After a few more words of funeral oration, in which all present spoke from the heart, the chevalier took Madame du Bousquier's arm, and, gallantly placing it within his own, pressed it adoringly as he led her to the recess of a window. "Are you happy?" he said in a fatherly voice. "Yes," she said, dropping her eyes.
The man she loved was the man who had shown the qualities of his mind in the verses with which the Court was ringing; the man who had that morning given proof of his high mettle and knightly prowess by the deeds of arms he had performed. I was that man not he at whom so adoringly she looked.
Yet, with an agonized pang, he observed her gaze adoringly and eagerly at the tall stranger's hard face; he saw her quiver at the sound of his harsh, gruff voice. Olafaksoah's brutal masculinity for the time dominated the shrinking femininity of the girl. Ootah saw Annadoah beseechingly, almost fawningly, touch the white chief's horny hand and nestle it close against her cheek.
Then they went down to the cool shade by the creek, and Junior threw stones, and splashed fat hands in the shallows, and his mother watched him adoringly. It never entered her head that she was anything but privileged to be able to slave for him. He was always and supremely worth while. Nancy's only terrors were that something would happen to rob her of the honour.
Meantime, he looked at her adoringly, insinuated compliments, performed little services, walked his horse much by her side, did his best in conversation, and in all ways tried to outshine the Lieutenant. He supposed that he did outshine him. A man of thirty always believes that he appears to better advantage than a man of twenty-three or four.
Never was father more utterly devoted to the fruit of his loins than this gulled fellow to the strange child to whom the mother did not even by kindly inactivity give him a borrowed right. The more carefully she sought to separate the child from him, the more adoringly and tenaciously did he cling to it.
She laughed a little, but her eyes were wet and shining. Rupert took her face between his hands and looked into it adoringly. "Don't be frightened, Sheba," he said; "don't be unhappy. Lovely darling, I will take care of you." She pressed her soft cheek against his hand. "I know you will," she said, "and of Uncle Tom, too. I couldn't be unhappy we all three love each other so.
She dimpled up at him, snuggling herself in the arm that still encircled her shoulders. "Of course it will." She balanced her racquet on the top of his head as he bent adoringly over her. "Of course it will, unless your grim old Presbyterians manse all the life out of me." "If it ever begins, tell me," he begged, "and we'll join the Salvation Army. There's life enough even for you."
"Dreaming again, little Mom? You're incurable!" And Beryl, with a laugh, dropped upon the ground close to the hammock, one hand closing over her mother's. "It's a bit of a cat-nap I'm stealing," fibbed Mother Moira, blushing like a girl. Her eyes lingered adoringly on the glowing, flushed face close to hers. "Where have you been, Beryl?" "Susy coaxed me off to her fairy spring.
"The man that mends the boats says I'll have an air-ship before I die, Aunt Kate." She gave Worth a sudden little squeeze, curiously jubilant at the possibility of his having an air-ship before he died. And she viewed the city of sky-scrapers adoringly tenderly mistily. "Oh Worthie," she whispered, "isn't it lovely to be getting home?"
