The man wisely took no part in the struggle, but stood looking on, encouraging them with half-rueful, half-laughing remarks. At length Leslie had an inspiration. While Rags was standing at the edge of the water, panting from a long and furious run, the fish reposing at his feet, she seized a small board lying near, called to him beguilingly and hurled the board out into the sea.
She went with Daisy to the gate, and, with her arms round her neck, besought her, half-laughing, not to be misled by appearances. "I was myself," she confessed. "I actually hated him once. But now but now " "But now it's all right," smiled Daisy. "Run back to him, dear child! I should imagine he is the sort of young man who doesn't like to be kept waiting."
No, Peggy, rather promiscuous as to ladder, hammer, hat-bands and general paraphernalia, was lying flat upon her back, her arms around Tzaritza, half-sobbing, half-laughing her joy into the beautiful creature's silky neck, while Tzaritza whimpered and whined for joy and licked and dabbed her mistress with a moist tongue. "It is a wolf!
The pretty Tuskegee chambermaid was holding out a tray with a card on it. "The doctor, ma'am," she said. "The doctor!" echoed Allan, half-vexed, half-laughing. "I knew you had something up your sleeve, Phyllis! What on earth did you have him for?" Phyllis's face was a study of astonishment. "On my honor, I hadn't a notion he was even in existence," she protested. "He's not my doctor!"
"I declare," said he, half-laughing, "you're as 'cute as a razor; I didn't say there was anything going to happen, did I?" "But is there?" said Ellen. "Han't your aunt said nothing to you about it?" "Why, no," said Ellen "she never tells me anything; what is it?" "Why, the story is," said Mr.
Presently she found a chance for a whisper to Morewood. "How are you painting him?" she asked. "You must come and see," he replied, with a rather sour grin. "So I will, but tell me now. You know the difference, I mean?" "Oh, and do you already? Well, I shall do him making himself agreeable to a lady." "For heaven's sake don't!" she whispered, half-laughing yet not without seriousness.
Eileen aroon! Dear were her charms to me, Dearer her laughter free, Dearest her constancy, Eileen aroon!" "She'll be married to a sugar-planter before you've cut your wisdom teeth!" bawled the engineer from his bedroom. "Will she?" retorted Dennis, and half-laughing, half-sentimentally, he sang on louder than before, "Were she no longer true, Eileen aroon! What should her lover do? Eileen aroon!
There was such a masterful air about him, that when he jovially threw an arm round her gaunt waist, and gathered her up against his moist shoulder, she surprised herself by a half-laughing submission. Her vocabulary was not rich in phrases for this kind of emergency. "Do mind what you're about!" she told him, flushing not unpleasurably. "Shut up the place!" he answered, with lordly geniality.
And then Bunny, half-laughing, half-apologetic, turned to his brother-in-law. "I can't help being decent to Charlie, Jake. I don't care a damn what they say." Jake gave him a straight look from under his rough red brows. "I'm not blaming you," he said. Someone was singing a baby lullaby very softly in the beautiful room with the bay window that looked straight over the rolling down.
Some of them gave her odd, half-laughing glances now and then, being more or less amazed at the unusual vigour with which she sang, in her pure childish soprano, the few strophes of recitative and light song attached to her part; the very prima-donna herself caught fire, and the distinguished tenor, who had travelled all the way from Buda Pesth in haste, so that he might 'create' the chief role in the work of his friend Valdor, began to feel that there was something more in operatic singing than the mere inflation of the chest, and the careful production of perfectly-rounded notes.
