"All propriety was now at an end, and a hearty burst of laughter from one end of the table to the other convulsed the whole company, the M'Nab and the Englishman being the only persons who did not join in it, but sat glowering at each other like twa tigers; and, indeed, it needed, a' the Montrose's interference that they had na quarrelled upon it in the morning."
But she caught at the hand that sought to brush her aside, caught and held it, clinging so fast to his arm that without actual violence he could not free himself. He stood still, then, his eyes glowering ruddily over her head at Jerry, who stamped and swore behind her. "Anne," he said, and the sternness of his voice was like a blow, "go into the next room!" "I will not!" she gasped back.
They ate their supper in a glowering silence, unusual in that cottage, even Molly for once being oppressed by the gloomy faces about her; then, still in silence, she washed the few dishes, while Sara undressed the baby; Morton, meanwhile, taking up a school-book, in which he sat apparently absorbed, until his twin, happening to pass behind him, stopped, and, with a flip of her dish-towel, cried out,
"Ah! the nation that produced 'Le philosophe sans le savoir. And now it has added, 'Le philosophe sans le vouloir, and you have stumbled on him. What a life for an aged man! Fortunatus ille senex qui ludicola vivit. Tantalus handcuffed and glowering over a gambling-table; a hell in a hell." "Oh, Harrington! "Exclamations not allowed in sober argument, Zoe."
What her father had told her about him was still strange to her, and she wanted to familiarize it to herself. But still the haggard-looking peasant lingered at her side, gazing at her with his glowering and sunken eyes; yet neither moving nor speaking.
She stood up in her place, her arms akimbo, glowering at her plate, on which an attendant had just deposited a small chocolate eclair. "Where's my piece of strawberry-tart?" she repeated. The Queen rose. "I am very sorry, Madam Malvolia," said she in her sweetest voice, "but the strawberry-tart has given out."
"Ay, well, I whistled and I whistled in that dreary place till the noise of it put a fear on me, and I started on again, and there at my side was the swish, swish in the sprits, and I would be poking my crook among them, but when I would be stopping it would be stopping, and I felt my hair bristle on my neck for the fear on me; but I pushed on, looking at my feet and all round me, till something inside of myself made me be looking up, and there was something before me, wi' eyes glowering at me oh, big, big it was, as a stack o' hay, and it was in my path, and I shut my eyes and stood, for it would kill me.
Outside, Braddock was glowering upon his wife, who faced him resolutely. There never had been a time when she was afraid of this man; even though he had mistreated her shamefully, he had never found the courage to exercise his physical supremacy.
"It's likely I'll believe that," sneered Ruthven. "I tell you the man is guilty. I have witnesses proofs of the murder." "I don't care what you have," cried the lieutenant. "I want the man at once I've parleyed with you far too long. If you don't produce him I'll search the house." Ruthven sat glowering like a tiger at bay.
As I sat beside her, my temper glowering in the straining leash, I revolved her conduct and tried to puzzle out its meaning. It is clear, thought I, that she does not care for me as people about to marry usually profess to care. Then, does she wish to break the engagement? That tamed my anger instantly. Yes, I thought on, she wishes to be free to free me.
