My eye fell upon the sleeping angels, locked peacefully in each other's arms, and my tears flowed for the first time. Mary, the servant-girl, looked piteously up in my face. The good, faithful creature had not uttered one word of complaint, but now she faltered forth "The dear, precious lambs! Oh! such a death!"
Looking up pleadingly into his eyes, she faltered: "Twice have I yielded to you since we entered into companionship. You well remember the solemn promise you made, but at each time you deferred its fulfillment, and now I must again hear your vain excuses.
Also, I cannot but wish still that he had faltered in his decision to make no scenario. There is much to be said for the theory that a dramatist should first vitalise his characters and then leave them unfettered; but I do feel that Brown's misused the confidence he reposed in them. The labour of so many years has somewhat the air of being a mere improvisation.
Circumstances made me and crushed you. That's all there is about that. Luck made me and cheated you. It ain't right." His voice faltered. Both men were now oblivious of their companions and of the scene. Both were thinking of the days when they both planned great things in the way of an education, two ambitious, dreamful boys.
Thus he remained until he and his half-sister were alone together, then he flung himself wearily into the seat beside her, and took her hand. "Ruth," he faltered, "Ruth!" She stroked his hand, her honest, intelligent eyes bent upon him in a look of pity and to indulge this pity for him, she forgot how much herself she needed pity.
Her eyes were liquid as she faltered her answer. 'O, John, it was such a pleasure! How much you have to forgive! How right you were, and how wrong I was! 'Hush! not now, said John, kindly. 'Yes, now, I cannot look at you till I have said it. I have felt the truth of every word you said, and I beg your pardon for all that has passed. He pressed her hand in answer, saying, 'It was my fault.
Dagworthy, that I will never think of you unjustly or unkindly. But I can promise nothing more; I have already given my love. Her voice faltered before the last word, the word she would never lightly utter. But it must be spoken now; no paraphrase would confirm her earnestness sufficiently. Still keeping her eyes on the ground, she knew that he had started.
"My dear little one," he faltered, as he saw the wet lashes and the trembling lips, "I think, after all, you love your old friend a little bit." Honor tried to smile through her tears it was like a little rainbow bursting through the clouds. She knelt down beside him, and looking up earnestly into his face, said, "You must get better, if 'twere only for my sake.
Walsingham, too, was determined not to act as a commissioner. If his failing health did not serve as an excuse, he should be obliged to refuse, he said, and so forfeit her Majesty's favour, rather than be instrumental in bringing about her ruin, and that of his country. Never for an instant had the Secretary of State faltered in his opposition to the timid policy of Burghley.
"Why," she faltered, "why why not? We are all that is left to each other in the world! Your father and mine were brothers; let me be to you as a sister. What is there left for me here? Not one being whom I love, or who cares for me, not one!" It was then that Clifford summoned all his courage, as he answered.
