It was this purpose I desired to effect; and, though hopeless it might appear, I continued the only kind of appeal that, with such a spirit, seemed to promise any chance of success. "You dare not play fair in this game?" I said, banteringly. "You are a coward; and would murder me. You want the first shot: you know you do?"
So I just got off my horse and climbed up here, to satisfy my curiosity." Leviatt's hand fell away from the holster, a guilty grin overspreading his face. "I reckon we wasn't rehearsin' any scene," he said, trying to make the words come easily. "I was just tellin' your sister that " Miss Radford laughed banteringly.
Noting the change of countenance which I sought in vain to control, he went on banteringly. "Beware M. le Capitaine, half the men at Sceaux are in love with her, but she has the execrable taste to prefer her own husband. Such women destroy half the zest of living. Beside, the Chevalier has a marvelous sword and a most unpleasant temper. Bah! how ludicrous it is for men to anger at trifles."
"How tenderly you dwell on that word 'hope," she said banteringly, "it almost makes me envious." "Your resemblance almost makes me forget." "But not quite?" "No, not quite," he confessed, smiling back into her quizzing eyes. They went out into the hall together, only to meet with Doctor Fairbain at the door.
Desmond answered banteringly: "You will hate to the end, Molly?" "Sure, my hates are as enduring as my loves," said Molly. "You can always know how you will find Molly Healy." "I don't think you are quite fair to Gerard," said Desmond. "Now, tell us about Sylvia Jackson, Desmond," said Kathleen, anxious to terminate the discussion.
"Doesn't anybody know " "You know as much as all of us. Of course," he added banteringly, "there's no denying a woman, when she starts. He might tell you!" The speech startled her, and she blushed. "Now, that's sheer impudence!" she retorted. But he continued to look at her with a curious expression. How much had he guessed? In her confusion an impulse seized her.
By the end of the third act Joe's emotions were so wrought upon by the unhappy fate of the heroine, that he rose abruptly and, muttering something about "gittin' some gum," fled to the rear. When he returned and squeezed his way back to his seat he found "Miss Beaver" with red eyes and a dejected mien. "What's the matter with you?" he asked banteringly.
"Do you know that you are turning the universal legatee out of doors, and as yet his right has not been called in question?" "Yes, it has," said Fraisier; "we are opposing the transfer of the property." "And upon what grounds?" "You shall know that by and by, my boy," Fraisier replied, banteringly.
She spoke in Samoan, the language she generally used when we were alone, for she could express herself better in it even than in English, so she said, though both Lucia and myself had often told her, not banteringly, that her English was sweet to hear.
But of the treasure there was no sign that I could discover, in any direction unless it were artfully concealed in one or more of the many small holes or recesses that I saw here and there in the rocky walls. Lotta observed my perplexity and laughed heartily. "Well, Dick, where is the treasure?" she banteringly demanded.
