An’ Danny waded in jus’ to keep that one"—the boy pointed straight at Drew—"offa Helms. That’s what happened. Th’ boys didn’t mean no harm—jus’ havin’ a little fun—when these Rebs jumped ’em!" Drew pulled up his neckerchief and dabbed at his cut lip. Anse had subsided, though he was still watching the sergeant with an unrelenting gaze.
And he left the room without another word. As the door closed behind him, Vera stood up, straightened her hair in front of the glass on the mantelpiece, dabbed the tears out of her eyes with her handkerchief, and then went upstairs, holding her head rather erect, but otherwise showing no sign of emotion.
The maid illuminated the darkened room. The Princess gazed at herself in the mirror, and reaching out again took a small powder-puff from its case and gently dabbed her face. Then she laid both mirror and powder-puff back in their places. "You will tell monsieur," she said, "that I am very unwell indeed, but that since he is here and his business is urgent I will see him.
The messes that were daily dabbed into the compartments of the tin tray were never appetizing; that morning his emotions made everything as tasteless as sawdust. But he ate for strength's sake; he did not know what form of endurance would be demanded of him. He put only a few of his letters into his pocket. Cells were inspected every day after the convicts went forth to their toil.
She raised his hand to her lips. Then she dabbed at her eyes with the few inches of perfumed lace which she called a handkerchief. It was passing, that evil moment. "There is no man in the world," she told him softly, "who should be able to make you jealous. In your heart you know." He laughed lightly. "You will make me vain, dear one. Give me your little fingers to hold for a moment.
My wife is to have a light hand. Ah, how he kicks! Has he splashed you? I am very sorry." "I am ready for a soft towel now," said Miss Abbott, who was strangely exalted by the service. "Certainly! certainly!" He strode in a knowing way to a cupboard. But he had no idea where the soft towel was. Generally he dabbed the baby on the first dry thing he found. "And if you had any powder."
"Here she comes too," said the clerk, and he took the first-class ticket, juggled another in the stamping-machine, and dabbed it down through the pigeon-hole. "Oh, thank you," cried the Skipper, snatching it up, and rushing towards the door. "Hi! you haven't paid," shouted the clerk, and the boy ran back, with his face scarlet, to place his bright shilling on the little bracket.
When you are present, he thinks of no one else. You see," Isabel spoke with something of an effort, "he's in love with you." "Yes yes, of course. I'm very silly." Dinah dabbed her eyes and began to smile. "But he makes me feel all the while as if as if he wants to eat me. I know it's all my silliness; but I wish you weren't going to the Dower House all the same.
Sometimes they are shining white, too dazzling to look at; and sometimes they are streaked with great vivid bands of green and azure which are so unearthly and brilliant that I feel certain some fairy has dipped his brush in the solar spectrum and dabbed the colours on this gigantic palette. A sea without these jewels of the Arctic will forever look barren and unfinished to me after this.
Listen, old thing; do put on some water. I'm croaking for a cup of tea. Without any comment, Elise went into the adjoining room, used as a kitchen, while the voluptuary dabbed clouds of powder over her neck and shoulders. With a tired listlessness, Elise returned and sank into a chair, from the back of which an underskirt was hanging disconsolately. 'You didn't do the breakfast-dishes, Marian.
