If Amy understood him, in what other way could she meet any approach to sentiment on his part than by a laughing scorn? If Miss Hargrove had divined the past, or had received a hint concerning it, why should she not shun his society? He was half-desperate, and yet felt that any show of embarrassment or anger would only make him appear more ridiculous.
"Oh, that I had your faith!" "It will come in time when long years have taught you his goodness." She slowly wiped her eyes, and stole a glance at Mr. Clifford. His earlier half-desperate restlessness had passed away, and he sat quietly in his chair gazing into the fire, occasionally wiping a tear from his eyes, and again looking upward with an expression of sublime submission.
You have seen, you must have felt, that my love for you was only that of a sister, and of course you soon began to feel toward me in the same way. I don't believe I would have married you had you waited an age. Don't fret, I'm not going to break my heart about you." "I should think not, nor will any one else. Oh, Amy, I so despised myself that I have been half-desperate."
Squalor, misery, ruin and vile stucco, with a sprinkling of half-desperate humanity, those are the elements of the modern picture, that is what the 'great development' of modern Rome brought forth and left behind it. Peace to the past, and to its ashes of romance and beauty.
"My dear father, I think I already know what you are about to tell me." "Ah, you have heard of the landing of the emperor?" "Not so loud, father, I entreat of you for your own sake as well as mine. Yes, I heard this news, and knew it even before you could; for three days ago I posted from Marseilles to Paris with all possible speed, half-desperate at the enforced delay." "Three days ago?
Hugo Canning as a morose recluse? She thought not: his light bitterness rang true enough, the note of a man really half-desperate with ennui. And she read his remarks as a subtle sign of his confidence, an acknowledgment of acquaintance between them, a bond.... "But you can't do it, I suppose? if your health demands that you put up with us a little while longer?" "I seem rude? of course.
As a proof of my fraternal I mean friendly confidence, I will tell you what it is, if you wish." "I don't propose to fail in any friendly obligations, Graydon," she replied, laughing, as they strolled out into the summer night, followed by Miss Wildmere's half-desperate eyes. As they walked down a path, Graydon said, "Take my arm; the pavement is a little rough.
Had Roger been just his normal self that afternoon his matter-of-fact, imperceptive self he would never have known how to answer Nan's half-desperate question, and the rose-garden might have witnessed a different ending to the scene.
We've had beautiful weather until this morning, when it rained for an hour. Chicken and some pudding. There's a little Australian wine that my sister keeps in the house for accidents. I liked it myself when I had it once for severe neuralgia." She suddenly, with a half-nervous, half-desperate gesture, put out her hand and took Maggie's.
But as I have said, although I could find no real cause to complain of infidelity, I was distracted and alarmed, and was at last driven to the half-desperate resolve of regaining my balance in this respect by obtaining complete possession of Minna. It seemed to me as though my stability as a citizen as well as my professional success would be assured by a recognised union with Minna.
