"So taken all in all," he drawled still beamingly, "there's nothing in the world at this particular moment, Mr. Barton that could amuse me more than to have you join my daughter in her ride this afternoon!" "Ride with me?" gasped little Eve Edgarton. "This afternoon?" floundered Barton. "Oh why yes of course! I'd be delighted! I'd be be! Only ! Only I'm afraid that !"
To crown all, Aunt Isabel came, too a talkative, clever, shrewd old lady, as young at eighty-five as she had been at thirty, thinking the Monroe stock the best in the world, and beamingly proud of her nephews and nieces, who had gone out from this humble, little farm to destinies of such brilliance and influence in the world beyond. I have forgotten Robert. Robert Monroe was apt to be forgotten.
The Signora Paula had found herself de trop in her brother's house. The Count Clemente had offered himself to the younger of his two first lodgers, the girl of fifty, and been beamingly accepted; and, though months must elapse before all the necessary preparations could be made for their marriage, the Sposa was now mistress of the house. She smiled as before, but she had her way.
She would make his breakfast beamingly, at all untimely hours, and otherwise pet and caress him, so that he might have been a knight returning wounded from some Holy War, instead of a discomfited scalp-hunter, bearing still evident traces of the "war-paint." A stern old lady told her once that such condonation of offenses was unprincipled and immoral.
We will go to Comrade Outwood and stake out another claim." Mr. Outwood received them even more beamingly than before. "Yes, Smith?" he said. "We must apologize for disturbing you, sir " "Not at all, Smith, not at all! I like the boys in my house to come to me when they wish for my advice or help."
Still, all things considered, Kate and I didn't enjoy that dinner much. We kept thinking of poor Laura and Magsie at home, dining off potatoes on Thanksgiving! But at least Aunt Susanna was satisfied. When Kate and I were washing the dishes she came out quite beamingly. "Well, my dears, I must admit that you made a very good job of the dinner, indeed. The turkey was done to perfection.
"Nice, well-bred little coon," said Rodney, patting her on the shoulder, in an exuberance of gracious approval and beamingly serene content. "I'll take you in my gig with Red Squirrel," he added, by way of reward of merit. Now Amy in her secret heart was mortally afraid of Red Squirrel, but she would have been upset ten times over by Rodney sooner than say so.
Tom Peters began to feel this, even at a time when I believed myself still to be genuinely fond of him. Considering our respective temperaments in youth, it is curious that he should have been the first to fall in love and marry. One day he astonished me by announcing his engagement to Susan Blackwood. "That ends the liquor, Hughie," he told me, beamingly. "I promised her I'd eliminate it."
While Stillwell beamingly announced this momentous news to his team and supporters Monty and Link were striding up. Both were diminutive in size, bow-legged, lame in one foot, and altogether unprepossessing. Link was young, and Monty's years, more than twice Link's, had left their mark. But it would have been impossible to tell Monty's age.
Gee, before I know whether I win or lose, I want to apologize. Maybe it was the whiskey, I don't know, but I'm an ass, a cad, a bounder everything that's rotten." He held out his hand, and the half-caste took it beamingly. "I say, Grief," he blurted out, "the boy's all right. Call the whole thing off, and let's forget it in a final nightcap."
