She did not know that Robert Grant Burns was perfectly conscious of her presence even when he seemed busiest, and was studying her covertly even when he seemed not to notice her at all. Of his company, Pete Lowry was the only one who did know it, but that was because Pete himself was trained in the art of observation.
We were both very impersonal and very polite, when he came in at supper time, though I think I turned a visible pink when I sat down at the table, for our eyes met there, just a moment and no more. I knew he was watching me, covertly, all the time. And I knew I was making him pretty miserable. But I wasn't the least bit ashamed of it.
That such people's feelings or judgment could affect one in any way, had never occurred to him before. He understood they had no prospects, no principles no refinement and no power. But now he had become so debased that he could not even attempt to disguise from himself his yearning to know the secret thoughts of his servants. Several times he looked up covertly at the faces of those girls.
She was prettier and sweeter than he had even fancied she would be could he ever contrive to find her all alone. He watched her covertly; the exquisite peachy skin with its pure color, and her soft brown hair dressed with a simplicity which he thought perfection, all appealed to him, and those strange violet eyes rather round and heavily lashed with brown-shaded lashes, darker at the tips.
Suddenly she was aware of some one watching her covertly through the crack of the dining-room door. "Myrtella!" she cried. "Is that you?" "Yes'm, if you please," came in strange, meek accents. "I'd like to speak with you." It was so entirely out of the course of human events for Myrtella to assume humility, that Miss Lady looked at her in amazement.
And Monticello isn't very far, Pa." "Well, well, there is plenty of time to think it over between now and January," he said. "And now I have a little favor to ask of you, honey." "Yes?" she said. The Colonel took the other armchair, stretched his feet toward the blaze, and stroked his goatee. He glanced covertly at his daughter's profile. Twice he cleared hip throat. "Jinny?"
And yet women are wonderful. You can't do your greatest work, Maraton, you never will reach your greatest work, unless a woman's hand is yours." They rode back to London in comparative silence. Selingman frankly and openly slept, with his grey hat on the back of his head, his untidy feet upon the opposite cushions, his mouth wide open. Maraton more than once found himself watching Julia covertly.
Leaning on his arm, her countenance concealed by a heavy black veil, to prevent any one from recognizing her, Hortense walked through the chambers, in which she had once been installed as a mighty and honored queen, and in which she was now covertly an exile menaced with death. The servants who conducted her were the same who had been there during the days of the emperor!
But by stratagem of a humble cowherd who loved her with a fidelity staunch unto death, Flamby secured the Dame's escape and the two fled together covertly, through the forest and by night.... A few paces beyond the giant elm, Flamby paused, breathless, looking down at the drawing which she held in her hand.
He felt, indeed, that the great outlaw had simply allowed him to run on a long rope, knowing that he must travel in a circle and eventually come back to the band. Now the pack was made he saw Jud covertly tuck some little mementoes into it and he drew Pop aside and dropped a weight of gold coins into his pocket. "You tarnation scoundrel!" began Pop huskily.
