The visitor smiled deprecatingly into his revolving hat. "What do most of us want, Mr. Bullard?" "I'll tell you what most of us do not want the attentions of the police." "Tut, tut, Mr. Bullard. Of course we don't want that, nor do we need it do we?" The impudence of the fellow's manner was exquisite. Bullard, toying with the nugget on his chain, affected not to notice it.
She stamped her foot in childish rage, saying vehemently: "She is a nobody, that Stevens person, and her family are vagabonds. You will make a great mistake if you choose her for your friend." Then, her rage receding as suddenly as it had come, she shrugged her shoulders deprecatingly. "Pardonnez moi." She bowed to Marjorie. "I spoke too strongly. It is not for me to choose Miss Dean's friends."
He clicked deprecatingly with his tongue as Winona became detailed in her narrative. "My great glory!" he exclaimed at last. "You mean to say they mix it down there every afternoon?" "Every single day," confirmed Winona. "He's been going to that low dive for weeks and weeks. Think of the debasing associations!" "Just think of it!" said Sharon, impatiently.
I made no answer to her invitation "Won't you come up?" she insisted. I thought: "She doesn't seem to know anything about it. She has only heard that I had a quarrel with her mother." I shook my head, smiling affectionately "Why, are you still angry at mother?" she pursued, shaking her head, deprecatingly, as who should say, "You're a bad boy." I thought, "Of course she doesn't know."
"Isn't it splendid!" the girl exclaimed, gazing about her. "I thought it was rather good," said Mr. Harrison, deprecatingly. "It can be made much finer, of course." "When you take your last year's hay crop from the lawn, for one thing," laughed she. "But I had no idea there was anything so beautiful near our little Oakdale. Just look at that tremendous entrance!"
It was therefore with a sinking of the heart that he heard his wife's gentle tones requesting him to wend his way to the grocery to purchase a pound of butter. "I hate to ask you to go, William dear, but there really is not a scrap in the house for breakfast, and the butter-man does not come until to-morrow afternoon," she said deprecatingly. "It really will only take you a few minutes." Mr.
Why, yes, of course we shall," he said, stroking her hair, and playing with her trembling, thin, white hands. "Why, this only makes me love you the more now; and you will love my little Lillie: fact is, you can't help it. We shall both of us be happier for having her here." "Well, you know, John, I never saw her," said Grace, deprecatingly, "and so you can't wonder." "Oh, yes, of course!
She likes change, of course. That's natural," he said gently. "Poor Vilas says she wants a man to be different every day, and if he isn't, then she wants a different man every day." "You've rather taken Ray Vilas under your wing, haven't you?" asked Laura. "Oh, no," he answered deprecatingly. "I only try to keep him with me so he'll stay away from downtown as much as possible."
Can't say what he would be called, but I should say his function is to measure the capacity of students for various kinds of knowledge, in order that their education may be adapted accordingly. "Might call him a brain-surveyor," he concluded. "Or a noodle-smith," added the geologist, deprecatingly. "Rather, a career-appraiser!" indignantly, from Billie.
His wife glanced at him deprecatingly, but his eyes travelled past her to the portrait. "Mr. Rickham wanted to see it," she began, as if excusing herself. He shrugged his shoulders, still smiling. "Oh, Rickham found me out long ago," he said lightly; then, passing his arm through mine: "Come and see the rest of the house."
