Godfrey was like all the rest of his kind, and as no other girls except Mina and Lina had come in his way, and as Lina attended to his admonitions far more docilely than her sister, he determined to make her his helpmate. He was ignorant as to how such matters ought to be conducted, and felt a little shy and awkward.
He asked her to make a fire in the grate, and then, gathering up an armful of papers, he knelt down on the brick hearth, but suddenly drew back. His deep eyes gleamed hatefully at her. Holding out several stiff papers, he motioned to her to burn them. Usually she would have obeyed docilely enough, but this deviltry of merriment she resented.
Docilely she had obeyed his gestures for an hour; now, suddenly maddened at the silence and the mask over his face, she sprang unexpectedly upon him, shoving him from the rock on which he had stepped, snatching off his mask as she did so. For the first time she heard his voice, cursing her coolly as he gripped and held her. It was Bayne Trevors, at last come out the open, his eyes hard on hers.
If his parents passed on with the impression that Medora Phillips and Basil Randolph were but casual acquaintances, worthy of nothing beyond brief formalities, the blame was his own. "I'm showing father and mother over the campus," he said, with an open smile and a wave with his diploma, as he edged away. The elders docilely took their cue, and moved away with him.
You look as young as when I first teased you! Come here and let me give you a "nip for new." She came docilely. He pretended to pinch the thin wrist she held out to him, and then, stooping, lightly kissed it. 'Now go and enjoy yourself, he said, 'and I'll take care of Sandy. Don't tire yourself. Take a cab when you want one. She was moving away when a thought struck her.
It would be an unbearable calamity to miss going to the meeting. In the fervour of the new religious feeling she craved sanctified surroundings. So, though she didn't feel at all sick and though she wanted desperately to make paper-flowers, she docilely let herself be put to bed. Anyway, perhaps it was just a penance sent to her by our Lord, to make atonement for her sin.
F. W. Myers convinced me of the possibility of simple feats, though not of her explanation of them. She credited them to spirits, and wicked spirits to boot. In vain, I pointed out that spirits who occupied themselves so docilely about matters so trivial must be harmless creatures with no more guile than the village idiot: she would concede no grain of goodness in their composition.
In the midst of them he was summoned to another meal; and he followed Piotr docilely to the table, this time trying to force a little food between his lips. It did not occur to him to re-enter the bedroom; afterwards he wondered why. Neither, however, did he think of going to bed. Numberless people were calling at the palace for information: among them the Governor-General, who came in person.
Julia would show her delight when a shopping tour and a lunch downtown were substituted for a sewing lesson; she docilely pushed back her boiling potatoes and beef stew when Miss Toland was for delaying supper while they went out to buy a waffle iron, and made some experiments with batter.
"You might try," said Marjorie docilely; "though, honestly, Francis, I don't feel any more like an invalid than you do. I feel perfectly well and strong let me see if I can stand up!" He really shouldn't Mrs. O'Mara told him that severely two hours afterwards but at that particular moment he would have done anything in the world Marjorie requested.
