"After all is said and done, Vivie, Sara's in a position to rub it in on us if she's of a mind to do so. She won't do it, of course, but I wonder if she isn't gloating, just the same." "Haven't we treated her as one of us?" demanded she, dabbing her handkerchief in her eyes. "Since the wedding, I mean. Haven't we been kind to her?" "Oh, I think she understands us perfectly," said her brother.
He fought Annie's grasp for a moment, screaming wildly, then collapsed in a little heap against her. Annie thought he was dead, and that her offering, like Cain's, had proved unacceptable on high. She drew back in horror, her hands dabbing aimlessly from her own face to the sides of the pew.
"Of course they always have them in these so-called camps," he added, catching the flash of a porcelain tub beyond. In another moment he had wet Miss Campbell's lips from a glass of water and was dabbing her temples with the end of a wet towel. "Better now?" he asked, as she opened her heavenly blue eyes. She nodded with a faint smile and closed them again.
For Patricia was crying and doing it quite as earnestly and as thoroughly as she did most things. At last she sat up, dabbing her eyes. "She didn't come! And we were all ready and now it can't be just the same when she does come. Custard, do you suppose it's a a judgment on me, for taking the punchbowl?" Custard looked sober. "I'll go put it right back.
And suddenly he came on young Lennan himself, sitting on a stone and dabbing away with his fingers at a lump of putty stuff. The Colonel hesitated. Apart from obvious reasons for discomfiture, he had that feeling towards Art common to so many of his caste. It was not work, of course, but it was very clever a mystery to him how anyone could do it!
"That is no excuse for neglecting me," said Mr. Gribble. "Of course people die when they are old. Is that the one that got on and made money?" His wife, apparently struggling to repress a little excitement, nodded. "He he's left me two hundred pounds a year for life, Henry," she said, dabbing at her pale blue eyes with a handkerchief.
Falgate, in the background, sick to the point of faintness, stood dabbing his lips with his handkerchief and swearing that he would rot before he allowed himself again to be dragged into an affair of honor. "Ye damned cutthroat!" swore the militia captain, standing over the man he had felled. "D'ye know what'll be the fruits of this? Ye'll swing at Tyburn like the dirty thief y' are. God help me!
Dabbing back her tears with one hand, she took it with the other and exclaimed at once, "Why, you've sketched me!" "When a man like that dares so much for home happiness in this world, I think I can dare a little, poor, struggling dog as I am. I called that a while ago the picture of my wife; and it shall be my woman," infusing the idiom of his native State with its primitive, tender meaning.
What a number you have picked up, first and last, from different sitters, in the fifteen years of your practice as a portrait-painter! Have you any idea how many stories you really do know?" No: he could not undertake to say how many just then. He gave this answer in a very indifferent tone, dabbing away all the time at his eyes with the sponge and lotion.
And when, later in the evening, Daddy Barclay went over to the mill with his work, and Uncle Bob left in the twilight, and Aunt Molly and mother were alone in mother's room, how should a little girl know what the crying was all about, and how should a little girl understand when a small woman, looking in a mirror, and dabbing her face with a powder rag, said to mother, who knows everything in the world, and all about the angels that brought you here: "Oh, Jane, Jane, you don't know you don't understand.
