Only half-convinced, Mary nodded that she understood, but still proceeded to wipe her eyes at intervals. "Then, there's another thing," continued Betty. "If you sit and brood over your mortification, it will spread all over your sky like a black cloud, till it will seem bigger than any of the good times you have had.
The objection to Carter is that he's only half-convinced; he couldn't talk straight if he wanted to, and that lecture tour of his in the United States ten years ago pushing reciprocity with the Americans would make awkward literature."
Nancy was only half-convinced, but the easiest thing was to accept Sally May's explanation. Nancy had many friends and she was able to love them all. She found it hard to understand Judith's exclusive attitude.
"Her innate sense of the ridiculous was suddenly excited, and half-convinced, and half-joking, still tearful and her heart sore with grief, she said, looking at us all: 'Do you really mean it? And we replied all at once: "'We really mean it."
"What have I to do with It, who am more helpless before It than you? Go; and give thanks that you may." "Listen," I commanded, as firmly as I could.

And yet he was by no means the sort of man to be merely curious.

McMurray possessed the colour-sense, and I trembled. I tried to explain gently to Carlotta the undesirability of such a costume for outdoor wear in London; but with tastes there is no disputing, and I saw that she was but half-convinced. She will require training in aesthetics. She is very submissive. I said, "Run away now to Antoinette," and she went with the cheerfulness of a child.
