As they entered, Antoine Davilof broke away from a little group of men with whom he had been conversing and came to Magda's side. "The next dance is just beginning," he said. "Are you engaged? Or may I have it?" "No, I'm not engaged," she answered. She spoke flurriedly. She was dreading this dance with Antoine.
But there seemed no hurry, Hogarth all gay chatter, anon lowering the lids a moment, as he looked over the water; till suddenly hundreds of glasses detected a champagne-bottle with ribbons in the christener's hand; and the consciousness of the moment come moved the hosts when Hogarth, even as he chatted, disengaged a flag, and let it fall: it was a signal; down it fluttered; and instantly, down there, bustle broke loose, as the call "Saw-off!" went forth, and the saws set flurriedly to fret through the timbers which bind groundways to slidingways.
I stand up in the window and see that the mother's temper is rising; this disagreeable scene excites me frightfully. I can't endure it any longer. I call down to the boy to come up to me for a minute; I call twice, just to distract them to change the scene. The last time I call very loudly, and the mother turns round flurriedly and looks up at me.
And upon this jibe he laughed, not coldly and sarcastically, as was his wont, but, I thought, flurriedly. And, continuing to look into his papers, he said, his back still toward me as he read
This was old Joe McEvoy himself, who, out of the mouth of a steep, sandy boreen, sprang up suddenly, like a jack-fn-the-box-one of the shock-wigged, saturnine-complexioned pattern. But no jack-in-the-box could have looked so flurriedly distracted, or have muttered to itself such queer execrations as he did, hobbling along.
Indisputably the man was well-to-do already; and from this nightmarish topsy-turvidom of Reconstruction the fellow visibly was plucking wealth. Also young Stapylton was well enough to look at, too, as Lichfield flurriedly conceded.
Daisy turned over the leaves with fingers that trembled yet, hastily, flurriedly; and paused and pointed to the words that her father read, "Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day." Mr. Randolph read them, and the words following, and the words that went before; then he turned from them, and drew Daisy to her place in his arms again.
Such presents were unknown on the plantation. But Lily was a "mannerly" member of good society, if her circle was small, and she was not to be taken aback by any compliment a man should pay her. She simply fanned herself, a little flurriedly, perhaps, with her feather fan, as she said: "You sho' must be jokin', Mr. Pier. You cert'n'y must." But Mr. Pierre was not joking.
"I wished to say, when you interrupted me, that I am leaving at once, so my presence can make little difference to you," said Helen grandly. "That sounds more reasonable than it really is," was the quietly flippant reply. "It conveys my intent. I have no desire to prolong this conversation," she cried rather more flurriedly. "Now, there I agree with you. We have started on the wrong set of rails.
"It's all so new to me," pleaded Cleever; "and and you said you liked my book." This was a direct appeal that The Infant could understand, and he began rather flurriedly, with much slang bred of nervousness "Pull me up, sir, if I say anything you don't follow.
