Presently they came trooping through the hall and out into the kitchen, laughing and chattering gaily. They did not see Matthew, who shrank bashfully back into the shadows beyond the woodbox with a boot in one hand and a bootjack in the other, and he watched them shyly for the aforesaid ten minutes as they put on caps and jackets and talked about the dialogue and the concert.

And there were the usual pictures of libraries, and playgrounds, and tennis courts. "Such nice-looking girls!" said Sandy. "Oh, Mother says that they are splendid girls," Owen said, bashfully eager, "just the kind that go in for trained nursing, you know, or stenography, or bookkeeping." "They must be a solid comfort, those girls," said Mrs.

Dorcas rose and went behind her husband, took his head in her two faithful hands, kissed his forehead, and went upstairs. "Little Dorcas" was fastening her hair in countless papillotes. She smiled bashfully, as her mother entered the room, and showed her white, even teeth, between her rosy lips. "I wonder if I ever did look so pretty as that child does!" said the mother to herself.

There was, therefore, more assurance in his voice as he answered: 'She is safely through the worst of her trouble, but I am greatly anxious yet. She is very weak. I fear anything that might upset her. The Squire's voice came quick and strong: 'There must be no upset! And now tell me about my son? He spoke the last word half with pride, half bashfully.

She coquetted with the question till they came near the mouth of a dark lane, called Lovers' Walk; then, as he insisted on an answer, she hung her head bashfully, and coughed a little cough. At which preconcerted signal a huge policeman sprang out of the lane and collared Mr. Green. On this Peggy, who was all Lie from head to heel, uttered a little scream of dismay and surprise. Mr. Green laughed.

O auspicious one, O thou of excellent grace, we desire to know this, do thou therefore tell us." Thereupon she replied bashfully unto those foremost of celestials, "Know me as Saryati's daughter, and Chyavana's wife." Thereat the Aswins again spake unto her, smiling. "What for, O fortunate one, hath thy father bestowed thee on a person who is verging on death?

'Oh, Mrs. Corney, what an Angel you are! The lady was not proof against this burst of feeling. She sank into Mr. Bumble's arms; and that gentleman in his agitation, imprinted a passionate kiss upon her chaste nose. 'Such porochial perfection! exclaimed Mr. Bumble, rapturously. 'You know that Mr. Slout is worse to-night, my fascinator? 'Yes, replied Mrs. Corney, bashfully.

"Nice trick, eh?" laughed one. "Sam got his all right. 'Minds him right for being so damned fresh." They surveyed Ootah. "Slick little devil," one said, handing Ootah his gun. "Take it, son," he said, with maudlin magnanimity. "You've got nerve!" Ootah smiled bashfully, and shook his head in quiet refusal.

"Good-day!" said Carl, pleasantly, noticing that the boy regarded him with interest. "Good-day!" returned the country lad, rather bashfully. "Can you tell me if there is any place near where I can buy some dinner?" "There ain't no tavern, if that's what you mean. I'm goin' home to dinner myself." "Where do you live?" "Over yonder." He pointed to a farmhouse about a dozen rods away.

Stytchkin began loudly blowing his nose, while the matchmaker turned crimson, and looking bashfully at him, asked: "And how much do you get, Nikolay Nikolayitch?" "I? Seventy-five roubles, besides tips. . . . Apart from that we make something out of candles and hares." "You go hunting, then?" "No. Passengers who travel without tickets are called hares with us." Another minute passed in silence.
