"There's been trouble down at Heeler's, you know." Faith knew, but it had not interested her. She never wished to think of Heeler's any more. It was like another part of her life a part she only wanted to forget. The Beggar Man had turned to the door. "Well, good-bye," he said constrainedly.
Zuleika laughed again constrainedly, but in a way that might have suggested that this dreadful contingency was still one that it was possible to contemplate without entire consternation. As she moved slowly towards the door she stopped, with her hand on the lock, and said tentatively: "I reckon you won't be wantin' any supper before you go?
Yet in a narrow passage she managed to touch his hand, lingered to let her husband precede them from one room to another, and once or twice looked meaningly into his eyes over McGee's shoulder. Disconcerted and embarrassed, he tried to utter a few commonplaces, but so constrainedly that even McGee presently noticed it. And the result was still more embarrassing.
Althea was troubled, and she was also ashamed of herself, but whether because of that vision of Gerald Digby, or whether because she was allowing Franklin privileges never allowed before, she did not know. Only the profundity of reverence that beamed upon her from Franklin's eyes enabled her to regain her self-respect. Smiling a little constrainedly, she drew her hand from his and rose.

To-day Mme. de Beauseant bowed constrainedly, and spoke curtly: "M. de Rastignac, I cannot possibly see you, at least not at this moment. I am engaged..."
His frankly admiring look brought a blush to her cheeks; but she only laughed a little constrainedly, and murmured that she would try to be as complacent as the occasion demanded. Events were certainly in league to lend her wedding night a remarkably close semblance to the real thing.
At first she wrote rather constrainedly but, reflecting that in any case Anna would have written a merely friendly letter, she allowed her thoughts to run freely, and the resulting epistle was an excellent one of its kind. Alma had the gift of expression and more brains than Exeter people had ever imagined she possessed.
Daniel had meant something different; he saw that Emma would not understand him. 'We see changes in life, he resumed, musingly. 'Now who'd a' thought I should end up with having more money than I. know how to use? The 'ouse has done well for eight years now, an' it's likely to do well for a good many years yet, as far as I can see. 'I am glad to hear that, Emma replied constrainedly.
She drew his attention to a tall lady who was looking rather anxiously and constrainedly about her. Her dress certainly deserved the name of magnificent.
Annesley forced her nervous limbs to slow movement, because she hoped, or dreaded anyhow, expected that one of the dozen or so unattached men would spring up and say, constrainedly, "Miss Grayle, I believe? er how do you do?" If only he might not be fat or very bald-headed! He had not described himself at all. Everything was to depend on her gray dress and the white rose.
