Maurice, pounding away on Edith's roof, grew hot with misery, not because it was so terrible to have Eleanor angry with him; not even because he had finally got mad, and answered back, and said, "Don't be silly!" The real misery was something far deeper than this half-amused remorse. It was that those harmless, scolding words of his held a perfectly new idea: he had said, "Don't be silly."
Santoris looked down the table with a curious air of half-amused inspection. His eyes, clear and searching in their swift glance, took in the whole group of us Mr. Harland enjoying succulent asparagus; Dr. Brayle drinking champagne; Mr.
"Whom do you mean, then?" asked Arthur Merlin. "Yourself, of course," said the gentleman with the half-amused face. "How?" inquired Arthur. "To guard against Venus rising from the fickle sea, or Hope descending from a carriage," rejoined his companion, putting out his hand.
I hope you're not offering to speculate in half-finished holes, or anything of that sort, eh?" "Sit down here, my boy, and I'll tell you all about it." Tom obeyed, and, with a half-surprised and more than half-amused expression, listened to his companion's narration of the scene that had just taken place, and of the plan which he had formed in his mind. This plan was carried out the following day.
Now and then, when details of some unusually scandalous proceeding of the Council's leaked out, the townspeople roused for a brief space from their customary indifference would discuss the matter in a casual, half-indignant, half-amused, helpless sort of way; but always as if it were something that did not directly concern them.
The old woman in charge gabbles away for dear life, and, not feeling that I am progressing very rapidly, I lay down a media and take up the plantain. The Baron comes to my rescue with a half-amused, half-vexed smile. "She haf cheat you," and he levels a volley of Spanish at the old criminal.
The pallid moon shone down pitilessly upon the dead, white face that stared up at me through its grime and blood, with the same half-tolerant, half-amused contempt of me that it had worn in life; the drawn lips seemed to mock me, and the clenched fists to defy me still; so that I shivered, and turned to watch the oncoming light that danced like a will-o'-the-wisp among the shadows.
On his strictly legal performances in this issue I prefer not to speak; there were those who denied them, although the jury had accepted them in the face of the ruling of the half-amused, half-cynical Judge himself.
"As you like it," said Shakespeare, bowing, half-amused and wholly mystified. "Good!" she retorted, brightly. "'As You Like It' shall you name the piece, that henceforth this our conversation you may bear in mind." Smiling, he took up his papers and wrote across the top of one of them "As You Like It" in large characters. "Now write as I shall bid you," Phoebe said.
Hamil's curious and half-amused gaze rested on her as he resumed the oars. But when he turned his back and headed the boat shoreward a quick protest checked him, and oars at rest, he turned again, looking inquiringly at her over his shoulder. "I am only rowing you back to the beach," he said. "Don't row me in; I am perfectly able to swim back."
