And after a second, as the two stood together, a deep flush rose on Catherine's face, and an expression of half-frightened apology dawned in Mrs. Thornburgh's. Catherine drew herself away. 'Will you please give Mr. EIsmere his mackintosh? she said, taking it off; 'I shan't want it this little way. And putting it on Mrs.
"Because well, because it doesn't happen in real life, and I've tried to make this play real, more than anything else." When Norma Berwynd and her husband arrived Phillips had completely regained his composure, and he greeted them cordially. The woman seemed awed, half-frightened, by her sudden rise to fame. She seemed to be walking in a dream, and a great wonder dwelt in her eyes.
Carrington and Mr. Horace Dinsmore were conversing near by. Lucy ran up to her papa and seated herself upon his knee with her arm around his neck; while Elsie stopped a moment to speak to Herbert, and then timidly approaching her father, with her eyes upon the floor, said in a low, half-frightened tone, that reached no ear but his, "I am very sorry about the vase, papa."
Grant's whole attitude changed, as well as his tone. "Aren't you afraid to push the white man down into the dirt, and raise up the INDIAN?" She cast a swift, half-frightened glance up into his face and the eyes that glowed ominously in the moonlight. "When people make the blunder of calling up the Indian," he went on steadily, "they usually find that they have to deal with the Indian."
She needs a little change." "Dear me, no, that will never do," protested the little woman, with her usual half-frightened look at Henry. "Mr. Burr wouldn't think that nice at all." "I mean that Mr. Burr shall be too much occupied in thinking how nice I am to do any other thinking," said Madeline. "That's like the dress you wore to the picnic at Hemlock Hollow," said Henry.
She cast a half-appealing look at his face a half-frightened one around the room and at the open door beyond. "Let us," she said faintly, "go into the conservatory." It is but a few years ago that the veracious chronicler of these pages moved with a wondering crowd of sightseers in the gardens of the White House.
She could not explain, even to herself, the queer, half-frightened thumping of her heart, nor the amazing shyness, nor the ridiculous feeling that it would be improper for her to be alone with him at night. But why, she argued, why should it be improper? What could be wrong in going to see her own brother? What difference did it make whether it was night or day?
He looked so drolly abashed as he stood before them, with his clothes torn and soiled from the fall, his face red, and his eyes downcast, all the while industriously twisting the piece of clematis in and around his fingers, that Lady Anne's half-frightened anger could not last. She and her cousin exchanged glances, and smiled at one another.
The eyes of the two lovers turned from the book to mingle their glances, and then to turn away in a confusion that was conscious. Hand would touch hand, apparently by accident; and when conversation ceased, Abelard would often hear the long, quivering sigh which showed the strange, half-frightened, and yet exquisite joy which Heloise experienced.
After this you go, marching very stately, into the nursery, and utterly amaze the old nurse; and make a deal of wonderment for the staring, half-frightened baby, who drops his rattle, and makes a bob at you as if he would jump into your waistcoat-pocket.
