Lucy, half-laughing, but in dreadful concern, begged the noble lord to excuse the woful mistake. "Extremely flattered, highly favoured, I'm sure;" said his lordship, re- arranging his disconcerted moustache; "may I beg the pleasure of an introduction?" "My husband's dear old nurse Mrs. Berry," said Lucy, taking her hand to lend her countenance. "Lord Mountfalcon, Mrs. Berry." Mrs.
He had her, suddenly and very closely, against his heart. He covered her face with his kisses, so that she gasped and gasped for breath, half-laughing, half-dismayed. "Dick, how how disgraceful of you! Dick, you mustn't! Someone someone will see us!" "Let them!" he said, grimly reckless. "You brought it on yourself. How dare you tell me I'm like a high priest? How dare you, Juliet?"
Long before six o'clock, however, the suspicion in Aunt Polly's eyes became conviction, and drove to ignominious defeat the puzzled questioning. But, curiously enough then, a new look came to take its place, a look that was actually a twinkle of amusement. At last, after a particularly doleful complaint on Pollyanna's part, Aunt Polly threw up her hands with a gesture of half-laughing despair.
She clung to him, happy in the warmth of feeling that, responsive, as always, to his touch, sprang up in her; and when in his good-natured, half-laughing, dictatorial way he made her lie down at once and promise to rest and be quiet, the boyish absurdity of his solicitude was sweet to her.

And so I learned for the first time, my dears, that my good comrade had been struck by the little god's arrows.
Give me only the same chance you gave the other poor fellow who sleeps yonder the same chance you gave the luckier man who carried the wreath for you to put upon his grave."

"I say, Picton, they'll say we were taken by surprise in England; won't they?" said a sharp, strong voice, in a half-laughing tone from behind. "No, your Grace," said Sir Thomas, bowing slightly; "they'll scarcely do so when they hear the time we took to get under arms."
Beseechingly almost she laid her hand upon his arm with the words. The touch fired him. He considered that he had been patient long enough. Abruptly he caught her to him. "Come, I say," he said, half-laughing, half in savage earnest, "I can't have you crying on what's almost our wedding trip!" He certainly did not expect the absolutely furious resistance with which she met his action.
"It's a mad world; and the maddest creature in it is the man who stakes his happiness on the state of a woman's heart." Honor slipped her hand from his arm. "Really, Captain Lenox," she protested, half-laughing, half in earnest, "that remark almost amounts to an insult! What do you suppose Theo would say if he heard you?" "Wouldn't stop to pick his language," Lenox answered with a twisted smile.
She shook her head but stammered out: "It's nothing, but I'm sort of frightened.... I can't tell you about what. And I thought you might be able to help me and put it all right, but you can't." "How do you know I can't? You haven't tried me." "Yes, I have," she said, half-laughing now through her tears that were already dry upon her cheeks.
