Betty, seeing his embarrassment, was about to take pity upon him when something happened that they had not bargained for. It began to rain, not gently, but in a deluge, taking the girls completely by surprise. Instinctively they turned toward the car, but Mollie suddenly began to laugh in a half-hysterical manner. "This is what I call fun," she said.
And it could watch Isabella." Isabella was the mother mouse. "And when I'm better I could take it walking." "That," said Harmony gravely, "is mighty fine of you, Jimmy boy. I I'll think about it." She never denied Jimmy anything, so now she temporized. "I'll ask Peter." Harmony had a half-hysterical moment; then: "Wouldn't it be better," she asked, "to keep anything of that sort a secret?
The formidable aristocrat and millionaire was dead. Everything went on along the usual lines. The customary stir and unceremonious bustle, instead of cautious whispering, rose around the dead body, in preparation for a fashionable funeral. No near relatives were present except his wife, and she was confined to her room, half-fainting, half-hysterical.
A low bed with a huge canopy of silk stood against the wall. A woman knelt on the floor beside it, and against her knees huddled a little half-grown boy. I heard Miela's voice shouting in her own language. The sound of men running came from below. Then Miela's half-hysterical laughter, and then the words: "They are running away, Alan all of them. I have been calling you to bring me the light-ray.
At the same time the other savage assisted Betty to remount the horse, and, grasping the bridle of that obstinate creature, followed his comrade. The whole thing was so sudden, so violent, and the result so decisive, that the boy looked back at Betty and burst into a half-hysterical fit of laughter, but the girl did not respond. "It's a serious business, Tolly!" she said.
She was still in the grip of that violent half-hysterical impulse which had possessed her since the evening of Bella Morrison's visit.
Of course she had known it all along, she had feared now on the side of distance, now that he might speak too soon, then wondered if he would ever speak at all, while she was all the while putting him off, strange contradiction. "Say that you love me. Just say it once and I will live on it for weeks." "Oh, Allin, you would grow thin!" She gave a little half-hysterical laugh.
But Curtis was unemotional as an icicle; or, at any rate, he looked it, which was all that the half-hysterical girl by his side could ascertain by an occasional timid glance. The fact lent her a sort of courage to persevere to the end, and she signed her maiden name for the last time with a numb confidence in the man whom she had, so to speak, bargained for as a husband in an emergency.
But as far as he could see with that confounded sergo staring! there was nothing else for it. He couldn't stand there in the rain forever, gossiping with a girl half-hysterical or pretending to be. "You see," she explained when the fiacre was again under way, "I thought I had a hundred-franc note in my pocketbook; and so I have but the pocketbook's back there, in my room at Troyon's."
"Well, sonny, any news from the old girl at the Summit?" "No-o," hastily stammered the editor, with a half-hysterical laugh. "No, Jack. Excuse me a moment." "All right; busy, I see. Hasta manana."
