He would find his parents, he vowed to himself, if only to spite Jane. Presently his ear caught a little sniff, and looking down, saw her dabbing her eyes with her handkerchief. His heart softened at once. "Never mind," said he. "You didn't mean it." "It's only because I love you, Paul," she murmured wretchedly. "That's all right," he said.
He turned to find her dabbing her eyes with a couple of square inches of chiffon which, in spite of its exiguity, had smeared the powder on her face. He sat down beside her, with his patient smile, and took her hand and patted it. "Come, come, my little Elodie. I am not going to leave you. It was only an idea. If it had attracted you, well and good. But as it doesn't, let us say no more about it."
The evening we heard, Billy and I just sat hand in hand under the stars, dabbing the tears away. Don't smile, it was the only thing to do, and we longed so to be in London." As she talked she passed into the cool shade of the hut and busied herself preparing a lemon squash for him, not needing to ask if it were his choice. "We were miserable for days. I'm sure all of you were too."
Finally she looked round with an indignant dabbing of her tears. How dare he treat her thus? Was he quite heartless? She began to utter a stream of reproaches, but stopped short and gasped in incredulous disgust. He had actually he had actually gone, and left her to wear her emotion out in solitude.
I didn't come up when he first come, on account of my pie crust bein' all ready to put in the oven." "How long has he been here?" asked Ruth, dabbing a bit of powder on her nose and selecting a fresh collar. "Oh, p'raps half an hour." "That isn't right, Hepsey; when anyone comes you must tell me immediately. Never mind the pie crust next time."
They had heard most of the conversation, and Kitty was unaffectedly dabbing her eyes. "Well, let us get in out of the cold," I said, suddenly cheerful and brisk. "I want my supper." "Wait a moment," said Robin, "I don't think everything is quite over yet. What is that? Listen!" From the direction of the Market Square came the shouts of a great multitude.
There had been no word of his return in his latest letter; he had only said generally in a previous epistle, that he should come back directly the business that had called him to Yorkshire was settled. "Good gracious me, papa, how you startled me!" cried Miss Granger, dabbing at a spot of ultramarine which had fallen upon her work.
Would you know him again if the policeman succeeds in finding him?" "No; I never looked round. I only saw, when he began to run to cut us off at the gate, that he was lame." "H'm!" said Charles, reflectively. Then more briskly, with a new access of dabbing, "How is the faintness going on?"
If any was spilt, the Wakungu instantly fought over it, dabbing their noses on the ground, or grabbing it with their hands, that not one atom of the queen's favour might be lost; for everything must be adored that comes from royalty, whether by design or accident. The queen put her head to the trough and drank like a pig from it, and was followed by her ministers.
Achille Picard raised a high tenor voice, fixing the air, "En roulant ma boule roulante, En roulant ma boule." And the voyageurs swung into the quaint ballad of the fairy ducks and the naughty prince with his magic gun. "Derrièr' chez-nous y-a-t-un 'ètang, En roulant ma boule." The girl sank back, dabbing uncertainly at her eyes. "I shall never see them again," she explained, wistfully.
