Moffat stirred uneasily, his hand flung behind him, but McNeil was gazing into the lady's fair face, apparently unconscious of any other presence. "But all this time you have not favored me with any of your own adventures, Mr. McNeil. I am very sure you must have had hundreds out on these wide plains." The somewhat embarrassed foreman shook his head discouragingly.
Yet Bessy ran away and hid herself in as ingeniously unlikely places as a strayed calf whenever she heard of his approach, and if brought by chance into his society became most discouragingly deaf and dumb.
"What do you think?" asked Macko, presently. "Will the Knights of the Cross give her up, or not?" The Bohemian shook his head, then he waved his hand discouragingly. "I think," he said, slowly, "she is lost forever." "Why?" asked Macko in terror. "Because, when they said they had her there was yet hope, one could yet contend with them, either to ransom her, or take her from them by force.
The castle was a mediæval Schloss, with a drawbridge and moat. There his pupils were little counts and countesses, discouragingly dull and sleepy children who spoke only German and Latin, and who had the smallest interest in music.
Stefana hurried in eagerly. "He didn't believe it." "The Benjamin baby wasn't further advanced," doubted Evangeline discouragingly. "Never you mind the Benjamin baby!

At the time when Dan came for his paper the office was occupied by Norah Fottrell, engaged in dictating a letter to her sweetheart, Stevie Flynn, away in Manchester. The composition still looked discouragingly brief, despite Isaac's big, flourishing hand, yet Norah's ideas had already run so short that she was staring in quest of more up among the cobwebby rafters over her head.
When she came to grips with the land, then its wild unfriendliness was revealed, and the magnitude of the task ahead of her was made discouragingly plain. All over her cultivable strip of land which lay between the river and the hills, the gray sage grew in clumps, each cluster anchoring the soil around it in a little mound.
When the long, hot, dry days came, when the uplands parched and the earth fairly seemed to radiate the heat, the acres of tender plants which Hiram and his helpers had just set out in the trenches began to wilt most discouragingly. Henry Pollock, who did all he could to aid Hiram on the crop, shook his head in despair. "It's a-layin' down on you, Hiram it's a-layin' down on you.
"I have, sir!" declared Patsy, raising her head to frown discouragingly upon the Honer'ble Ojoy. "Mr. Skeelty is acting in a very disagreeable manner. He has not only boycotted our paper and refused to pay for the subscriptions he engaged, but I understand he is encouraging his workmen to annoy the Millville people, and especially this printing office." "Well durn Skeelty!" ejaculated Mr.
"They were very skillful and gentle, as you say. Moreover, he was young and exceedingly good-looking." "Hum!" said Philip caustically. "With all those beauty points, he must be a dub medically. What stung so?" "Strong salt brine, piping hot," said the girl discouragingly. "It's a wildwood remedy for washing wounds." "Didn't the dub carry any conventional antiseptics?"
