He called and warbled every day, as if he felt sure she was within ear-shot, and could be hurried up. Now he warbled half-angrily or upbraidingly, then coaxingly, then cheerily and confidently, the next moment in a plaintive, far-away manner. He would half open his wings, and twinkle them caressingly, as if beckoning his mate to his heart. One morning she had come, but was shy and reserved.
The staring eyes relaxed their regard of the starry heavens. The lids flickered, then the eyes themselves turned in the direction whence came those sonorous tones. "You ken hear?" Bud's words came on the instant, and were full of triumph. Then he turned to the girl who had promptly relinquished Jeff's hand. "We ain't got a thing to hand him, 'cep' it's water," he said half-angrily.
He put out his hand, took hold of the whisky decanter, and as he drew back his arm he saw that instead he held the enamelled flagon in his grasp. "Well, well," he said, looking at it half-angrily, "if it is to be, it must be."
Then Tom half-angrily roused himself, and pressed his hands to the eyes that burned like fire, and tried to collect his bewildered senses. What! slip out of life like a drowned rat and never see Rose again, nor tell her what he knew of the man she had chosen in preference to him. She would be glad to know he was dead, he told himself with fierce bitterness.
"Yes, keep it up!" cried a voice out of the darkness. "Keep it up, and perhaps some beaver'll come along and build a dam to get you out of that mess you're in! You're always getting into trouble, you two!" "You've got your nerve with you!" exclaimed Willy, half-angrily.
They develop electricity and give electrical discharges." "Well!" said Zara. "You say 'Well! as if you did not know!" I exclaimed half-angrily, half-laughingly. "These fish have helped me to understand a great deal, I assure you.
But immediately the smile melted, and her lips shook. "Anyway, I'm glad you're home again, Peter!" she added. "Home again," he answered, half-angrily. "I should hope I am and high time, too! Has this this money been turned over to Anne?" "Not yet. Nobody gets anything until the estate is cleared a year or more from now." "And do you tell me that she will have the effrontery to take it?"

Sir Rupert looked half-angrily, half-tenderly, at this incorrigible girl. In his heart he knew that he was conquered already.

She shook her head; then, as his face fell, she began to apologize. "Your father has been so awfully kind to me. I am so grateful. And the girls are awfully good to me. But, Millings, you know? I wouldn't have told you," she said half-angrily, "if I hadn't been so sure you hated it." They had come to the edge of the mesa, and there below shone the small, scattered lights of the town.
"Did Millard tell you so?" demanded Jack Benson, his eyes now very wide open. "He let me believe as much," the girl replied, one hand toying with a fold of her dress, while she glanced down. "And that is the truth, is it not?" "No!" broke, half-angrily, from young Benson. The passion would have rung in his denial, but he remembered that he was talking to this girl about her betrothed husband.
