Now, every one about the person of this amiable man was on the constant guard to save him from the injurious effects of his own benevolence; and accordingly his foreman, hearing that he was closeted with a stranger, took alarm, and entered on pretence of asking instructions about an order for hides, in reality, to glower upon the intruder, and keep his master's hands out of imprudent pockets. Mr.
What the deuce, then, was the fellow up to, that he should glower and dodge like a sleuth in a play? Promptly Victor became deaf, blind, and numb to the fascinations so generously paraded by Lady Randolph West; and presently excusing himself, left her and sought his rooms.
A moment and the darkness would reign in her as before; her eyes glower, her fingers feel out graspingly how much? she would say. What, no more? she would say. She would be right again. A mother many times, realizing life it was worthy of a great reward. But all went otherwise.
"There's one thing you ought to understand about Dorothea," she said, with a little air of amusement. "You know how fond I am of her, and that I wouldn't criticise her for the world. Now, don't be offended, and don't glower at me like that, for I must say it. Dorothea isn't unhappy because she hasn't a good home, or because she has a stern father, or because she can't marry you.
"I hear of great doings in preparation at St. Magloire" which was the official title of the Red House. "Have you given the doctor fair warning?" "Oh, we'll try to keep them within bounds, Seigneur. My friend, Mr. Pixley here," the Seigneur made Mr. Pixley a seigneurial bow, "has it in his mind to stop the proceedings if he can " "Oh?" said the Seigneur, with a glower of surprise. "And why?"
"My lord, my lord, what new horror is this? Sibyll! methought she was worthless, and had fled to thee!" "Ten thousand devils!" shouted the king, "am I ever to be tormented by that damnable wizard and his witch child? And is it, Sir Peer and Sir Goldsmith, in your king's closet that ye come, the very eve before he marches to battle, to speer and glower at each other like two madmen as ye are?"
"Eih?" he said again, and stared with open mouth and fierce, dark eyes. "Hurry up, Peter," whispered the gaffer, "hurry up, for God sake. He has the black glower in his een." "Ready, sir; ready now!" cried Peter Riney, running out to open the other half of the gate.
The first act of "The Oranges" is over. Two critics exchanging opinions glower at Mr. Prokofieff. One says: "What a shame! What a shame! Nobody will understand it." The other agrees. But perhaps they only mean that music critics will fail to understand it and that untutored ones like ourselves will find in the hurdy-gurdy rhythms and contortions of Mr. Prokofieff and Mr.
It was as if for all the world she didn't take it for one, the immobility, to say nothing of the seeming equanimity, of their tactless companion; at whom meanwhile indeed our friend himself, after his first ruffled perception, no more adventured a look than if advised by his constitutional kindness that to notice her in any degree would perforce be ungraciously to glower.
"I'm game for anything, Mollie dear, as long as you keep away from land-slides and wild animals." "Just hear the child!" said Mollie disgustedly. "As if an adventure would be an adventure without a little danger mixed in!" "Just what is your great idea, Mollie?" asked Betty mildly. Mollie was beginning to glower. And if somebody did not stop her at the beginning, there was sure to be a fracas.
