Before long there was a general departure, and Lightmark, flushed with the triumphs of a conversation in which, in the very centre of an admiring group of his antagonist's worshippers, he had successfully measured swords with a notorious wit, turned to look for his wife; and, for the first time, meeting Oswyn's eye, half-involuntarily advanced to greet him.
"And when will you come back?" "As soon as I can," he answered, half-involuntarily. There was a turn of the head half toward him, something expectant in the tilt at the corner of her parted lips, which made it practically impossible to make any other answer. "Why?" she asked, in little more than a whisper then she broke into a gay laugh and leapt off the wall. She walked quickly past him.
I should like this, if it weren't for the clinics and the students and such things, and if I could be a little nearer home." "When do you go home?" "Christmas, if I live till then," Phebe laughed; but her mirth sounded rather lugubrious. Then she added half-involuntarily, "I wonder what you must think of me, Mr. Barrett. I'm not generally given to this kind of a scene."
Having neither friend nor sister to whom to confess that he was in trouble have confided it he could not in any case, seeing it involved blame of the woman his love for whom now first, when on the point of losing her for ever, threatened to overmaster him he wandered to the stables, which he found empty of men and nearly so of horses, half-involuntarily sought the stall of the mare his father had given him on his last birthday, laid his head on the neck bent round to greet him, and sighed a sore response to her soft, low, tremulous whinny.
Here and there men fell from their saddles, and the riderless horses galloped away. The notes of a bugle were heard above the din, and the Union skirmish line retired rapidly to the foot of the ridge. Miss Lou saw all this only as the eyes catch, half-involuntarily, what is passing before them.
She felt strangely shaken and agitated. The words her old friend had spoken had thrilled her as though by an electric shock. It was a message from the dead. Half-involuntarily she sank down on the bank in the very spot where Malcolm had picked the honeysuckle. She knew what it was to be tired now for the moment she felt weak and powerless as a little child.
"And so was I!" I shouted valiantly. "It's not your luggage, and you sha'n't have it, you old beast!" The last word came out half-involuntarily, and I was terribly frightened as soon as it had escaped my lips. I do not know how Mr Ladislaw or Miss Henniker took it, for I dare not look up.

That rare and touching beauty was clouded now; and an intense expression of anxiety, fear almost terror gleamed from out the troubled depths of her fine dark eyes. "The Countess of Seyton!" I half-involuntarily exclaimed, as with my very best bow I handed her ladyship a chair. "Yes; and you are a partner of this celebrated firm, are you not?"
