Mrs. McMurdoch's glance became positively beseeching, but the physician ignored it.
The inflection of the laugh made Pete go red and look challengingly from face to face, with the result that all became piously sober. "Then it is all right? I meant in no way to wound your feelings or even your susceptibilities," said Jack; and, accepting the incident as closed, he turned to the counter and asked for the Ewold mail.

Mrs. Payne nodded. Gabrielle looked at her challengingly. "It was the first time," she said. There was a pause and then she burst out passionately. "I love him ... we love each other. You can't stop us!"
She took his card from him and deliberately tore it to small bits which she blew from the palm of her gloved hand. He protested in real dismay, but she looked him challengingly, recklessly, in the eye, until he laughed, too. All this was, of course, well noticed. Keith, again characteristically, had not taken into consideration the great public.
A rush of chill air swept the group about the sprawling stove as he opened the door and made each member lift his head, each after a fashion that was startlingly indicative of the man himself.
