"Nemo everybody," I translated, "sapit has been in love omnibus once horis at least." "Oh, and you mean she wouldn't have you?" asked Nellie, with blunt directness. "Not quite that," said I. "They " "THEY?" murmured Dolly, with half-lifted lids. "THEY," I pursued, "regretfully recognized my impossibility. Hence I am not carrying pots across a broad terrace under a hot sun."
In a community of pretty women more or less given to the license and extravagance of the epoch, she always looked like a lady. He took her in his arms and half-lifted her up the last step of the veranda.
The bundle on the cellar floor of the Frochards den stirred again, this time more actively. The crippled knife-grinder Pierre had entered. His mother was again busied with her potations. Under the half-lifted rags showed the tear-stained face of Louise. The heavy fatigue of street mendicancy had wrapped her in deep sleep, from which she woke with a start to her wretched surroundings.
Adeline chose her dress carefully, but the pious and blameless woman is decent to the end, in spite of her little coquettish graces. Of what use were brand-new gray silk stockings and high heeled satin shoes when she was absolutely ignorant of the art of displaying a pretty foot at a critical moment, by obtruding it an inch or two beyond a half-lifted skirt, opening horizons to desire?
And he turned round in the sight of them all, the bride half turning too with the voluntary impulse, and saw behind the sea of anxious wondering faces another, which seemed to float in a mist of horror, from under the half-lifted cloud of a gray veil.

In everything she was the same Little Lady of the Big House. Even when it chanced that her eyes met his, they were serene, untroubled, with no hint of any secret in them.
I'll be umpiring this," volunteered Freckles. With a ravishing swagger, half-lifted wings, and deep, guttural hissing, the lover approached again. He suddenly lifted his body, but she coolly rocked forward on the limb, glided gracefully beneath him, and slowly sailed into the Limberlost. He recovered himself and gazed after her in astonishment.
"Nonsense your tellin'," 'Bert interrupted. "Father's put on his uniform. How can you make it that things ben't differ'nt, after that?" "An' he's here!" 'Biades nodded, over his half-lifted spoon, at Nicky-Nan. "Oh!" said 'Bert, "that isn' because of the War. That's to say Good-bye, because he's turnin' out this week."
A faint sobbing breath of relief fluttered the pale lips that moved in the merest ghost of a smile. The heavy eyelids half-lifted and the child nestled against its mother's breast. The girl swayed, shaking with sobs, "Baby baby!" She struggled for self-control and stood up straight and pale. "Dan, I ought to tell you.
Then came the rubbing with snow, carried on with an intensity of cruel fierceness, till she squirmed and shrank and moved her toes, and joyously complained of the hurt. He half-dragged her, and she half-lifted herself, nearer to the fire. He placed her feet on the blanket close to the flesh-saving flames. "You'll have to take care of them for a while," he said.
