The interior was dark and awfully still, and the three white men paused on the threshold doubtfully, regarding each other with half-ashamed faces.
She was silent for a moment, watching him with a curious, half-ashamed feeling. Then she made an abrupt movement. "It's hard to do so. A word or two, which you would not speak, would have led to the appointment of the most talented man. I'm not a saint; you mustn't expect a higher standard from me than I'm capable of." She dismissed him with an angry gesture and got up as Mrs.
"You shall be a sacrifice a burnt sacrifice to the God of Waste Places." He laughed at the conceit, half-ashamed of his own childishness, and crossing the stream by some boulders, he brushed away the earth and weed from the top of the great stone. Then he retraced his steps and gathered a handful of bleached twigs that the winter floods had left stranded along the margin of the stream.
I was just then drinking some water given me by Lizzy, whose pale troubled little face looked up so lovingly in mine that I felt half-ashamed for me, a poor private, to be so happy for I forgot my wounds then while my captain was in pain and suffering.

Even my few friends were half-ashamed of me.
Oh! how little do they know, who have never done anything but repeat after others by rote, the pangs, the labour, the yearnings and misgivings of mind it costs to get at the germ of an original idea to dig it out of the hidden recesses of thought and nature, and bring it half-ashamed, struggling, and deformed into the day to give words and intelligible symbols to that which was never imagined or expressed before!
Griffin's very large experience of such scenes as this. Indignant she might be, but the situation could not move her to any unwonted force of utterance. Enough that Bob drew back as soon as he was bidden, and seemed from his silence to be half-ashamed of himself.
She shook her head, and he went on with a kind of half-ashamed, whimsical tenderness: "Well, a man lived here once you never heard of a common Irishman just a common Irish politician the Tammany sort, just the sort the newspapers are so down on.
"Dear! you know perfectly well " They looked at each other, smiling, rueful, half-ashamed. It seemed like treason to the other girls, this mutual acknowledgment that Darsie was the flower of the flock, the child of the six to whom all strangers were attracted as by a magnet.
