"That," said the old shepherd, in tones of mingled joy and reverence, "is the Child the angels told us about, the Child we came to see. We found him here in the stable, in a manger." "And I am not to see him?" "Yes, you are," said Samuel, and a grave-faced man brought the Child and laid Him in Dahvid's arms, the Child for whose coming the people had been longing for a thousand years.
J.M. rose to his feet and hurried down the porch toward the Petrofsky wing of the house, addressing himself to the tall, grave-faced figure in the doorway. "Oh, Mr. Petrofsky, may I have a few minutes' talk with you about your son?" he said.
And Billy looked furtively at Ronald, hoping he had not seen. Words and smile undoubtedly partook of the maternal! It was a very grave-faced young man who, half an hour later, appeared in Lady Ingleby's sitting-room, closing the door carefully behind him. Lady Ingleby knew at once that he had come on some matter which, at all events to himself, appeared of paramount importance.
"I do not know how many were below, sir," I answered, beginning dimly to conceive his purpose. "I never saw to exceed a dozen on deck in a watch." "Any evidence they were armed?" "I know they were not; the officers carried weapons, but would never trust the crew." "And only two officers remaining?" "There may be an engineer, sir." He pondered a moment, grave-faced, and silent.
He made his way instead to the servants' quarters and knocked at the door of the butler's sitting-room. There was no reply. He tried the handle in vain. The door was locked. A tall, grave-faced man in sombre black came out from an adjoining apartment. "You are looking for the person who arrived this evening from abroad, sir?" he enquired. "I am," Seaman replied. "Has he locked himself in?"
Here the car stopped; Pendleton got out, ascended the white marble steps and tugged at the polished, old-fashioned bell-handle. A grave-faced German, in dark livery, opened the door. "Mr. Ashton-Kirk will see you, sir," said he. "I gave him your telephone message as soon as he came down." "Thank you, Stumph," said Pendleton.
They were all waltzing again, and as Van Bibber guided his partner for a second time around the room, he noticed a particularly handsome girl in a walking-dress, who was doing some sort of a fancy step with a solemn, grave-faced young man in the hotel livery. They seemed by their manner to know each other very well, and they had apparently practised the step that they were doing often before.
He was gay, and therefore incomprehensible to a slow-thinking, grave-faced race. "What do I want with a heritage?" he asked, carelessly. "I am mate of 'The Last Hope' and that is all. Give me time. I have not made up my mind yet, but I think it will be No." And oddly enough, it was Colville who preached patience to his companions in suspense. "Give him time," he said.
At his approach the women and children will disappear into inner darkness. A dozen wolf-like dogs will rush out barking. Grave-faced men will respond silently to his salutation.
This grave-faced citizen came out with some papers in his hand, and the crowd was hushed into silence. Overhead anxious faces could be seen looking out at the window. It was not by the wishes of the Assembly that such letters were made public; but many of them had been addressed to James Freeman himself, and they could not restrain him from doing as he would with his own.
