Do not ask me to sully her name with the words!" cried Captain Pendleton, utterly overcome by his emotions. "Oh, my unhappy wife! Oh, my lost Sybil!" exclaimed Lyon Berners, reeling under the blow, half-expected though it might have been. There was silence for a few minutes. Pendleton was the first to recover himself.
Lord Hartledon turned his head quickly, and just caught Mr. Pike's head, thrust a little over the top of the gate, watching him. Pike must have crouched down when Lord Hartledon passed. He went back at once; and Pike put a bold face on the matter, and stood up. "So you occupy your palace still, Pike?" "Such as it is. Yes." "I half-expected to find that Mr.
As he had more than half-expected, the structure proved to be hollow, being built of massive slabs of marble as to the front and sides, but having no back, and for some reason which he was quite unable to divine, but which he was most heartily thankful for, there was a space left between the sides of the structure and the wall of the church just wide enough for him to squeeze through without undue discomfort, and so gain the interior of the altar.
Hawkes shoved past the women on the steps and headed down West End, trying not to seem in a hurry. His eyes turned up to the roof of the garage, but he could see nothing there; he'd half-expected that the slim young man would be parked up on the roof, waiting. Then the fear began, mounting slowly. He jerked around quickly, scanning the street.
Sally glanced at him rather sharply. She had half-expected this offer, and it is possible would have judiciously led him up to it if he had not made it.

"Still, I wasn't quite sure of it, and he's certainly dead. I buried him." His companion made a little abrupt movement, and he saw the sudden softening of her eyes. There was, however, only a gentle pity in them, and nothing in her manner suggested the deeper feeling he had half-expected. That was also a relief to him. "Then," she said, "I am sure that his father would like to meet you.
In any case the name Alert in gold leaf on her bows would have enlightened him. He was not particularly surprised to find Tommy's motor boat there. He had half-expected to find Tommy Ashe hereabouts. A man's head rose above the after companion-hatch as the canoe glided abreast. "Is Mr. Ashe aboard?" Thompson asked. The man shook his head. "Went up to Carr's camp a while ago."
We three Merry, Tim, and I came here to find you. The settlement of the Dawson estate hinges on you." "On me? How? I've no claim to it. Paul Dawson, Uncle Phil's son " "Is dead, too. Killed in action in the Argonne, You're next in line." McKay watched him keenly. So did Knowlton. The half-expected jubilance did not come. "So Paul's gone," was Rand's reply. "Hard luck.
At five o'clock she rose, unlocked her trunk, and took out a sealed packet which she slipped into the bosom of her dress. Even the contact with the packet did not shake her nerves as she had half-expected it would. She seemed encased in a strong armour of indifference, as though the vigorous exertion of her will had finally benumbed her finer sensibilities.
You force yourself hardily into the material presence of a mountain, or a river, whose name belongs to poetry and ancient religion, rather than to the external world; your feelings wound up and kept ready for some sort of half-expected rapture are chilled, and borne down for the time under all this load of real earth and water; but let these once pass out of sight, and then again the old fanciful notions are restored, and the mere realities which you have just been looking at are thrown back so far into distance, that the very event of your intrusion upon such scenes begins to look dim and uncertain, as though it belonged to mythology.
