He began to lose hope of ever overtaking her, when all at once, by way of encouragement, she turned to a fence in which there was a stile and leaped over it. Outside the scene was a changed one a meadow, where the half-made hay lay about in heaps, in the uninterrupted shine of the now high moon.
But my mother took her by the hand, and catching up the half-made dress and bonnet in her other, walked away upstairs to her room, singing: "There was an old man who lived under a hill, And if he's not dead, he lives there still." "So much for motherly love! Dang it, what's her heart made of?" said a voice. I turned round; it was old Ben, who had been an unobserved spectator of the scene.
A gown of black satin, however, trimmed with silver, she had put in at the last moment. It was very becoming Richard had never seen her in it she hoped he might come to her, before the evening was over. She half-made up her mind to speak to Mr. Phelps about it to ask him to telephone to the hotels and attempt to locate Richard for her.
She therefore determined to dismiss the whole subject from her thoughts, and advised Francis to do the same. Mr. Dempster, however, was not willing to relinquish his half-made proselyte; and certainly, the less Jane was inclined to believe in these manifestations the more she became attached to the simple-minded pious visionary who rested so completely in them.
And she realised this fact stronger than ever when she found herself opposite her working-frame, which was resting at the side of the table under the lamplight. Her heart softened as she saw the half-made rose, which she would never finish were she to go away in this secret, criminal manner.
Let us hasten to be practical; let us not so long forget the promised title-pages; let it at length satisfy to show, more than theoretically, how authorship stirs up the mind to daily-teeming projects, and then casts out its half-made progeny; how scraps of paper come to be covered with the cabala of half-written thoughts, thenceforward doomed to suffer the dispersion-fate of Sibylline leaves; how stores of mingled information gravitate into something of order, each seed herding with its fellows; and how every atom of mixed metal, educationally held in solution by the mind, is sought out by a keen precipitating test, gregariously building up in time its own true crystal.
"I'd marry her myself," said a wag; "in fact, the marriage is half-made, for here's one consenting party; but the other side won't. Pooh! the oven is heating for Monsieur du Bousquier." "Monsieur du Bousquier! Why, she has refused him." That evening at all the gatherings it was told gravely: "Mademoiselle Cormon has gone." Or: "So you have really let Mademoiselle Cormon go."
When wise Saint Hugh of Lincoln Was a bishop wi' crosier tall, A wild swan flew from the marshes Over the cloister wall, Crooked its neck to be fondled Giles, that was vain of his wit, Said, "Here is a half-made Bishop!" But the Saint never smiled a bit! "My swan will fight for his lord," quo' he, "And remember what he has heard.
He pushed the thought away from him and soon was listening to Killigrew's tales of Paris, some of which were so obviously meant to startle him that he kept to himself the fact that they succeeded. Awkwardness died between them, and when he turned in up the new drive still only half-made, but the whole scheme of it clear Ishmael could glow at the other's admiration of his home.
A half-made pot of coffee, some pork burned crisp, and some hard bread comprised our supper. Then Yank and I took a handful of the dried sand in the other two pans, and commenced cautiously to blow it away. Johnny hovered over us full of suggestions, and premonitions of calamity. "Don't blow too, hard, fellows," he besought us; "you'll blow away the gold! For heaven's sake, go easy!"
