I'm not sure it matters that the men who do the work don't often share the results of it. We bury them beside our bridge trestles and under tons of shattered rock, and, perhaps, when their time comes, some of them aren't sorry to have done with it. Anyway, they've stood up to man's primeval task." He rose with another half-deprecatory laugh, but his eyes snapped.
One could see that he did not lack the sense of humor, and he told an anecdote simply but without failing to make its points tell. His voice lacked volume, and seemed thin and rather high-keyed. It was half-deprecatory in tone, with an air of shyness, and he had a way of glancing quickly from one to another, as if looking for signs of response to his venture into talk.
"And perhaps" he spoke cautiously, with a half-deprecatory glance at her bright face "perhaps in time, you know you will be able to forgive me for something else as well." "I think the less we say about that the better," remarked Molly, tilting her chin a little. "All right!" said Charlie equably. "Only, you know" his voice was suddenly grave "I was and am in earnest." Molly laughed.
But our line is unique in this regard. We are conditioned by a pride, as great as the shame I have spoken of. On account of it, no one of us may enter marriage without public ceremony of as much circumstance as is expedient." The storm-lights had gone down and a half-deprecatory, half-embarrassed expression, made the face look so quite like any other man's, that Skag smiled.

"There must be no quarrel here," she said to Rance. "While I protect your right as my guest, don't oblige me to remind you of mine as your hostess." She turned with a half-deprecatory air to Ridgeway; but he was gone. So was her father. Only Rance remained with a look of ill-concealed triumph on his face. Without looking at him, she passed toward the door. When she reached it, she turned.
Steele is indeed dead, we have enough to trouble us without that." And with a last glance at me, which ended in a wavering half-deprecatory smile, she stepped back and passed into her own room. The mood in which I proceeded to my own quarters was as thoughtful as any I had ever experienced. Hitherto I had mainly admired Mrs.
She did observe, however, that Jennie paid the strictest attention throughout the service, joining in the Lord's Prayer, and in the hymns with a vigor which indicated thorough enjoyment of that portion of it. The moment the benediction was pronounced she came directly to her and greeted her with a half-deprecatory air, but with a roguish gleam in her saucy eyes.
"Come, stranger," he said, in a half-deprecatory, half-spiteful tone, "you needn't a be so short-horned about it, I guess; I didn't mean no offence but you know you left us so suddintly never mind 'taint no business o' mine. You're going to take a hand at faro, ain't you?" "Perhaps." "Wal, then, it appears a nice game. I'm jest trying it for the first time myself.
