Now she could not help likening her mother to the bird, although the thought shocked her. There was the same sly angle of countenance, a similar furtiveness of purpose; the very expression of Mrs. Knight's keen, hard eyes was like nothing so much as that of the magpie's. Displeased at her own irritation, Lorelei made the excuse of a shopping trip to escape from the house.
His old furtiveness of manner came back now when he talked over himself and his affairs with his wife. But even here he had his triumph, he was not at her mercy, he wielded a power of his own; she recognised it with a smile.
I saw Catherine glancing at him with a strange furtiveness in which there was something of fear. "You have never met your ideal, I suppose?" she asked, with a faint smile. "Oh yes, I've met her!" he answered "Ages ago!
Henceforth she read with understanding the changes in his manner, and saw behind the mingled abstraction and fanciful meditation of his talk. She had not yet made up her mind what to do. She saw that he hid it from her assiduously. He did so more because he wished not to pain her than from furtiveness. By nature he was open and brave, and had always had a reputation for plainness and sincerity.
Increasing anxiety is depicted by slanting the eyebrows obliquely in a downward line toward the nose. Concentrated attention draws the eyebrows together over the bridge of the nose, while furtiveness widens the space again without elevating the eyebrows.
From that day came restraints and difficulties; the shadow of furtiveness fell between us; our correspondence had to be concealed. I went to Oxford as one goes into exile; she to London. I would post to her so that the letters reached Landor House before lunch time when the sun of Lady Ladislaw came over the horizon, but indeed as yet no one was watching her letters.
Again, head down and hurriedly, he came on. On through the thinning fringe of shadow and into the full bright moonlight. A sudden formless fear which in no way could she explain was upon her. His actions were so strange; they hinted at furtiveness. He had been so outright and hearty and wholesome a moment ago and now struck her as anything but the big free and easy man who had supped with her.
Like the rest of the world, she had not in earlier years seen the furtiveness in his handsome face; but at last, as his natural viciousness became stereotyped, and bad habits matured and emphasized, she saw beneath his mask of low-class comeliness. When at last she had found it necessary to dismiss the best cook she ever had, because of him, they saw little of each other.
It is clear day before they have all gotten back to their particular hummocks, and if one follows cautiously, not to frighten them into some near-by burrow, it is possible to trail them far up the slope. The crested quail that troop in the Ceriso are the happiest frequenters of the water trails. There is no furtiveness about their morning drink.
His appearance, if possible, was a little more ghastly even than when Arnold had seen him last. He was unshaven, and his eyes shone with the furtiveness of some hunted animal. In his hand he was holding a murderous-looking pistol. "Say what you want be quick and get away," Isaac muttered. "I am not here to receive visitors not your sort, any way. You understand that?"
