Lucy's attention being slyly drawn to these phenomena by David's friend Talboys, she smiled politely, though somewhat constrainedly; but the gentlemen found it a source of infinite amusement during the whole ride, which, by the way, was not a very long one, for Miss Fountain soon expressed a wish to turn homeward. David felt guilty, he scarce knew why. The promised happiness was wormwood.
The others laughed, some contemptuously, glancing at their own well-equipped animals the while, some constrainedly, for they knew the approaching guest, and felt a slight compunction in seeming to side with Mr. Ferris. Barton began to smile stiffly, but presently bit his lip and drew his brows together.
"Arthur," he suddenly exclaimed, "what on earth is the matter, lad? You do look pretty well knocked up." Carroll loosened his wife's arm and gave her an exceedingly gentle push. He laughed constrainedly at the same time. "Anna is about right," he said. "I am starved. Wait until I have eaten my breakfast before you pass judgment on my appearance."
A pause, then constrainedly, "Your guess was right." "And was that why you sent for me?" The assent of silence. "You thought perhaps you might care for me?" It seemed almost true, with him looking so earnestly and hopefully at her, and in the moonlight moonlight that can soften even falsehood until true and false seem gently to merge. She hesitated to say No.
But he did not connect any further ideas with that meeting; it was a long time ago, and "isn't she going to give me anything to eat?" he thought, and listened unsympathetically to her heavy breathing. The sailors sat looking at her constrainedly; a solemn silence lay on their mist-wreathed faces; they were like drunken men standing about a grave.
The preparations for the meal went on, somewhat constrainedly on the part of Bill and Halloway, and presently were ended. Then the men attended to it with appetites born of the open and of action. Joan sat apart from them on the bank of the brook, and after she had appeased her own hunger she rested, leaning back in the shade of an alderbush.
"Lyin' among the rotten quartz of the vein was a pick," he said, constrainedly; "and the face of the vein sorter looked ez if it had been worked at. Follering the line outside to the base of the hill there was signs of there having been an old tunnel; but it had fallen in, and was blocked up." "Well?" said Mrs. Mulrady, contemptuously.
It is not knowledge, then, that is incompatible with beauty; there cannot be too much knowledge, but it must have passed through many people who it is to be feared must be both ugly and disagreeable, before beauty or grace will have anything to say to it; it must be so diffused throughout a man's whole being that he shall not be aware of it, or he will bear himself under it constrainedly as one under the law, and not as one under grace.
"It was valueless, of course, but still to a convict?" "You are not angry?" "Oh, no! Why should I be angry?" she laughed constrainedly. "It was a strange fancy for the man to have, that's all." "I suppose you would not give me another rose, if I asked you." "Why not?" said she, turning away uneasily. "You? You are a gentleman." "Not I you don't know me." "What do you mean?"
You know the eagerness with which he has pressed on the suit against me in behalf of this lady, the open object of which is to drive your lordship to an avowal of what I must ever call your most unhappy marriage, the point to which my lady also is willing, at any risk, to urge you." Leicester smiled constrainedly.
