Wrathfully he began to deny such an outrageous statement. "I thought you would like to know," she continued, falteringly, when his indignation had somewhat subsided, "that you are mistaken in that about Zotique and me; we are not engaged. I I told him, no." It was hard to tell him this; but she had treated him so very badly and had taken such an unfair advantage of his trusting nature.
"When uncle pleases," murmured the girl. "Uncle pleases nothing, and will have nothing to do with it, except to advise as early a day as possible," he blurted out; "what says the bride?" "Answer, dearest Edith," entreated Michael Shields. "Then let it be at New Year," said Edith, falteringly. "Whew! six months ahead! Entirely too far off!" exclaimed the commodore.
Old memories trooped into their hearts like shining spirits. "Baby Blossom," said Old Man Shaw falteringly, "are you quite sure you'll be contented here? Out there" with a vague sweep of his hand towards horizons that shut out a world far removed from White Sands "there's pleasure and excitement and all that. Won't you miss it? Won't you get tired of your old father and White Sands?"
The song was ended they were waiting for her to speak; here and there in the semi-darkness she could distinguish a puzzled face; had they been waiting long? With an effort she opened her paper, no, it wouldn't do she crushed it in her hand and waited for a minute till her heart should stop throbbing in her throat. Then she spoke, falteringly at first. "Some of us were conceited and selfish.
I should feel miserable indeed if Simmons, whom my mother always considered very clever, did not assure me that there was no ground for alarm, that these symptoms were only nervous. Cheer up, Helen; sweet love, cheer up!" Helen raised her face and strove to smile; but the tears stood in her eyes. "It would be hard to die now, Percival!" she said falteringly. "To die oh, Helen!
The disordered garb the fierce aspect the dark eyes, that literally shone through the shadows of the room-all conspired to increase the terror of so abrupt a presence. "What are you? What do you seek here?" said she, falteringly, placing her hand on the bell as she spoke. Upon that soft hand Morton laid his own. "I seek my life! I am pursued! I am at your mercy! I am innocent! Can you save me?"
"You mustn't think you mustn't think ANYTHING," he falteringly commanded, drawing nearer, because it was impossible not to do it. What he really meant, though he did not know how decorously to say it, was that she must not think that he could be moved by any tall beauty, towards the splendour of whose possessions his revered grandmother might be driving him.

Besides, Lord L'Estrange looked so young, old enough to be Leonard's father! he could not entertain the idea. He roused himself and said, falteringly, "You told me you did not know by what name I should call my father." "And I told you the truth, to the best of my belief."
Then he walked right up to her, choking with fear and emotion, but determined to speak to her. He began falteringly: "See here, Martine, this cannot go on like this any longer." She replied as if she wanted to tease him: "What cannot go on any longer, Benoist?" "My thinking of you as many hours as there are in the day," he answered. She put her hands on her hips. "I do not oblige you to do so."
The two girls looked at one another long and steadily, until at last Eunice said falteringly: "What do you see in my eyes, Peggy?" and Peggy answered promptly: "I see a friend! Please let me go on seeing her. While I'm here, Eunice, give the carpet a rest and look at me instead. You can't deny that I'm better worth seeing."
