"I shall sit here." With a parting look at her extended in a chair a look half-resentful, half-adoring Soames moved into the lift and was transported to their suite on the fourth floor. He stood by the window of the sitting-room which gave view over Hyde Park, and drummed a finger on its pane. His feelings were confused, tetchy, troubled.
He shot a look half-fearful, half-resentful at the police officer. "And how is your friend Doctor van Heerden?" Mr. White twisted uncomfortably in his chair. Again his look of nervousness and apprehension. "Mr. ah van Heerden is not a friend of mine," he said, "a business acquaintance," he sighed heavily, "just a business acquaintance." The White he had known was not the White of to-day.
He always slouched, locomotively, with his eyes on the ground; and, when accosted or otherwise required to raise them, he looked up in a half-resentful, half-puzzled way, as though the only thought he ever had was, that it was rather an odd and injurious fact that he should never be thinking. This morose journeyman had no liking for me.
Queer fellows drift in and out of this room. Waifs and strays from home, from up-country, from the Pacific. And, by the way, last time you were here you picked up one of that sort for your assistant didn't you?"

The six blind men, half-resentful, half-believing, turned away, mainly because Ismail drove them with words and blows. And as they went a tall Afridi came striding down the camp with a letter for the mullah held out in a cleft stick in front of him. "Her answer!" said Ismail with a wicked grin. "What is her word? Where is the Orakzai Pathan?" But Ismail laughed and would not answer him.
But here he was appareled and appointed like a gentleman, and even seemed to be superior to the garish glitter of his new surroundings. "I believe I have the pleasure of speaking to Miss Saltonstall," he said, with the faintest suggestion of his former manner in his half-resentful sidelong glance.

"You look tired to death, Ellen Brewster," Abby said, in a half-resentful, half-compassionate tone. "You can never stand this in the world." "I am no more tired than any one would be the first day," Ellen returned, stoutly, "and I'm going to stand it." "You act to me as if you liked it," said Abby, with an angry switch like a cat. "I do," Ellen returned, almost as angrily. Then she turned to Abby.
"I can see you are the colour of beetroot even at this distance. Curious, very! But I'm glad you are so becomingly modest. It's the first indication of the virtue that I have ever detected in you."
