She is very likely and genteel too genteel indeed, I think, for a servant. But what I like least of all in her, she has a strange sly eye. I never saw such an eye; half-confident, I think. But indeed Mrs. Lovelace officious in his introducing them, to oblige me? He withdrew very respectfully to the door, but there stopt; and asked for my company then in the dining-room.
She guided her step-mother through the first encounter, scrutinised my aunt, and got us all well in movement through the house, and then she turned her attention to me with a quick and half-confident smile. "We haven't met," she said, "since " "It was in the Warren." "Of course," she said, "the Warren! I remembered it all except just the name.... I was eight."
There was an old subject they had once discussed, but it had lost its recognised place in their attention, and even after their arrival in Rome, where many things led back to it, they had kept the same half-diffident, half-confident silence. "I recommend you to get the doctor's consent, all the same," Lord Warburton went on, abruptly, after an interval. "The doctor's consent will spoil it.
He had no business to do it! He had no right to do it! She was furious at him! She stood still, staring blankly ahead of her, in the centre of the room. The memory came over her in a wave; the odd, half-hesitating, half-confident look in his eyes as his arms enveloped her, the faint aroma of talcum powder and soap, the touch of his smoothly shaven cheek.
As long as I live," she repeated very earnestly, "I shall remember that it was here that the door of paradise was opened to us at last, and that God meant us to enter in." She lifted her eyes to his with a look half-shy, half-confident. "You believe in God," she said. He did not answer at once. He was looking out beyond her for the first time, and the restless fire had gone out of his eyes.
At that moment some one touched her on the arm, and she heard a strong, half-confident, half-apologetic voice exclaim: "Ain't dish yer Miss Doshy?" Turning, Miss Theodosia saw at her side a tall, gray-haired negro. Elaborating the incident afterward to her friends, she was pleased to say that the appearance of the old man was somewhat picturesque.
The motor drove away; and Lupin, taking the road to the lake with his two companions, replied: "Why? Because I didn't prepare the plan; and, when I don't do a thing myself, I am only half-confident." "Nonsense, governor! I've been working with you for three years now... I'm beginning to know the ropes!"
During the last ten years I have learnt to unravel his intrigues to understand and anticipate his manoeuvres.... Oh, his is a clever system! ... Instead of lying low, as you'd expect, he attacks his opponent ... openly.... He confuses him at least, he tries to." He smiled a half-confident, a half-doubtful smile, "It is a mass of entangled, mysterious combinations.
A pause; some only half-confident explanation, and enlargement upon the subject by the young man. The professor again: "H-u-u-m well now you may write no, you needn't just tell me the difference, in your opinion, between what are known as conjunctions and prepositions. Say what you please. We ask no odds of them. Be utterly free in your comment." More explanations by the young man.
The figure of Trenchard, standing exactly as I had left him, his hands uneasily at his sides, a half-anxious, half-confident smile on his lips, his eyes staring straight in front of him, absolutely compelled my attention. I had forgotten him, we had all forgotten him, his own lady had forgotten him. I withdrew from the struggling, noisy group and stepped back to his side.
