"Waymark," he began, reddening as he still always did when greatly moved, "I fear I have been behaving very foolishly. Many a time I have wished to speak out to you plainly, but a sort of delicacy a wrong kind of delicacy, I think prevented me. I can't keep this attitude any longer. I must tell you how things are going on, and you must give me what help you can.
Bubbles spoke lightly, but she looked vexed. Blanche Farrow felt sorry she had said anything. Bubbles was behaving very nicely just now. It was the greatest comfort to have her here. So she said, smiling, "Oh, well, I shan't regret your trying something of the kind if you can galvanize these dull folk into life." "I'll do more than that," said Bubbles easily. "I'll give them creeps! But, Blanche?
"You are behaving very stubbornly ungratefully," said Miss Vane. Lemuel lifted his head; his lip quivered a little. "I don't think you've got any right to say I'm ungrateful."

Although I had seen a great battle before, and a hundred times the carnage, this appeared to me to be horrible; and I was at first inclined to fall upon our men for behaving so.
Mrs Verloc, as if relieved by the outburst, was very far from behaving noisily now. She was pitiful. “Tom, you can’t throw me off now,” she murmured from the floor. “Not unless you crush my head under your heel. I won’t leave you.” “Get up,” said Ossipon.
