And yet it was not all that might have been desired, only fifty pounds! he had been buoying himself up by vain thoughts of how James this time, having been so long writing, would send a larger sum, which would at once tide him over the Tozer business, and on this account had been giving himself no trouble about it.
He could imagine the damp touch of very expectant fingers; the dying look of life-drinking eyes; and, oh! the helplessness of her limbs as she sat buoying a heart drowned in bliss.
But she could think of no decent excuse for remaining away. And she was still buoying herself up with the thought that Guy's silence could not last much longer. She was bound to hear from him soon. She went to the Ball, therefore, feeling tired and dispirited, and looking quite passee, as her step-mother several times assured her.
"We got to keep a stiff upper lip, baby sister," she would say, with an encouraging pat. And her smile was always hopeful and cheering. Mrs. Oliver came daily, and spent her time with Marylyn. She did not feel that Dallas needed buoying Dallas, quiet, self-poised, and staunch. Yet, all the while, the elder girl was growing wan under the strain.

He is going to grant special privileges to every family that has met with loss. They are to be given the first houses that are finished."
The long end, leading us seaward, was next put round the drum and a mile of it picked up; but then, fearing another tangle, the end was cut and buoyed, and we returned to grapple for the three-wire cable. All this is very tiresome for me. The buoying and dredging are managed entirely by W-, who has had much experience in this sort of thing; so I have not enough to do and get very homesick.
About that time I used to go to the bow of the ship, when great waves were buoying it up, and repeat, with my hair streaming behind my head, 'And the waves bound beneath me, as a steed That knows his rider!
It would have saved a lot of trouble if he had fallen in love with Rose, she reflected; and then the old thrill of triumph went through her, temporarily buoying her up. She had been preferred to Rose. She had beaten Rose on her own ground, she the little, insignificant adjunct of the de Vigne party! She was glad oh, she was very glad! that Rose was to have so close a view of her final conquest.
