You are of course still more shocked at hearing that I attribute to yourself any shade of so deadly a vice as that above described; and as long as you do not attribute it to yourself, my warning voice will be raised in vain: I am not, however, without hope that the vigilant self-examination, which your real wish for improvement will probably soon render habitual, may open your eyes to your danger while it can still be easily averted.
The hard look left her face; though her eyes were still averted from Jem's gaze, it was more because they were brimming over with tears, called forth by his words, than because any angry feeling yet remained. And when his manly voice died away in low pleadings, she lifted up her hands, and bent down her son's head below the level of her own; and then she solemnly uttered a blessing.
What the deuce did you do to Sissy Thomas?" "Gave him some good advice." Miller grinned. "I'll bet you did. The little cad has been poisoning the wells against you. Look there." A young woman of their class had passed into the room. Her glance had fallen upon Farnum and been quickly averted. "That's the first time Bessie Vroom ever cut you," Sam continued angrily. "Thomas is responsible.
It was of gold, set with diamonds, and the faces of the Virgin and Child were painted with exquisite delicacy. "It is a thing to say your prayers to," he said gruffly. By an effort he kept his eyes averted from the food on the table. "I met a baker on the bridge," he said, "and offered it to him for a loaf, but he refused."
"Well, she explained it pretty thoroughly. Apparently, it isn't a sudden decision," I replied, trying to choose my words, to speak composedly as I repeated the gist of our conversation.

It was the same with his constrained voice and embarrassed utterance; and if so if it was all over the pang of the thought took away from her the power of thinking.
She stared, aghast with the perception that there was some dreadful thing she didn't know; but he walked on, dropping the question angrily and turning his back to her as if he couldn't trust himself. She read his disgust in his averted, face, in the way he squared his shoulders and smote the ground with his stick, and she hurried after him and presently overtook him.
The occluded air, by its impact against the oil, heats it; the oil begins to circulate, carrying some of the air along with it, until the bubbles are dispersed and the luminous points disappear.

Ralph seated himself by her side, rested an elbow on his knees, the thumb and first finger of the uplifted hand supporting his chin. His eyes searched Darsie's face with anxious scrutiny.
