But the Lord has been doing great things for him already, and, I doubt not, means to do greater things for him yet." The young man stepped forward up to the old man's chair, and held out his hand to him. John Price grasped it eagerly with both his own thin, wasted hands, and looking at him with a half-astonished, half-distressed gaze, said abruptly, in a hoarse, choking voice, "What's your name?"
Keeping a gaze, in which pleasure and wonder were powerfully blended, on that soft look of affection which beamed from her mother's eye, she felt hurriedly among the folds of her dress, and drawing a belt that was gaily ornamented after the most ingenious fashion of her adopted people, she approached her half-pleased, half-distressed parent, and, with hands that trembled equally with timidity and pleasure, she arranged it around her person in a manner to show its richness to the best advantage.
"Isn't that perfect in its propriety, besides bringing things to the exact point where she wants them to be?" whispered Eurie to Flossy as they waited in the hall. "Oh, it takes Ruth to manage." "I wonder," said Flossy, with her far-away look, and half-distressed, wholly-perplexed curve of the lip "I wonder if it is strictly true; that is what troubles me a good deal." Oh, Dr.
She lifted her teacup, he lifted his, the two gazing at each other over the brims, both half-distressed, half-comforted by the fact that Love still remained their toast-master after the passing of all the years. Of a sudden Angy exclaimed, "We fergot ter say grace."
"Oh!" said Mr. Longdon a little blankly. Then as if to retrieve his blankness: "But why do you call her Nancy? Wasn't her name Blanche?" "Exactly Blanche Bertha Vanderbank." Mr. Longdon looked half-mystified and half-distressed. "And now she's Nancy Toovey?" Vanderbank broke into laughter at his dismay. "That's what every one calls her." "But why?" "Nobody knows.
She gave him a half-distressed look, then smiled brightly. "We won't talk of it any more," she said "ever. Now do sit down and tell me what you have been doing all this time. How have you been getting along with your work?" "All right, except one morning when I overslept." "Overslept? Oh, Kirk!" she said, reproachfully.
Bob turned a puzzled, half-distressed face to Mr. Linton. "I say, sir what is it?" "It's just that, my boy," said David Linton. "The district had a fancy to help you Cunjee thinks a heap of soldiers, you see. So a lot of the fellows got together and planned to put in a day on the creek, doing odd jobs."
"I destroyed it at once. I hated to see it, to touch it." "I am sorry you did that. It might have contained some clew. Tell me all, Madge. Surely, darling, you don't believe " "Jack, how can you think so?" She glanced up at him with a tender, trustful, and yet half-distressed look in her eyes. "Forgive me, dear. It is not that I doubt you, but but I must ask you one question. You are a free man?
She had for so long accustomed herself to the idea that Teddy was her own peculiar property, and that, of course, she intended to marry him, that but for his half-distressed perturbation, she would have thought no more of the momentous "Yes" than of voicing some long-formed opinion. Now his throbbing excitement had become contagious. She found herself fluttering and tongue-tied.
"Oh, dear me, Elsie!" Miss Arabella gave a half-distressed little laugh. "You know they wouldn't, one o' them, dast look at you. You know right well I mean the doctor." The girl bent lower over her work, and a flush crept over her face. She shook her head decidedly. "Oh, no! no! Arabella. You are all wrong. Dr. Allen has no more idea of caring for me in that way than I of caring for him.
