She paused and looked behind her, scanning the pavement on both sides of the street. She was half-hoping that she would discover Carter or some of his men shadowing their quarry, but her hope was vain. There was no one in the block at the moment but herself and Mr. Hoff. If Fleck's men had been watching his movements, the old man certainly seemed to have eluded them. What should she do?
"Many a time I find my boys almost too much for one man to handle." Bert, clinging fast to his father's hand, and half-hoping he was in earnest, felt a pang of disappointment when he replied: "I'm afraid it's too late, Mr. Garrison. My school-days are past; except so far as I may be able to live them over with this little chap here. I will leave him with you now; do your best with him.
The Hertford children in olden days, when tales of ghost and goblin were more readily believed than they are to-day, used to thrill with delicious fear whenever in the dusk of the evening they passed the spot, and warily they would step over the stones, half-dreading, half-hoping to see, as legend said was possible, the spirit of the old warrior rise from the grave, swinging his gory tomahawk and uttering his blood-chilling war cry.
The French governess, half-doubting, half-hoping, but wholly longing to be near Lord Yalding even if he be as mad as a March hare, and the four children they have collected Mabel by an urgent letter-card posted the day before are going over the dewy grass. The moon has not yet risen, but her light is in the sky mixed with the pink and purple of the sunset.
"I'll sell you five hundred bushels at ninety-two," said the farmer, half-hoping that this green customer might be tempted to buy at this advance upon the regular rate. "Will you?" interrogated the stranger. "Yes." "I'm half-tempted to take you up. I really believe I no! I must knock over some wild-turkeys first. It won't do to come this far without bagging rarer game than wheat.
She paused, listening, half-fearing, half-hoping, that she had heard him returning. Then she heard his voice in the next room. He was talking to Tessa. She set her lips and went to her writing-table. "Oh yes, he can make it up with his child when he knows he has been brutal; but never a single kind word to his wife not one word!"
We're not talking a great deal about it, because nothing is settled, but if it becomes definite, I shall certainly advise it." Norma drank her tea, and listened, and threw in an occasional word. When the other women rose to go, she rose, too, perhaps half-hoping that Annie would hold her for a more intimate word.
He was half-hoping, half-fearing that it might be a bear, or a big Canadian lynx with dreadful eyes and tufted ears. But before any of these more formidable wonders arrived he heard a sound of rushing of eager, desperate flight. Then a rabbit came into view he felt sure it was one of the two who appeared at the beginning of his watch.
Perhaps you have noticed how the very sound of the gallop of a scared horse conveys fear. That is what we felt, we two conspirators, as we talked together, hearing that clattering alarm-note die away. "Martin," said Mr. Jermyn. "That was a woman. She chuckled as she galloped past me." "Are you sure, sir?" I asked, half-hoping that he might be right.
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.
