She did not once consider any danger to Lucina from Jerome; but she had seen, on the day before, the young man's eyes linger upon the girl's lovely face, and had immediately, with the craft of a female, however gentle, for such matters, reached half-pleasant, half-melancholy conclusions.
The dwarf looked out of the window, and that same half-pleasant, half-sardonic smile remained upon her face. It was as if she regarded all nature with amused acquiescence and sarcasm, at its inability to harm her, although it had made the endeavor. Maria glanced at her very rich black attire, and a great pearl cross which gleamed at her throat, and she wondered a little about her.
Then one by one they all departed; but as David was going too Rossiter detained him by a kindly pressure on the arm a contact which sent a half-pleasant, half-disagreeable thrill through his nerves. "Don't hurry away unless you really are pressed for time. I want to show you some of my specimens and the place where I work." David followed him after taking his leave of Mrs.

Miss Blake, the Gym. mistress, was a graceful girl with an air of delicacy which did not seem in accord with her profession. Miss Rose, the Art mistress, was plain with a squat, awkward figure.

Now, however, the thunder-clap had come, and after the first alarm, finding they were not killed, they began to discover a certain half-anxious, half-pleasant excitement in talking it over, encouraging one another, and feeling unusually friendly, as people do when a sudden shower drives two or three to the shelter of one umbrella. It was a sober talk, but not all sad, for Mr.

'E used to ride me on the big cart-horses. 'E was a fine set-up chap." To hear the name of Arden on Beale's lips gave Dickie a very odd, half-pleasant, half-frightened feeling.
