I concluded, by telling him that the affair must end then and there; that he must never address my sister again, or attempt to see her; and that if he dared to disregard my demand, he must take the consequences. They both hung their heads guiltily, while I was speaking, and when I closed, Pattmore quitted the room without a word. I found that he left town the same day.
"The President!" exclaimed Gordon; "but how? What does the President know or care about Opeki? and it would take so long oh, I see, the cable. Is that what you have been doing?" he asked. "Well, only once," said Stedman, guiltily; "that was when he wanted to turn me out of the consul's office, and I had a cable that very afternoon, from the President, ordering me to stay where I was.
Carolyn June laughed as the couple climbed out of the car and came, rather bashfully, in at the gate. Old Heck and Ophelia looked at each other guiltily. "We did come darn near it!" Old Heck chuckled, plunging at once into the task of breaking the news. "We got married I reckon you'd call that the next thing to eloping!" "Got married?" Skinny and Carolyn June cried together.
"I had to stand them some brandy, your Excellency," he said saucily, but catching his mistress's threatening look, he lowered his head guiltily. "Idiot," she yelled at him, "face about. Be off with you to the kitchen." In his befuddlement, Semyonov had not noticed Abramka's presence. Now he became aware of him, faced about and retired to the kitchen sheepishly.
We can spend the afternoon in my library. I have some new treasures to show you. We will lose ourselves. For a short time, at least, you shall forget." Mr. Waddington turned his head away quickly and glanced half guiltily towards his companion. To his amazement, Burton had been gazing in the same direction. Their eyes met. Burton coughed. "A remarkably fine woman, that," Mr. Waddington declared.
"Not very regularly," he replied, guiltily conscious of possessing two or three illegible letters from his daughter which he had not yet had the enterprise to decipher. "Then you did not expect me?" "Well, no, I can't say I did. But" with a praiseworthy if not altogether successful effort "I am very glad to see you, my dear."
Jan was ready enough now to blame herself for her absorption at this time, and would remember guiltily the relief with which she and her father greeted Fay's sudden willingness to remain a week longer in a place she previously had declared to be absolutely unendurable. The first time Tony's sister went to Amber Bridge Meg took them both.
To each man was assigned a definite object to achieve and he was sent forth to exercise all his resourcefulness toward a single end. The cleverest "shadows" in the department were set to watch the movements of those involved innocently or guiltily, in the merchant's death. Collins, the detective also favored with a "roper."
And then, suddenly, taking him quite at unawares, a firm step resounded upon the hard, smooth conglomerate of the broad passage-way, and "Here is Geof!" his mother announced. "You would hardly know him, Colonel!" The Colonel rose to his feet and turned toward the door, guiltily conscious that he had evaded the subject of Geof.
Like a rose-petal, he thought; cool and soft as a snowflake. He had never thought that a mere woman's hand could be so sweetly soft. He caught himself imagining the wonder of a caress from such a hand, and flushed guiltily. It was too gross a thought for her. In ways it seemed to impugn her high spirituality.
