I brought a second billy of water, but he turned from it with disgust. "If you could make a sort of an effort, Alf," I suggested. He treated me to a half-angry, half-reproachful look, and turned away his face. I rose to my feet, and rolled back the tarpaulin half-way along the jigger, for the heat was still suffocating. "Is there anything more I can do for you just now, Alf?" I asked presently.
He did not repulse her; he even looked down upon her with a melting, half-reproachful tendernes. "How happy we might have been! How different had been this coming home if you had only trusted me, and told me all from the beginning." "Have you told me? Is there nothing you have kept back from me these five years?" He started a little, and then said resolutely, "Nothing, Sybilla!
"And you want to leave me!" said Charlotte, in accents half-wondering, half-reproachful.

"Diana, WHAT are you going to tell me?"

"Excuse my little subterfuge," said the countess, in reply to her companion's half-reproachful observation on the subject; "but that horrid man had made me feel quite uncomfortable, and I longed to be alone, that I might compose my startled mind." Franz essayed to smile.
Hovering before his fancy, came sweet eyes, full of bewildering light, half-reproachful, half-sad, and all-bewitching; a form of such exquisite grace that he wondered not it swam and undulated before him; over all, the rose-hue of youth, and the smooth, sweet charm of lip and hand that memory brought him, in that last timid caress under the pear-tree after sunset.
