Bean, herself chewing calculatingly, handed Mrs. Tinneray a bit of sugared calamus-root. "Is your cousin Hen dark-complexioned like your folks?" she asked scientifically. Mrs. Tinneray, narrowing both eyes, considered. "More auburn-inclined, I should say he ain't rill smart, Hen ain't, he gets took with spells now and then, but I never held that against him." "Uh-huh!" agreed Mrs.
Around the office and along to the street of the cottages crowds were chattering, gesticulating; Ines fancied the foreign jabberers inclined to threaten. Howell Edwards at the door of his office watched them calculatingly. The lord of their destinies passed in with him, leaving Gower to study the features of the men, and Ines to reckon the chance of a fray.
"I've just made the most tremendous discovery in the history of the Solar Alliance!" Vidac eyed the professor calculatingly. He had never seen the old man excited before. "Sit down, Professor," he said. "You look as if you just walked through the New Sahara on Mars. Here, drink this!" Vidac offered the professor a glass of water and waited expectantly.
Perhaps even I should not stay on if it were not for a silly, weak feeling of obligation but I can't be sure of that." She had seen too much of men and women preening upon noble disinterested motives when in fact their real motives were the most calculatingly selfish; she preferred doing herself less than justice rather than more.
And despite his involved social and financial position, which he now recalled, it was interesting to him to see how deliberately and even calculatingly and worse, enthusiastically he was pumping the bellows that tended only to heighten the flames of his desire for this girl; to feed a fire that might ultimately consume him and how deliberately and resourcefully!
Barto paused, calculatingly, eye on victim. "The Signorina Vittoria," he resumed, "has engaged to sing on the night of the Fifteenth; has she?" A twitching of Luigi's muscles showed that he apprehended a necessary straining of his invention on another tack. "On the night of the Fifteenth, Signor Barto Rizzo? That's the night of her first appearance. Oh, yes!" "To sing a particular song?"
If we were so constituted, in general, as to make up our minds coolly and calculatingly, to fall in love sensibly, but no, with most of us, a look, a word, a pressure of the hand, a sigh, a flower or some such trifling thing, has sufficed to plunge us hoplessly into the delirium of "love."
Then, suddenly paling, with a distorted face, biting her trembling, twisted lower lip, Emma calculatingly and with good aim struck Liubka on her cheek, with all her might; from which the other went down on her knees, but got up right away, gasping for breath and stammering from the sobs. "Darlingest, don't beat me... Oh my dear, don't beat me..."
Instead, he sat stiffly erect a great portion of the time, driving with one eye cocked calculatingly upon the course of the sun, and his mind running far ahead of him, to the end of the day's route, when he would have to turn in at the cross-road that toiled up the grade to the wind-racked old Bolton place on the hill north of town.
If a first attack on a position failed, the wires from the Galland house repeated their orders to concentrate more guns and attack again. In the end the Browns always yielded, but grudgingly, calculatingly, never being taken by surprise. The few of them who fell prisoners said, "God with us! We shall win in the end!" and answered no questions.
