Useless for Rachel in her heart to call him a glutton his attitude towards her supper was impeccable. And now the solid part of the supper was over. Batchgrew, extended half-reclining on the Chesterfield. And Mrs. Tams entered with coffee. "You'll have coffee, Mr. Batchgrew?" said the hostess. "Nay, missis! I canna' sleep after it."
From that time he grew steadily better, and in another day or two he was able to leave his cot and to indulge in a bath, a clean shave, and an hour or so on deck, half-sitting, half-reclining in a hammock which the skipper had ordered to be slung for him from the spanker-boom.
At the first footstep we had swiftly moved apart. I had been half-reclining, my head in her lap, strangely soothed and happy as she ran her fingers through my hair. For a long time neither of us had said a word. Now I sat apart from her, awkward and wooden. Spalton did not speak, inclined his head icily, as he strode by. "He's mad because I didn't come to his talk," she whispered.
Not far from him, in a half-reclining posture, was a general of the Afghans, also of the bodyguard of the Emperor. A hakeem, or physician, and an astrologer, both in the Moslem style of dress, were seated close together, legs crossed beneath them; while a little apart were two Hindus, as the caste marks on their foreheads showed, a tax-collector from the country and a kotwal, or city magistrate.
He had thrown himself upon a sofa, and sat, half-reclining, with his head upon his bosom. "Are you sick, dear Theodore?" his young wife asked, in a tone of deep and earnest affection, laying her hand upon him, and bending down and kissing his forehead. "Yes, I am sick, Constance," was the half-stupid reply "Come, then, let me assist you up to bed.
"Sitting in the sun on the stone-bench in the court, beside the window of the flagged parlour." Eddie Ochiltree Visits Miss Wardour "Bid him stay there I'll come down to the parlour, and speak with him at the window." She came down accordingly, and found the mendicant half-seated, half-reclining, upon the bench beside the window.
One seemed sound asleep, with his face turned to the ground, and looking like a warrior that had fallen from some balloon, and, striking on his stomach, lay just as he was flattened out. Another was half-sitting and half-reclining, smoking a pipe with a very long stem.
The shepherdess has a robe of fairest crimson, and her flower-crowned locks in tint more nearly approach to the blond cendré which distinguishes so many of Palma's donne than to the ruddier gold that Titian himself generally affects. The more passionate of the two, she gazes straight into the eyes of her strong-limbed rustic lover, who half-reclining rests his hand upon her shoulder.
Also Arthur would have noticed that, as they came round from the stables to the steps at the end of the front veranda, and as Dory caught sight of Adelaide, half-reclining in the hammock and playing with Simeon, his eyes looked as if he had been suddenly brought from the darkness into the light. "Here's Dory Hargrave, Del," cried Arthur, and went on into the house, leaving them facing each other.
Evidently it was hard to find the professor, or perhaps he was holding her, against her will, for a discussion of the book. At any rate, I could do nothing but sit there, in that easy, half-reclining position, and watch the full moon, which had just risen, and was shining square in my face, if that could be said of an object that looked so round. I fell into a deep reverie.
