That such action was in a remote degree possible to a well-conditioned fleet may be guardedly conceded; but it was wildly improbable to a fleet staggering under such a blow as the day had seen, which had changed its commander just as dark came on, and was widely scattered and disordered up to the moment when signals by flags became invisible.
But at this her fortitude gave way; she jumped up to shake herself free. There was a short tussle. Her cap fell off, and all the dusky curtain of her hair about her shoulders ran rippling to her middle. No concealment could avail between them now. She stood a maid confessed, by her looks confessing, who watched him guardedly with lips a-quiver. Falve did not hesitate to take her hand.
As it neared Joanna could see, in the light thrown out from the hallway and the front windows, that the figure wore skirts of dark blue. The next instant the umbrella was tilted back at a reckless angle, and a voice called guardedly out of the mist: "O Joanna is that you? Hush don't answer out loud!" "Miss Sally!" Joanna, amazed, crossed the porch to meet her young mistress.
Then we returned in the gathering dusk to our camp under the trees across the way. A man rose from a seat against a tree trunk. "Good evenin', stranger," said he. "Good evening," responded Johnny guardedly. "You are the man who stuck up Scar-face Charley in Morton's place, ain't you?" "What's that to you?" replied Johnny. "Are you a friend of his?"

What he saw must have satisfied him that there would be no more use for his machine for a time, at least; for he pushed it to a place where there was a break in a fence and concealed it behind a musty-looking corn shock, left from the fall before. Then placing the glass under his arm he walked guardedly along the road in the direction of Miss Vale's car.
Well, now, young Pryder's father is a policeman sergeant in the Borough Constabulary, and naturally he's opportunities of knowing. And when he knows he talks in the home circle, Mr. Brent." "Been talking?" asked Brent. "Guardedly, sir, guardedly!" replied Peppermore.
She had accepted her aunt's invitation to stay at Trenby Hall rather guardedly in the first instance, but when, as the visit drew towards its end, Lady Gertrude had proposed that she should make her home there altogether, she had jumped at the offer.
"Also," said Vaura, "the hotel and American are both of to-day." "You havn't given us the newest London scandal, Sir Tilton," said Mrs. Haughton, thinking of her plot. "Political or social?" he asked, somewhat guardedly. "Social, of course; I don't care a fig for the country."
Then Jeter whispered again, guardedly as usual. "There seems to be nothing we can do. If our friends are able, by some miracle, to do something, you know what that means to us?" "It means we're as good as dead no matter what happens," replied Eyer. "But we're only two and there must be a million buried under the debris in New York City alone. If we can do anything at all...." There he left it.
