Then, if there's really no danger of infection, you can go there early to-morrow," She looked inquiringly at Anna, as though half-expecting her to make some other suggestion. The sound of wheels on the gravel, and the tramp of horses, told that the Palmers were approaching: the wagonette, full of gay young people, drove up to the porch. "Are you ready, Anna?" called out Isabel's voice.
Whenever her father entered the house she watched his face anxiously, half-expecting him to say that the Machias men were ready to capture the gunboat before it could attack the town.
But while our foreigner has been hurrying from one palace to another, with his mind in a fog of historical and topographical confusion if he is an American, half-hoping, half-expecting to meet the Emperor or Empress and secure a bow from one or other, or why not? one of William's well-known vigorous poignées de main, there is always one thought predominant in his mind Sans Souci.
But above all, love me, for I love you more than life, and wisdom, and mystery!" Olivia understood, and she believed. The mystery of life had always been more real to her than its commonplaces, and all her years she had gone half-expecting to meet some one, unheralded, to whom all things would be clear, and who should make her know by some secret sign that this was so, and should share with her.

She was half-expecting to see her quarry turn in here, but he walked on to the middle of the next block, where he entered a stationery store.
For some moments, I stood staring up into the darkness, half-expecting that shadowy figure to reappear, descend the ladder, and rejoin me. Then I shook myself together. The fact that our plot was really moving, that Swain was in the enemy's country, so to speak, gave the affair a finality which it had lacked before. It was too late now to hesitate or turn back; we must press forward.
Scott had just gone to the village post-office with some letters, but she had refused to accompany him, for it was the hour when she usually sat with Isabel. She glanced at Eustace swiftly as he sat down, half-expecting a message from the sick-room.
This result was enough most seriously to damp the intense delight which Julian otherwise felt in his own success, and that of his three friends. Julian, half-expecting that he would be successful, had come up with Owen early in the day, and received the news from the porter as he entered the college.
But not once had he turned from his work in that listening attitude, or looked from the window as though half-expecting some one, without her noting it. And, always, her eyes had flashed with resentment, which she had promptly concealed when the painter, again turning to his easel, had looked from his canvas to her face.
