. She did not cough, and the movements of her thin, well-shaped hands were sure and swift. More than once she made a pause while she pulled a daffodil toward her and gazed adoringly into its yellow cup. Peter might have been reassured, were it not for the telltale flush on her cheeks and the unnatural shine in her eyes.
It was a great day for Brenton, a red-letter day, when first the child was laid across his blanket-covered knees, while the nurse stood by, uttering many cautions and forcibly adjusting the angles of the clerical elbows, the better to support their tiny burden. Then she backed off, and stood gazing down upon the two of them adoringly. "A puffic' fibbous!" she ejaculated.
Then slowly she swung and stared at that other churning cloud behind her the crimsoned-tinted cloud of destruction. She flung out both arms impulsively. "Oh, you world!" she cried adoringly, unafraid yet worshipping. "I'd like to be the wind, so I could touch you and kiss you and beat you, and make you love me the way I love you!
Then she looked at him with Irish eyes: "Have you had your lunch, dear?" she asked. "Lunch?" He looked bewildered. "Because I'm going to fix Sophy's lunch now, and you may have yours with her, if you like. I love to wait on you, Richard," she added, and a beautiful color flooded her face. He caught his breath. When she went back to the house, his eyes followed her adoringly.
You can only do that with a tiny wild thing by being so tender of him of his little timidities and feelings so adoringly anxious not to startle him or suggest by any movement the possibility of your being a creature who COULD HURT that your very yearning to understand his tiny hopes and fears and desires makes you for the time cease to be quite a mere human thing and gives you another and more exquisite sense which speaks for you without speech.
Judge Marshall encouraged her gallantly, but with a jaunty wink at the belligerent Penny. Smiling adoringly at him again, Karen took his suggestion and led the six of Diamonds from the dummy; Penny covered it with the nine; Karen ruffed with the seven of Spades from her own hand, and Mrs. Drake lugubriously contributed the four of Diamonds. "I can get my trumps out now, can't I, Hugo?"
"Dave," whispered Belle soon after the music had stopped, "I can't get away from the belief that Dan's companion is leading him on. See! Dan now looks at her almost adoringly." Laura Bentley, too, had noticed Dan's preoccupation, but she merely smiled within herself. She did not believe that Dan could really be serious where girls were concerned.
"Very well, Treevor," she returned docilely, and leant her pretty, round, ivory-hued cheek on her hand as she looked across at me adoringly. Had I suggested cutting off her head, I believe she would have looked the same. "We must try after lunch to get some," I continued. "And don't be too submissive to me in public.
In an hour from the time they had taken possession of their quarters, they were sitting at a little table before an open window, making a breakfast of coffee and eggs. Sheba was presiding, and both men were looking at her flushed cheeks adoringly. "Is the coffee good, Uncle Tom?" she said. "Just tell me it is good." "Well," said Tom, "for the first effort of a millionairess, I should say it was."
