"I suppose not," replied Harvey with a half-laugh, as he seated himself; "I started out for a walk to-day and went too far that is, so far that I lost my way. I had about made up my mind that I would have to sleep in the woods, when I caught the light from your window and made for it." The glance that passed between Hugh and Tom sly as it was did not elude the eye of Harvey Bradley.
Give him a chance for education, to know something of the world he lives in, to catch one or two free breaths before he dies. He has been the man in the iron cage, since his birth, it seems to me." She got up as she spoke, rang the bell, and gave the baby to its nurse, wrapping it up in a blanket or two. When she turned, her husband was standing on the hearth-rug, a half-laugh in his eyes.
"And the other ones," Tembaron suggested as he paused "Lady Beatrice and Lady Gwynedd and Lady Honora and Lady Gwendolen." "You remember their names well," Palliser remarked with a half-laugh. "Oh, I shall remember them all right," Tembarom answered. "I earned twenty-five per in New York by getting names down fine." "The Talchesters are really all rather taking.
Dart took him by his greasy collar. Even the brief rush had left him feeling like a living thing which was a new sensation. "Give it up," he ordered.

What do I care for Glyn?" "Ever so much," said Burney. "I don't suppose you want another licking." "Look here, Burney, none of your cheek, please, or else somebody else will get a licking. None of that. You were always a sneak, and trying to curry favour with the Indian nigger." "Curry, eh?" said Burney with a half-laugh. "Well, suppose I did. I like Indian curry." "Do you.
He's a very good 'un to go; and pleased the governor would be if he knew the use I had put him to," he concluded, with a half-laugh. Phoebe knew as well as he did what that use was.

A damper had fallen over the spirits of his guests after Wynne had gone out into the night on his foolish errand, and the fury against him that had stirred Nigel's soul was gradually wearing off. "Well, Wynne said twelve, didn't he?" he remarked, with a sort of half-laugh as he surveyed the grave faces of the men who were seated in a semi-circle about him, "and twelve it is.
At West Haven Green Winthrop turned out of the track of the racing monsters into a quiet street leading to the railroad station, and with a half-sigh, half-laugh, leaned back comfortably.
