Lincoln, who was covertly studying Nancy, saw her move ever so slightly and her eyes dilate. "I sent word to him that I was bringing Miss Newton to see you, instead of taking her to the provost marshal, and to join us here. I think this is he coming now," as the sound of hurrying footsteps sounded outside in the corridor. Baker stepped to the door, and pulled it open. "Come in, Lloyd."
She had understood at once that the doctor and her benefactress were known to one another; and her eyes never left them, but travelled from one to the other, while her wrinkled face showed that her mind was covertly working. The doctor put some questions to her, and sounded her right side; then, turning to Helene, who had just sat down, he said: "She is suffering from hepatic colic.
Her pride was on the alert against him; she may have imagined that he was covertly smiling at her, and she no doubt tasted the ironical flavor of much of his talk and behavior, for in those days he liked to qualify his devotion to the Vervains with a certain nonchalant slight, which, while the mother openly enjoyed it, filled the daughter with anger and apprehension.
Those Brahmanas that are not censurable for anything they do, and that have no means of support assigned to them, should be searched out. Covertly or publicly do thou cherish such Brahmanas by assigning them the means of support. Such conduct always confers higher benefit upon Kshatriyas than the Rajasuya and the Horse-sacrifices. Cleansing thyself of sin, thou art sure of attaining to Heaven.
The rich and retired manufacturer has purchased Drexel Court, and it is Lady Portia's painful duty to try and marry her sisters off. The ball is a great success for Miss Edith Darrell. The men rave about her; the women may sneer, but they must do it covertly; her beauty and her grace, her elegance and high breeding, not the most envious dare dispute.
So that settles it and if it doesn't I'd like to know who's the boss of this shebang, anyhow!" Mr. Skinner glanced covertly at Captain Matt Peasley and shook his head almost imperceptibly, as who should say: "Better give in to him, Matt. I know him longer than you do; he'll have his way if it kills him."
This was safely accomplished, by Parker, while we walked round, looked knowingly at the wheels, sternly at the gate-posts, and covertly at the spectators. Then we clambered up, the host-in-himself cracked the whip, Parker gathered up his reins. "Come up, Squire! Come up, Nancy!" And the joy of the caravaneer was ours. This joy is not like the joy of other men.
To Ah Cum, who was watching her covertly, the smile was like a bit of unexpected sunshine. What with these converging roofs that shut out all but a hand's breadth of the sky, sunshine was rare at this point. If it came at all, it was as fleeting as the girl's smile. The wedding procession passed on, and the cynical rabble poured in behind. The pole-chair caravan resumed its journey.
"I am very much pleased indeed to see Mr. Bomford," she assured him. "I," he murmured, "am glad that I have seen him." Edith looked at him covertly. "I do not think," she said, "that I quite approve of your tone this afternoon." "I am quite sure," he retorted, "that I do not approve of yours." She made a little grimace at him. "Let us agree, then, to be mutually dissatisfied.
Thou art not here to conquer, but to obey." "Nay, be not wroth, my father," she answered softly; "perchance thou knowest not that she whom I serve will have none of our Egyptian dress; it is out of fashion. To wear it would have been to court suspicion also I came in haste." And as she spoke I saw that all the while she watched me covertly through the long lashes which fringed her modest eyes.
