He stepped back with a gesture of defeat but his feet gripped at the floor like a boxer's and his eyes fixed burningly on the point of Ted's jaw. Wait a split-second he wasn't near enough now there! His fist landed exactly where he had meant it to and for an instant he felt as if he had broken all the bones in his hand.
His blue eyes were fixed burningly upon her, and as she brushed him he drew in a hard breath, which she hearing, turned slowly and let her own eyes fall upon his face. "You did not marry," she said. "No, I did not marry," he answered, in a low, bitter voice. "'Twas your ladyship who did that." She faintly, slowly smiled.
Something in the run of the unaccented French: 'Son amour, mon ami': drove the significance of the bitterness of the life she had left behind her burningly through him. This was to have fled from a dragon! was the lover's thought: he perceived the motive of her flight: and it was a vindication of it that appealed to him irresistibly.
At that moment her aunt's face seemed wonderful to Nedda; so quiet, yet so burningly alive. "Peace! There is no peace in this world. There is death, but no peace!" And, moving nearer to Tod, she rested her hand on his shoulder, looking, as it seemed to Nedda, at something far away, till John said: "That's hardly the point, is it? We should be awfully glad to know that there'll be no more trouble.
But look here, Lady Evesham, you must have a nurse." "Oh, not yet!" said Avery. "I am quite strong now. I am used to nursing. I have no other call upon me. Let me do this!" "None?" he said. His tone re-called her. She coloured burningly. "My husband would understand," she said, with difficulty. He passed the matter by. "Will you promise to send me a message if you find night-nursing a necessity?"
The invalid had chosen an inopportune moment: despite the subdued light of the chamber, it was high noon and the sun shone burningly outside, and Bruce, who had just eaten a hearty dinner, was utterly devoid of sentiment and indifferent to nice effects. There was a tumbler of dewy roses on a little table beside the bed, and he picked out one, and, sitting down, began eating the leaves one by one.
Yours ever, "Hugh." Something within moved Doris to raise her eyes suddenly, and instantly she encountered Jeff's fixed upon her. The flush in her cheeks deepened burningly. With an effort she spoke: "Hugh Chesyl wants to know if he may come to see us." "I thought you asked him," said Jeff. A little quiver of resentment went through her; she could not have said wherefore.
Shaking at that quiet form, sobs that were full of voice, tearing raw from her throat, she fell to kissing the sunken face, enclosing it, stroking it, holding her streaming gaze closely and burningly against the closed lids. "Mamma, I swear to God I'll take you! Answer me, mamma! The bank-book you've got it! Why don't you wake up mamma? Help!"
She hardly saw that one of the ways was that of breeding; but she felt that he jarred upon her constantly, in their intimacy, their helpless, dreadful intimacy. In contrast, the thought of her husband had been with her, burningly.
They strained every effort to reach the distant object, but it was now midday and the sun shone burningly upon them, Antonia could not long endure this rapid progress; added to which the fearful whirlwind soon arose, and the figure that had been scarcely visible before faded from their eyes, like some phantom of the mist in autumn.
