Catching it dexterously in one hand, she twisted it up again in a loose knot, thrusting the comb carelessly through. "Drink smoke talk, Sergius!" she repeated, still smiling; "Shall I ring?" Sergius Thord stood looking at her irresolutely, with the half-angry, half-pleading expression of a chidden child. "As you please, Lotys!" he answered.
I imagine that Greek children, three thousand years ago, must have watched, like the Japanese children of to-day, for a chance to steal some of the good things offered to the ghosts of the ancestors; and I fancy that Greek parents must have chidden quite as gently as Japanese parents chide in this era of Meiji, mingling reproof with instruction, and hinting of weird possibilities.*
They decry lust in men, in order that, they who are chidden desisting from women, the latter may be left to the chiders; they condemn usury and unjust gains, to the intent that, it being entrusted to them to make restitution thereof, they may, with that which they declare must bring to perdition him who hath it, make wide their gowns and purchase bishopricks and other great benefices.
Lucina remembered Elmira well enough, and had thought she remembered Jerome since last Sunday, when her father, calling to mind their frequent meetings in years back, had chidden her lightly for not speaking to him. "He has grown and changed so, father," Lucina had said; "I did not mean to be discourteous, and I will remember him another time."
His look was gentle and commanding, his voice soft yet firm, and the worldly Abbe felt somewhat like a chidden child as he met the gaze of those clear true eyes that were undarkened by any furtive hypocrisies or specious meanings. "I suppose it is, but unfortunately I have made the worst of it," he answered, "and having made the worst I see no best. Who is that singing?"
It's all wrong. I'm all wrong. We can't do it. I shouldn't have kissed you. I shouldn't have touched you shouldn't have let you come to me like this. You must go now, dear. I am sorry." Ruth faced him in silence a moment then bowed her head, turned and walked away to the door meekly like a chidden child. Her loosened hair fell like a golden shower over her shoulders.
So the savage within me was tamed, and I, who but a few minutes before had been ready to take two lives at the prompting of a single word, dropped my dagger and stood with bowed head, humble as a chidden child before her whose lightest word was then my most sacred law. I raised my eyes and looked at her to see if my words had pleased her.
Constance sits down like a chidden child. Exit COL. G. Con. I must have offended you more than I thought, Arthur! What can I say? It is so stupid to be always saying I am sorry. Ger. No, no. But some one may call. Con. You mean more than that. Will you not let me understand? Ger. Your friend Mr. Waterfield called a few minutes ago. He will be here again presently, I dare say. Con. Indeed! Ger.
"And so, my headstrong daughter, it is to that strong will of thine, and the reckless courage I have sometimes chidden, that we owe our lives and our safety today?" he said. Culverhouse looked up eagerly. "What sayest thou, sir?" he asked, whilst Kate's face crimsoned over from brow to chin.
Fleming, in her turn, resented being chidden by this mite who appeared even younger than she really was. But it pleased her, as usual, to assume the injured role. "Well, Miss," she said, "'tain't for me to contradick you nor your ma. I can't help havin' my hown feelin's an' hopinions; but the Lord made me to be down-trod, an' I'm willin' to habide 'is will an' stay down-trod."
