When John came down she was quite civil to him even friendly. She said it would really be a comfort to her, that another fine, strapping lad should sleep in Bill's bed, and be coming in and out of her house just like her poor dear boy. I felt rather doubtful of the resemblance, and indeed half-angry, but John only smiled.
All he could do was to stand half a yard, yet a whole world, apart looking at her, his heart beating with all the remorseful half-angry tenderness of love. Since it was not his to console her, he was almost impatient of her tears.
He imagines himself, I find, to be a very polite man, and cannot bear to be thought otherwise. Then that is your misfortune, Mr. Lovelace, as well as mine, at present. It is not habit. It is too much seen by fits and starts, and sallies, and those not spontaneous. You must be reminded into them. O Lord! O Lord! Poor I! was the light, yet the half-angry wretch's self-pitying expression!
You know exactly what I mean. To put the thing plainly, Le Mire is a dangerous woman none more so in all the world; and, Harry boy, be sure you keep your head and watch your step." He stood for a moment looking at me in silence with a half-angry frown, then opened his mouth as though to speak, and finally turned, without a word, and started for the door.
Anne, with her hands over her face, was evidently crying; and Millicent, grasping the wooden doll with both hands, was making as much noise as she possibly could in a series of half-angry little sobs.
It was as though some secret understanding sprang up between them, though Keith, in half-angry confusion, could not have analyzed it. After this they compared notes until they found several songs they both knew. Mrs. Morrell brushed aside Keith's suggestion that she herself should sing, but she did it in a way that left the implication that he was the important one vocally. "No, no!
At the same time, the cow, somewhat worried by being driven pretty fast down the rocks, came running out into the road, and when she saw Caleb coming towards her, and with such antics, began to cut capers too. She came on, in a kind of half-frolicsome, half-angry canter, shaking her horns; and Caleb, before he got very near her, began to be somewhat frightened.
"Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ri-i-kee!" cried the boy in a shrill, piercing voice; and, to the astonishment of the doctor and his daughter, he made a bound, and then, with wonderful skill and rapidity, began turning the wheel, as it is called, going over and over on hands and feet, completely round the room. "Here, stop, sir, stop!" cried the doctor, half-angry and half-amused.
Next morning, at breakfast, Amy Leffingwell kept, for the most part, a rapt and meditative eye on her plate. Hortense gave her now and then an impatient, half-angry glare, and had to be cut short in some stinging observations on Cope. "But it was foolish," Medora Phillips felt obliged to concede. "What in the world made you do it?" But Amy continued to smile at the table-cloth.
Kenkenes fairly gasped with his sudden descent from earnest hope to disappointment. A flood of half-angry shame dyed his face and the wound to his sensibilities showed its effect so plainly that the beauty noted it with a sudden burst of compunction. "Of a truth," she added, her voice grown wondrous soft, "I am full of sympathy for thee, Kenkenes. Nay, look up. I can not be happy if thou art not."
