"You lovely creature!" murmured Martha, touching an arm with her lips. "Am I really lovely?" "You would be adorable if you had a heart." "Perhaps I have one. Who knows?" "You are foolish to dress like this." Martha finished the hooking of Elsa's waist. "And why?" "In the first place there's nobody worth the trouble; and nobody but a duchess or a . . ." Martha paused embarrassedly. "Or a what?
"Don't mention it," he said embarrassedly. "It's easy, two thinkin' together. 'Sides, I've tho't a heap 'bout things since since I started to fix your kiddies right. Y'see, it ain't easy." "No, it just ain't. That is, y'see, I ain't grumbling," Scipio went on hurriedly, lest his meaning should be mistaken.
"I'm afraid you carry too much at a time," he admonished, gravely. "You mustn't do that." Jinnie dropped her eyes. "I was talking to my uncle about it," she explained embarrassedly, "and he thought same's I, that you were paying too much for that little wood. I'm goin' to bring more after this."
"Sit down again, Fred," he continued. "Have you planned to get married immediately?" Frederick shuddered. It seemed as if a great gulf were opening under his feet and he were about to be swallowed up. "Well, we hadn't considered that," he hesitated embarrassedly. "Probably not for two years yet, until I get through college." Here was a ray of hope. Lots of things could happen in two years.

The two looked at each other embarrassedly. "Pardon, Highness," said one of them, "but the orders of the duke will not permit us to leave you. There have been thieves along the road of late." Thieves?
There was not the least gayety, recklessness, or spontaneity in the action; it was simply mechanical bravado. It was so ineffective, even upon her own feelings, that her arms presently dropped to her side, and she coughed embarrassedly. "Where's that whiskey, pardner?" she asked.
Professors, who had put aside their books, beamed benevolently through their glasses as they walked somewhat embarrassedly past the grinning faces of their pupils. Old football players, former captains, bygone masters of rowing, commanders of olden baseball teams, all these and many more were there and were welcomed heartily, tumultuously, by the wearers of the red.
He made a mental note of it in view of future favors, yet for the moment he felt embarrassedly gratified. "Ye ain't wantin' anything, Minty," he said affectionately; "a pail o' cold water from the far spring no nothin'?" He made an ostentatious movement as if to rise, yet sufficiently protracted to prevent any hasty acceptance of his prodigal offer.
With a smile that showed his pleasure at again seeing her, he advanced eagerly, with his hand outstretched. "How are you?" he exclaimed. "Aren't you going to shake hands with me?" he demanded. "With an old friend?" Vera gave him her hand quickly, and then, seating herself at the table, picked up the ivory pointer. "I didn't know you were coming as an old friend," she murmured embarrassedly.
