"Now, mother, now, now," said the young fellow in half-impatient tones of consolation, as he took the handkerchief from her apron pocket and wiped her eyes, where tears began to spring. "You must trust a chap to do what's right. I ain't a fool. Don't you think about this again. I can take care of myself.
He made a jocular pass at placing his arm around the uncompromising waist-line of his portly wife, and when warded off by an only half-impatient shove he contented himself by winding one of her white apron strings around one of his long fingers as they leaned together over the gate for further parley with the Alloways across the road.

"Would I have asked you to marry me under those circumstances?" "You never asked me to marry you," said Joy in a subdued voice. She felt as if the world were coming down around her ears.

We are also told that the Prince's horsemanship excited the amazed admiration of the spectators, to the Queen's half-impatient amusement.
Often the unwilling guide; for he had the half-impatient breathless instincts of the man who has set himself a task, and painfully doubts whether he will have power and time to finish it. The claims made upon him seemed to him often to cost him physical and brain energy he could ill spare. But his quick tremulous sympathy rendered him really a defenceless prey in such matters.
"I have one, and Spurlock, the line-chief, has one. Hallock has the third." "Always Hallock!" was the half-impatient comment. "I hope you don't suspect him of stealing your wire."
