"What makes you so long behind the others?" she demanded, without turning, stirring the milk as she spoke. "I guess I ain't much, am I?" Rebecca said, evasively. She tried to make her voice sound as it usually did, but she could not. It broke and took on faltering cadences, as if she were intoxicated with some subtle wine of the spirit. Her mother looked around at her.
As she did so, it struck her with a flash of irony that she was indebted to Gus Trenor for the means of buying them. The autumn dragged on monotonously. Miss Bart had received one or two notes from Judy Trenor, reproaching her for not returning to Bellomont; but she replied evasively, alleging the obligation to remain with her aunt.
She stood with bent head, busily arranging a spray of coreopsis that fell out over the path, and Isabel was sure her eyes were wet. "I don't know," she said evasively; "maybe not very early." Isabel was looking at her tenderly. It was not a personal tenderness so much as a softness born out of peculiar circumstance. She knew exactly why she was sorry for Ardelia in a way no one else could be.
"Go down to the post-office and get the last mail." Eddy started up with alacrity. "All right," said he. "And you may run up-stairs to my room," said Charlotte, "and hunt round till you find my purse, and get out ten cents and buy yourself an ice-cream." Eddy was up and out with a whoop. "Are you expecting a letter, honey?" asked Charlotte of her sister. Ina laughed evasively.
Jennie Wild, who was very fond of her, also gave her a hint that something unusual was going on. "Miss Minturn, what's the fun that's brewing in the Junior League?" she inquired, as she encountered Katherine in one of the halls a couple of days previous to the meeting. "Is there fun brewing?" she inquired, evasively, and wondering if, by any possibility, her own scheme had become known.
What do you want to know for, Daisy?" "I was thinking about it," answered Daisy, evasively. "Wait a minute, Nora, I want to write it down, for fear I should forget something." "What are you going to do?" exclaimed Nora. "Are you going to teach a class yourself?" Daisy did not answer, while she was writing down with a pencil what Nora had said, and making her repeat it for that purpose.
"The Tribune," returned Adrian, evasively, "is certainly a man of extraordinary genius. And now, seeing him command, my only wonder is how he ever brooked to obey majesty seems a very part of him." "He is already married to a Raselli, an old Roman house," replied Adrian. "You evade my pursuit, Le doulx soupir! le doulx soupir! as the old Cabestan has it" said Montreal, laughing.
He added reminiscently: "We got to be right good friends again last night before we parted." She took the opening directly. "If you're so good a friend of his, you must not excite him about Mr. Morse. You know he's a Southerner, and he is likely to do something rash something we shall all be sorry for afterward." "I reckon that will be all right," he said evasively. Her eyes swept to his.
Its chief item, to-day, was the announcement of a dance she was to give shortly at the club, as usual and she had just finished for the second time the commentator's glib and unctuous phrasing. He answered evasively, "Oh, just away on business." As he walked to the window and looked out, she carelessly turned the pages.
I answered, secretly relieved that she had, for the moment, forgotten her anxiety about Anne. She laughed. "Bachelorhood isn't peace; it's desolation!" she declared. "I'm sure he's lonely in that big house. What was that he said about expecting you to-night?" "I'm going to call round after dinner and get hold of some facts on Cornish history," I said evasively.
