She sank lower yet on her elbow, turning half round under the downward push of the heavy hand, her face lifted up to him with spiteful eyes. "And she obeyed," she shouted out in a half-laugh, half-cry of pain. "Let me go, Tuan. Why are you angry with me? Hasten, or you shall be too late to show your anger to the deceitful woman."
It did not help his uneasiness that he could see that one of the two men, who turned away with a half-laugh, misunderstood or did not believe him. "How did you come with the Silsbees?" asked the first man. Clarence repeated mechanically, with a child's distaste of practical details, how he had lived with an aunt at St.
At least," she added coyly, "he said he'd refuse it didn't you?" The Deacon stared from one to the other as Mr. Letgood, with a forced half-laugh which came from a dry throat, answered: "That would be going perhaps a little too far. I said," he went on, catching a coldness in the glance of the brown eyes, "I wished to refuse it.
"Oh, yes some time," she murmured from his breast. "Well, when?" he persisted. "Just any time?" "No, dear, of course not!" A muffled sound that was half-sob and half-laugh came with the words. Dick waited for a space, and then very gently began to feel for the hidden face.
"Why, this is better than the turning-tables," said I, with a half-laugh; and as I laughed, my dog put back his head and howled. F , coming back, had not observed the movement of the chair. He employed himself now in stilling the dog.
Will stood still and uttered a triumphant but inarticulate sound half-laugh, half-sob, half-thanksgiving. Then the man spoke, slow and deep, "He shall go for a soldier!" "Theer! Now I knaw 't is Blanchard back an' no other! Hear me, will 'e; doan't plan no such uneven way of life for un." "By God, he shall!"

And then, in that abominable scamp with his youth already soiled, withered like a plucked flower ready to be flung on some rotting heap of rubbish, no very genuine feeling about anything could exist not even about the hazards of his own unclean existence. A sneering half-laugh with some such remark as: `We are properly sold and no mistake' would have been enough to make trouble in that way.
He straightened himself presently and made a pretence of clearing his throat, as an embarrassed person often does. "I have something to tell you," he began. "I thought I would not disturb you while our relatives were here. We found enough to talk about;" with a short half-laugh. "And it tired you out, I know.
Mollie crept nearer to the fire and gave another little shudder. "It was somebody else," she returned, with a triumphant little half-laugh. "Guess who!" "Who!" repeated Aimée. "Somebody else! It was not any one I know." "It was somebody Phil knows." The wise one arose and came to the fire herself. "It was some one taller than Brown!" "Brown!" echoed Mollie, with an air of supreme contempt.
Emmy broke a piece of toast viciously. "I think they're beasts," she exclaimed. "Good heavens! Why?" "Oh, I don't know. They are." Then, after the quick, frightened glance of the woman who fears she has said too much, she broke into a careless half-laugh. "They are such liars.
