Lee thought she had tripped, he lunged forward, but she fell crumpling on the floor. "It's this hellish heat," he asserted, lifting her to the bed. Her lips were open and dry, and her eyes, without vision, stared at the ceiling. Lee wet a handkerchief, dabbling it over her face; he had never before, he realized, seen a woman faint.
"Scotland Yard." George Grodman read this letter with annoyance, and crumpling up the paper, murmured scornfully, "Edward Wimp!" "Yes, but what will become of the Beautiful?" said Denzil Cantercot. "Hang the Beautiful!" said Peter Crowl, as if he were on the committee of the Academy. "Give me the True." Denzil did nothing of the sort. He didn't happen to have it about him.
Molly, risen on her pillow, looked at it, at her, her eyes growing big. She was frightened, and cowered a little, crumpling some letters in her lap. "Don't look at me like that, Malise," she said. "I've some of the money you gave me left I'll help to pay it." That she was afraid only because of the bill! "Oh " Alexina breathed it rather than uttered it.
But when she opened the door of the living-room in the little house that sat so close to the crumpling lap and crash of the tide, and saw him, his pipe in his hand, half rising from his chair by the fire and turning around to see who had entered, she could hardly speak his name "David."
She pushed back her chair, crumpling the letter in her hand; but as she did so, her eyes again fell on her reflection. She could not go to her husband with such a face! If she was not afraid, why did she look like that? Well she was afraid! It would be easier and simpler to admit it. She was afraid afraid for the first time afraid for her own happiness!
The doctor slipped a coin into his palm and rose, crumpling Thea's letter in his hand and thrusting the others into his pocket unopened. He went back to the desk in the lobby and beckoned to the clerk, upon whose kindness he threw himself apologetically. "Harry, I've got to pull out unexpectedly.
With a choking exclamation, he caught the new doll to him along with the old, and held both tight. Then dropping to the mattress, he laid the pair side by side before crumpling down with them, digging his nose into one of Edwarda's fragrant sleeves. Not so the sterling Letitia, who lay staring, open-eyed, at the ceiling.
"Hydrocephalus!" murmured O'Connell, staring at his tiny patient, "hydrocephalus, without a doubt. Eh? nurse!" "Yes, perhaps! I don't know, doctor." "Oh, not a doubt of it, not a doubt," repeated O'Connell, and then came a flicker of the child's eyelids and a weak crumpling of the tiny hand. O'Connell caught his breath and clawed at his beard.
So there was nothing for it but presently to give up that futile tugging and jerking, and to compromise by crumpling these parchments. "This is my answer," said Jurgen heroically, and with some admiration of himself, but still a little dashed by the uncalled-for toughness of the parchments.
It was like it was like a warning, almost." But he was already turning away, and she followed him hastily. Jacqueline could never ride a horse in that gown, or even sit sidewise in the saddle without hopelessly crumpling it, so they walked to the schoolhouse. It was a slow progress, for she had to step lightly and carefully for fear of the slippers.
