Grandmamma sat so particularly straight up, and my Aunt Dorothea looked so prim, and my Uncle Charles fidgetted about between the fire and the window, like a man who knew of something coming which he wanted to have over. My Aunt Dorothea poured the chocolate in silence. When all were served, Grandmamma took a pinch of snuff. "Miss Keith!" "Madam!"
Then, if she may marry, it only remains that she and you should be suited. Do you object to me as a son-in-law?" It is impossible to convey the impression of the manner, winning, half humourous, half dry, supremely careless and confident, in which all this was said on the minister's part. It was something almost impossible at the moment to withstand, and it fidgetted Mrs.
"I certainly should have thought so, as long as I quoted Scripture," said the Vicar. "But, you know, nobody does such a thing," said Ambrose. "Then is it not high time somebody should?" "Mr Liversedge, you will never get promotion, if that be the way you are going on." "In which world?" "`Which world'! There is only one." "I thought there were two." Ambrose fidgetted uneasily on his chair.
A sudden mist of tears blinded her. She closed her eyes. When she opened them Mannering was gone. The peculiar atmosphere of the room, heavy with the newest perfume from the Burlington Arcade, and the scent of exotic flowers, at no time pleasing to him, seemed more than usually oppressive to Mannering as he fidgetted about waiting for the woman whom he had come to see.
Uncle Darcy, growing impatient at the time consumed in politely leading up to the object of their coming, fidgetted in his seat. At last he could wait no longer for remarks about weather and wild-cats. Such conversational paths led nowhere. He interrupted abruptly. "I'm the Towncrier from Provincetown, ma'am. Did you lose anything while you were there?" "Well, now," she began slowly.
There was a question being discussed of money for the Catholic Protectory, and somebody said that the bill was "unconstitutional." Mr. Roosevelt writes: The Judge, who knew nothing of the constitution, except that it was continually being quoted against all of his favorite projects, fidgetted about for some time, and at last jumped up to know if he might ask the gentleman a question.
Miss Summers looked spiteful, Rose Anstey was sniffling with a cold, the others were listless and tired. It was a muggy morning, and all spirits were low. Sally's were lower than any others in the room. She began to work with only half her ordinary attentiveness, broke her cotton, snapped a needle, fidgetted.
"Well, I am very glad you are back, Bob," his sister said. "I have been fidgetting about you, ever since you were away." "I am as glad to see you as your sister can be," Gerald put in. "If she has fidgetted, when you had only gone a week; you can imagine what I should have to bear, before the end of a month. I should have had to move into barracks. Life would have been insupportable, here."
He fidgetted aimlessly with one or two books and papers, filled a pipe, and half filled a waste-paper basket with torn circulars and accumulated writing-table litter. Then he lit the pipe and settled down in his most comfortable armchair with an old note-book in his hand.
'You will be absolutely alone, said Eleanor, in a low voice of emotion, 'in this solitary place. The Contessa fidgetted. She was of the sort that takes pity hardly. 'There is much to do, she said, shortly. But then her fortitude a little broke down. 'If I were ten years older, it would be all right, she said, in a voice that betrayed the mind's fatigue with its own debate.
