I was at a loss what to say, being so flustered by her carriage and her words, which seemed to make it plain to me that I had sorely misjudged the dead man. But I said nothing, and moved a little way from her; and she, seeing my disinclination, laughed again, and then 'God blessed' me with a vehemence and earnestness that, as I thought, meant me more harm than good.
"You're not supposed to understand Latin," interposed Mr. Dyke hastily. He grew flustered and stood, for once, at a loss. For some subtle reason her heart warmed to his awkwardness as it never would have done to his over-enterprising adroitness. "We must be going on," she said. He gave her a grateful glance.
With a stammered apology and a flustered lifting of his hat he backed away. But where was Billy? William looked about him in helpless dismay. All around was a wide, empty space. The long aisle to the Hampden Falls train was deserted save for the baggage-men loading the trunks and bags on to their trucks.
Many came in couples or trios, often in tow of an explanatory solicitor. Some were white and earnest, some flustered beyond measure at their opportunity. Some of them begged and prayed to be taken up. My uncle chose what he wanted and left the rest. He became very autocratic to these applicants. He felt he could make them, and they felt so too.
"We stayed accordingly; and did full justice to the good cheer," though poor Platen would certainly look flustered, one may fancy. "But as the Prince was anxious to come up with his Majesty again, and knew not where he would meet him, we had to be very swift with the business. Next day, Saturday, he went a hundred and fifty or two hundred miles; and arrived in Berlin at ten at night.
No doubt the youth would be somewhat flustered at being brought into the formidable presence and by the weight of his tidings, and the great man's gentleness would be a cordial. A superior's condescension is a wonderful lip-opener. We all have some people who look up to us, and to whom small kindlinesses from us are precious.
She brought a girl whom she wanted specially to meet the Herr. The girls dived into the alcove, then out, back again, and hung about flustered, by turns bold or backward. They did not know whether it was proper to see that he danced. He was, of course, high above their class, but if he didn't wish to dance, why had he come? Fritzi wanted to be polite but the situation was above her etiquette.
"Why, of course! But, Will I suppose I should call you Will? I am so flustered not expecting you and it's been so warm to-day. Won't you come in and take a chair?" wound up Miss Mattie in desperation, and fury at herself for saying things so different from what she meant to say. There was a twinkle in the man's eye as he replied in an injured tone: "Why, good Lord, Mattie!
I have told only of facts and impressions, and not given speeches that it would have been impossible for me to have remembered. Yet, in this interview there was something so striking to my young imagination, that my memory preserved many sentences, and all the substance of what took place. There was wine and cake upon the table, and the lady looked a little flustered.
"Why, when we come down, if you don't mind." "Then go up until you see a grated door but what an old fool I am! You know the way as well as I do." "To be sure, to be sure.... But, in passing, permit me to introduce my friend Durtal." Durtal, somewhat flustered, made a bow in the darkness. "Ah, monsieur, how fortunate. Louis is so anxious to meet you."
