And as it is, the danger is only half averted. For he, himself, is so little help. All must be done for him. He will do nothing for himself while this humour is upon him; you understand?" "Partly," he answered slowly. "Oh!" she exclaimed half-impatiently, "one sees that you are an Englishman." And she found time, even in her hurry, to laugh.
You never seem to like people doing kind things. Aren't you pleased that David took the trouble to pack all these things so carefully that they are not a bit scratched or spoilt, and aren't you obliged to Mrs. Hackney for making the room like our old sitting-room at home? demanded Vava half-impatiently. 'It was very good of David, and of course I am grateful to him; and Mrs.
Even Clare had fallen into the same mistake; and one day, as he sat talking with her on the verandah of Laura Fairford's house on the Sound where they now most frequently met Ralph had half-impatiently rejoined: "Oh, if you think it's literature I need !" Instantly he had seen her face change, and the speaking hands tremble on her knee.
Starmidge, who, like the rest of them, had been listening eagerly to Batterley's talk, turned sharply to him. "Did you say murdered, sir?" he said. "A well-known story!" answered the old man half-impatiently, as he rose from his chair. "An ancestor of these Chestermarkes he killed a man in that very room. Well that's what I suggest, Mr. Polke.

Now you had better go away; this is not at all the sort of music you would understand." "Classical, I suppose. I am afraid my taste is too uncultivated." "Come, Miss Leigh," said the Colonel, half-impatiently, "we are all expectation."

The day passed pleasantly, and seemed rather short for all that the two men wanted to pack into it; although from time to time Mr. Adair would say, half-impatiently, "I wonder how Caroline is getting on!" or "I hope she'll bring Margaret back with her! But I don't expect it, you know. Carry was always a great one for education and that sort of thing."

Ought I not to give them as much of myself as they want? Make a generous answer, and tell me that I am right." "You are always right too right!" he said, half-impatiently.

What have you been reading?" The capable gipsy face turned to the window again half-impatiently. "I have been reading nothing to-day," was the answer.
"Away with your blarney!" exclaimed Myra, half-laughingly, half-impatiently, but conscious of a queer little thrill as she met his smiling glance. "Do you pay every woman you meet such fulsome and extravagant compliments, señor?" "No, señorita, I am a connoisseur," answered Don Carlos, his tone quite serious but his black eyes twinkling.
For a second, only one, something quick and vital gripped at the wanderer's heart some vague, intangible longing for a home and a woman, a longing old as our race, deep-planted in the inmost citadel of every man's soul.
