He who knew so much of mankind, who had lived so long at the court, and had coldly studied every stage of human nature, where unbridled human nature ever ruled the hour, knew what he felt; and it was as though he had received a sharp wound that thrust him through, body and heart and soul, and cleft his cold pride in two.
Has he said anything to make you discontented?" He was sure that now she paled. "What makes you ask?" "Oh a number of things. I've seen you with him more or less; felt he had some influence over you." Tom was blundering now and knew it. She looked at him coldly. "I have been with the Marquis very little save when others have been about. He has no influence over me.
Mrs Belfield again pressed her to sit down, but she would not again listen to her, coldly saying "I am sorry you troubled Mr Belfield with any mention of what passed between his sister and me, but should you speak of it again, I beg you will explain to him that he had no concern in that little transaction, which belonged wholly to ourselves."
He won't do it any harm, and your brother will never know a thing about it." Leslie's eyes were flashing, and her head was held haughtily; but she kept her hands firmly on the wheel. "Your friends will have to get out, Myrtle," she said coldly. "I can't help you out in any scheme I don't understand. You'll have to go to some one else for that kind of help." Myrtle pouted.
Her question and her movement were evidently in conciliation. Was the conciliation prompted by coquetry, or by a sentiment more innocent and artless? Graham doubted, and replied coldly, as he bent over the print, "I once stayed there a few days, but my recollection of it is not sufficiently lively to enable me to recognize its features in this design."
If he should come and speak to her and he looked as if he were going to work round that way she should just say to him, "Yes, sir," or "No, sir," very coldly. She couldn't help it if he did think her dry; if he were a little more dry, it might be better for him. What was the matter with him? Oh, she thought she had mentioned that; he was a mesmeric healer, he made miraculous cures.
In addition to this, her father, in whose mechanical abilities she had supreme faith, had constructed that pathway especially for her pleasure. So for several reasons her pride took fire, and she answered coldly: "The path is perfectly safe. My father himself watched the greater portion of its building."
At the door the Montague girl called to an approaching group who seemed to have heard by wireless or occult means the report of new activity in the casting office. "Hurry, you troupers. You can eat to-morrow night, maybe!" They hurried. She turned to Merton Gill. "Seems like old times," she observed. "Does it?" he replied coldly.
Considerably more than five minutes had elapsed before the figure of the secretary appeared: her face wore an expression of proud indifference, and at the sight of May's subdued, timid air, she smiled coldly. "Why have you been so long?" cried Lady Ogram. "I came as soon as I could," was the clear reply. "Now listen to me, Constance," broke vehemently from the bloodless lips.
"How did you find it?" she repeated sharply. "With my ears and nose," replied Low gravely. "With your nose?" "Yes; I smelt it." Still fresh with the memory of his picturesque attitude, the young man's reply seemed to involve something more irritating to her feelings than even that absurd anticlimax. She looked at him coldly and critically, and appeared to hesitate whether to proceed.
