Death was in his heart. He saw his familiar, luxurious room as in a dream, and Jane, anxious-eyed, looking into the fire, and Barney Bill a little way off, clutching his hard felt hat against his body; but his eyes were fixed on the strange, many-passioned, unbalanced man who claimed to be nay, who was his father. "When I first met you that night my heart went out to you," he was saying.
On her return to the marble house, Justine Delande had been welcomed by the anxious-eyed apparition of Nadine Johnstone, who burst into her room in a storm of tears. "I have been so frightened," she cried as she clasped her returning governess in her trembling grasp. "My father has just had a terrible seizure an attack while riding out on business.
"I said that we didn't keep boarders," reiterated the lady distinctly. "Furthermore, we do need the room ourselves." "Yes, yes, of course; I understand," broke in Mr. Smith, as if in hasty conciliation. "I think Mr. Chalmers meant that perhaps one of you" he glanced uncertainly at the anxious-eyed little woman at his left "might er accommodate me.
It was quite late when he arrived, but he had already notified Miss Roemer by telegram as to his coming, with a request that she should be ready to see him. He found her waiting for him, pale and anxious-eyed, when he arrived. "I have been to Frankfurt am Main," he said, "and I have seen Mr. Pernburg " "Yes, yes, that is the name; now I remember," interrupted the girl eagerly.
Two of the men and the cub Tom, were missing a fact which spread like wildfire over the boat. The passengers came flocking to the forward gangway, ladies and all, anxious-eyed, white-faced, and talked in awed voices of the dreadful thing. And often and again I heard them say, 'Poor fellows! poor boy, poor boy! By this time the boat's yawl was manned and away, to search for the missing.
Chris, however, heard nothing more except the little that the novice-master chose to tell him, and felt a certain contempt for the anxious-eyed monks who broke the silence by whispers behind doors, and the peace of the monastery by their perturbed looks. Even when a little later in the summer the commissioner came down to tender the oath of succession Chris heard little and cared less.
But now shouts are heard, and vicious cries, as several horses, refusing, swerve violently; there is a crash! a muffled cry some one is down. Then, as Barnabas watches, anxious-eyed, mindful of the Viscount's injured arm "Moonraker" shoots forward and has cleared it gallantly.
Over at the school-house that night, when Miss Satterly's little, gold watch told her it was seven-thirty, she came out of the corner where she had been whispering with the Little Doctor and faced a select, anxious-eyed audience. Even Weary was not as much at ease as he would have one believe, and for the others they were limp and miserable. She went straight at her subject.
Nor would any one have recognized in the anxious-eyed woman before her the beautiful creature who had first stirred Jeffrey Masters out of his years of celibate thought. Without a word Nan turned back to the parlor. When she reappeared she was buckling a revolver belt about her slim waist. The two heavy holsters it supported were almost incongruous on so slight a figure. Elvine watched her.
They might have noted in his manner a continual restlessness; a wandering about the mill from room to room; prying into odd corners here and there; pounding upon the beams and partitions; poking under stair-ways; rummaging into long unused chutes and bins; for ever hunting, anxious-eyed; as though the mill had an evil and troublous influence over his spirits.
