There was a half-comprehending burst of applause, Dr Drummond's the first clap. It was a curious change from the simple colloquial manner in which young Murchison had begun and to which the audience were accustomed; and on this account probably they stamped the harder. They applauded Lorne himself; something from him infected them; they applauded being made to feel like that.
Why had he deceived her? It had all been in his hands, her fate and future; but almost before the bridal flowers had faded, she had come to know two bitter things: that he had married with a sordid mind; that he was incapable of the love which transmutes the half-comprehending, half-developed affection of the maid into the absorbing, understanding, beautiful passion of the woman.
Presently Mabel began to laugh unrestrainedly, much to Martie's half-comprehending embarrassment. The men, far from seeming to be shocked by her hysteria, laughed violently themselves. "Time f'r 'nother round cocktails!" Jesse said. Martie turned to her husband. "Wallace! Don't order any more. Not until we've had some solid food, anyway. Can't you see that we don't need them?" "What is it, dear?"
The doctor motioned me to a table behind the screen of which Kitty had spoken. There Helen had sat, there lay her writing case, the key sealed in an envelope addressed to me. Picking up a slip of paper torn from a letter pad, he asked: "Is this also Miss Winship's writing?" He held it out to me and I read the single line: "Don't tell Father." Dazed, half-comprehending, I repeated: "Yes."
"But you you've quite reformed now?" said the jeweller, resuming his seat and making a great effort to hide his consternation. "I 'ope so," said Mr. Burge, with alarming humility; "but it's an uncertain world, and far be it from me to boast. That's why I've come here." Mr. Higgs, only half-comprehending, sat back gasping.
It, was, indeed an extraordinary room. Ste. Marie looked about its mellow glow with a half-comprehending wonder, and he looked at the man beside him curiously, for here was another side to this many-sided character. Captain Stewart smiled. "You like my museum?" he asked. "Few people care much for it except, of course, those who go in for the Oriental arts.
Saddleback had followed in a half-comprehending way, till he saw what she was doing. Then when she, tired with digging, came out, he went into the hole, and after snuffing about went on with the work, throwing out the earth between his hind legs; and when it was piled up behind he would come out and push it yet farther away.
