I grew to love different books too. In youth one demanded a generous glow, a fire of passion, a strongly tinged current of emotion; but by degrees came the love of sober, subdued reflection, a cooler world in which, if one could not rest, one might at least travel equably and gladly, with a far wider range of experience, a larger, if a fainter, hope.
The murmur of talk that came to us, unchecked by any intervening doors, had no sound of excitement or of anger or of violent emotion of any sort; and I could not but hold in admiration the calm, self-contained natures of these men who thus equably and rationally could deal with such vastly weighty affairs.
"Marthy Thomas knows more about such goin's on than me," she returned equably; "but since you ask me, I was crazy once about Jack, and another awful pretty girl had him. But that wasn't all." She slapped her knee in joyous and triumphant remembrance, and the cabin echoed with her laughter. "Ah!"
I lay on a bank and gleaned sunshine. The morning came over the sea steadily, equably, like a good ship making for a sure harbour. Then, ten miles from Gudaout, on a mountain, I looked out from the ruins of the Tower of Iver, over a vast resplendent sea, and saw below me the monastery of Novy Afon and all its buildings, looking like children's toys.
Robinson followed him, and there he found the man he had come to see stretched on his bed pale and hollow-eyed and grisly and looking like a corpse in the fading light. Robinson was awestruck. "Oh! what is this?" said he. "Have I come all this way to bury him?" He leaned over and felt his heart; it beat feebly but equably, and he muttered something unintelligible when Robinson touched him.
"Haven't the least idea," replied Perkins equably. "You were on the tram this morning when Miss Brewster was insulted, weren't you?" "Yes." "And ran away?" "I did." "What did you run away for?" "I ran away," the other sweetly informed him, "on important business of my own." Cluff snickered. The suspicion impinged upon Carroll's mind that this wasn't going to be as simple as he had expected.
He felt that if only he could be "in it" he could equably endure any of these things that were happening and that would get worse; if he had just to stand by and watch them his portion would be insupportable. England! Other people whom he knew could not possibly feel it in the way he felt it.
"I thought you might know from experience," she observed equably. "I have never loved any woman but you, Margaret!" he said tenderly. "You know that!" Margaret made no response. The statement seemed to demand something of her which she could not give. He took her hand again, caressed it, and finally kissed her. She looked at him steadily, coldly. "Please sit over there!"
"For of course you are thinking of your husband." Lady Agnes colored slightly under Miss Greeby's very direct gaze, but replied equably enough, to save appearances, "He is still in Paris." "When did you last hear from him, dear?" questioned Lady Garvington, more to manufacture conversation than because she really cared. "Only to-day I had a letter.
Of course, I wouldn't do it if I stopped to think, but when he gets me furious as he did to-day, I don't stop to think." "Well, for mercy's sake, Bob Henderson," ejaculated Betty in an instant alarm, "don't kill him, whatever you do. Then you'd be put in prison for life!" "All right," agreed Bob equably, "I won't kill him just nick him in a few places how will that do?"
