"He is a bore," said Mrs. Wilder, making the statement for the third time that evening, and thus disposing of Heath definitely. "It wasn't up to the usual mark," said Hartley, half-apologetically as he and Coryndon walked home together. "I felt so awkward about meeting Heath."
This and Lady That were half-apologetically retailed for his presumed delectation. As his eyes wandered, with his attention, furtively round the room, they presently encountered, in their passage from group to group, a face which seemed vaguely familiar the face of a woman, whom he certainly had never known, but whose beauty, he thought, was not appealing to his admiration for the first time.
Sir Charles expostulated mildly drawing her closer as he spoke, "it's the only chance, and " Then to the captain half-apologetically "She'll meet it with me, as she has met danger before, in the bush, like a true English-woman! But what," indicating the convicts' deck, "what about them? It seems inhuman, yet if they were let out " "They must not be!"
"Oh, that's safe enough where it is," said Allen. "If we can't find it, it's a pretty safe bet that nobody else can." "I vote we get into our bathing suits just as fast as we can," said Frank. "That is, if our visitors don't mind seeing a crazy race," he added, half-apologetically; for he remembered his manners just in the nick of time.
"That it is, sir. Why, if I'd known I believe I should have liked to travel outside, hanging on, with my legs in the water." "As a bait to tempt crocodiles, Pete?" "Oh, I say, don't, sir! You give one the shivers." As the lad spoke he peered over the side of the boat and half drew his bayonet from his belt. "Might be one of those beauties under the bottom now, sir," he said half-apologetically.
She had made that effort once before, prior to the tragedy, but its motive was hidden in obscurity. "Women are often very foolish," she went on, half-apologetically. "Having chosen their lover for his suitability they usually allow the natural propensity of their youthful minds to invest him with every ideal of excellence. That is a fatal error committed by the majority of women.
Then, awaking to her distress, he said quietly, "Then there is no hope for me?" Her face retained its look of pain. "Not ever? You could never ?" His cough shook him. "If there had been no other," she murmured, and her eyes drooped half-apologetically towards the necklace. The bitterness of death was in his soul. He had a sudden ironic sense of a gap in his mathematical philosophy.
He broke off abruptly, gazing at his companion half-apologetically. "We players, sir," he resumed, "present a jovial front, but" tapping his breast "few know what is going on here!" "Therein," said the younger man, emptying his pipe, "you have stated a universal truth." He pushed a smoldering log with his foot toward the remnants of the embers.
"But about a month ago I fell-in and said I couldn't kick my heels any longer. Hadn't two to kick, in point of fact!" He laughed softly at the grim jest. "So they lushed me up to this outfit, and gave me a job as King's Messenger. I'm carrying despatches between the Admiralty and the Fleet Flagship. Better'n doing nothing," he added half-apologetically.
After luncheon, Angela asked to see the ranch-house, and almost as soon as we were out of hearing, she said with disconcerting abruptness "Does your ranch pay?" She added half-apologetically, "I do so want to know." "It doesn't pay," I answered grimly. "You are not going behind?" she faltered, using the familiar phrase of the country in which she had spent as yet but three weeks.
