She leaned forward with one of her legs crossed over the other, her arms extended and foreshortened, her hands locked together round her knee. Her beautiful head was bent a little, broodingly, and her splendid face seemed to look down at life.
'Halloa, Claire! I say, Claire, there's a letter for you. It came by the second post. I say, Claire, it's got an American stamp on it. Can I have it, Claire? I haven't got one in my collection. His sister regarded him broodingly. 'For goodness' sake don't bellow like that! she said. 'Of course, you can have the stamp. I don't want it. Where is the letter?
The poor fellow grew green with terror, and fell upon his knees before me. "Get my dressing things ready," said I, in a more subdued tone. "I did not mean to terrify you but beware of what I told you." While Antoine occupied himself with the preparations for my toilette, I sat broodingly over the wood embers, thinking of my fate. A knock came to the door.

From where I stood I could see on the opposite bank the heap of stones, perceptibly increased since my last visit, marking the deserted grave of Brimstone Billy. I strained my eyes broodingly at it for some minutes, and then descended the river bank and entered the boat. "Good evenin t'your honor," said the ferryman, and set to work to draw the boat over hand by a rope stretched across the water.
Joyselle started nervously. "Un orage," he said; "I I hate thunder." "Do you? I like it." Together they went to the window and looked up at the threatening sky. A whirl of dust met them, and they drew quickly back, his sleeve brushing against her shoulders. "It will be bad," he said, broodingly. "Yes." She felt breathless and welcomed the coming storm as suiting her mood.
