Mother was upstairs with the fretful baby of the family, and there was nobody to run to. Behind the close-shut surgery-door a strange scene was going on. Sitting well back in his consulting-chair, his hands spread out, finger to finger, thumb to thumb, Doctor George was gazing sternly in silence at an eager little speaker. "Oh, do come; do, Uncle George!
'To die in the street! he cried with a smile and a shrug of his shoulders. 'You'll learn better by and by. And if he did die in the street, what then? What is that to you? 'To me! I turned and looked at him, amazed; but he had somehow shut his soul, so that I could see nothing but the deep eyes in their caves, and the smile upon the close-shut mouth. 'No more to me than to any one.
A pride, not altogether unworthy, rang in the words and for the first time Markham detected a resemblance to the father in the close-shut lips. "I do not wish to say anything against your father that is avoidable, but for your own safety and my own protection I realize that you and I must be quite open with each other." "Yes, uncle."
On the occasion of his second disappointment he had offered to await the young lady's home-coming. "There ain't no use of that, Jim," Mrs. Black had assured him. "Miss Orr's gone t' Boston to stay two days." Then she had unlatched her close-shut lips to add: "She goes there frequent, on business."
'Up with your beaver, young man, said Sir Patrick peremptorily; 'no man rides with me whose face I have not seen. A face not handsome and thoroughly Scottish was disclosed, with keen intelligence in the gray eyes, and a certain air of offended dignity, yet self-control, in the close-shut mouth.
Two months and a half wrenched from the Schedule! That sacred bill of rights not merely corrupted, but for a space nullified and cancelled! Yes, it was the ultimate sacrifice that outraged pride of intellect had demanded; but the young man would not flinch. And there were moments when Trainer Klinker was startled by the close-shut misery of his face.
The doctor's voice was sharp with fear. But Mark could not speak, and Doctor John, with a heart of lead, followed the boy into the house. "In there, Father! It's Clary, and it's all my fault!" Mark's voice had come back, but it was a mere whisper, and he pointed to the close-shut door. Turning the door-handle quickly, Doctor John nearly fell backwards.
So far from being satisfied with this resolution of my doubts with regard to the sex of my neighbor, I now found myself more uneasy and curious than before. Was she young and pretty and good? and what did she do? and what was her name? My thoughts were perpetually running up those six flights and stopping baffled at her close-shut door.
The standing water gets green scum on it. The close-shut barn breeds weevils and smut. Let the water run. Fling the seed broadcast.
But his next words were kindness alone. "There should have been two nurses all along. One forgets your youth in your efficiency. Good morning." When Priscilla stood beside Huntter again his wan face, close-shut eyes, and grim mouth almost frightened her. "I want to sleep," he said briefly. "Draw down the shades." The night nurse became a staple joke between her and Huntter.
