No word has passed between us which would suggest for a single moment that she looked upon this matter any differently!" The Duchess listened to him steadily. At first there were signs of a coming storm. Like a skilful general, however, she abandoned her position and changed her tactics. She got up and walked to the window, produced a handkerchief from her pocket, and stood dabbing her eyes.
So Carmela wondered now who he could be, nor was her wonder lessened when she peered through the screen of trees, and saw a girl, whom she recognized instantly as Iris, furtively dabbing her tear-stained face with a handkerchief. Unhappily, the President's daughter was not attractive in appearance.
"Served you right!" muttered Dexter, as he knelt down by the river, and bathed his hands and face before dabbing them dry with his pocket-handkerchief. "No business to treat me like that." Then, as he stood rubbing his face very little the worse for the encounter his anger all passed away, and the consequences of his act dawned upon him. "Look here," he said; "it was all your fault.
"I must stop this," she said, dabbing her eyes with a very early-April smile, "my Aunt Kirkpatrick will think it is because of meeting you. She is always free with her imagination, my Lady Kirkpatrick a clever woman for all that only, what is it that you say, 'hard and fyky! She has seen many great people and kings, and was long counted a great beauty without anything much coming of it."
She called out to him, "You are suffocating me," and tried to rise: but he cried out like a madman: "I will, I want to," and pressed what seemed to be a handkerchief over her face. She declared that she lost consciousness. When she came to herself she found Dr. Wilde frantically imploring her to come to her senses, while dabbing water on her face, and offering her wine to drink.
As teenagers, they would jog together at the high school track and in school she looked so beautiful wearing a skirt and her hair in a bun. She was experimenting with makeup at the age of 14. She never did like it, dabbing it timidly over her beautiful face. She didn't need it any more in her late twenties. It was their secret language. It was their girlish society that he had been excluded from.
"Of course," she said she had a habit of beginning her remarks with these two words "of course, we need not think of such questions yet. I am sure all I want is the happiness of the dear children." "Umph!" ejaculated Mr. Glynde, who was not always a model of politeness. "That, I am sure," continued Mrs. Agar, with a dabbing pocket-handkerchief, "is the dearest wish of us all."
Anon, his admiration of Florence and Walter well-matched, truly, and full of grace and interest in their youth, and love, and good looks, as they sat apart would take such complete possession of hIm, that he would lay down his cards, and beam upon them, dabbing his head all over with his pockethandkerchief; until warned, perhaps, by the sudden rushing forth of Mr Toots, that he had unconsciously been very instrumental, indeed, in making that gentleman miserable.
She was going home first to get the $4 wrapped in a piece of tissue paper in the bottom drawer of her dresser, and then she was going to pay Schlegel and take the dress home herself. Grace lived in the same house. She occupied the hall room above Maida's. At home Maida found clamor and confusion. The landlady's tongue clattering sourly in the halls like a churn dasher dabbing in buttermilk.
He was seated on a small stool, a large pot of red paint on the floor beside him, dabbing at the cabinet with a dripping brush. He was absorbed and made no attempt whatever to follow his secretary's remarks. For ten minutes Baxter gave a vivid picture of his vigil and the manner in which it had been interrupted. "Just so; just so, my dear fellow," said the earl when he had finished.
