In time Joyselle would learn to evade these pitfalls, with which their future seemed to bristle, but as yet he was so unused to avoiding things in his path that it was almost a miracle that she had, as she put it with a half-whimsical, half-despairing smile, got him safely home without an outburst.
Meantime, the bitter, half-despairing cry, "O Lord, how long!" was going up from the lips of brokenhearted wives and mothers all over the land, and year by year this cry grew deeper and more desperate. All hope in man was failing from their hearts.
One would have thought that their own half-despairing efforts to invest in worthy outward shape the vague inward impressions of sublimity, and the consciousness of an implicit ideal in the commonest scenes, might have made them susceptible of some disgust or alarm at a species of burlesque which is likely to render their compositions no better than a dissolving view, where every noble form is seen melting into its preposterous caricature.
The girl had noticed that her father's eyes always rested upon her in a mute, half-despairing appeal, yet she had not courage to question him upon the matter. "If I could only speak to Mr. Lawson, but there is a restraint between us that I suppose under the circumstances is only natural. I am the affianced wife of Hubert Tracy and Phillip Lawson is not the man to take advantage of his influence."
He stopped irresolutely, and cast a last, long, half-despairing look around him. Hitherto he had given that part of the wood nearest the plain his greatest attention. His glance now sought its darker recesses. Suddenly he became breathless. Was it a beam of sunlight that had pierced the groined roof above, and now rested against the trunk of one of the dimmer, more secluded giants?
"Susan, I thought I heard WAS Miss Stewart here?" he demanded excitedly. With only the briefest of hesitations and a half-despairing, half- relieved look into Susan's startled eyes, the young girl hurried forward. "Indeed I'm here," she cried gayly, giving a warm clasp to his eagerly outstretched hand "How do you do? Susan was just saying ."
"There is nothing in my thoughts that you cannot read so " He lifted the eyes in question, half-despairing despite the smile he had schooled into them. "Why rehearse it all again?" Her face clouded. He turned his gaze on the single dome and four minarets of the Mosque of Suleyman.
"No, you don't understand yet ... must you still have the whole truth ... even if I tell you that you can serve me best by not asking it?" "I must have it, because I am honest in believing that I can serve you best by knowing it all." "Very well." She raised her hands in a half-despairing gesture and into her eyes welled a flood of passion as if a dam had broken and made concealment futile.
But what a mistake you have made, my fine fellow! You have given no sign of starvation to the body. It is strong, terribly strong. It has the mad, half-despairing gesture of drowning." Wolfe stammered, glanced appealingly at Mitchell, who saw the soul of the thing, he knew. But the cool, probing eyes were turned on himself now, mocking, cruel, relentless.
You did the rescuing, not I. It came to me then how it would be, always, with me and Sadie. I'd have to stand aside and see others " "SADIE!" cut in Jimmy, sharply. "Yes; Sadie Dean. You act surprised. Didn't you know? Haven't you suspected how I felt toward Sadie?" cried Jamie. "Have I kept it so well to myself, then? I tried to, but " He finished with a faint smile and a half-despairing gesture.
