In the left-hand stage-box were gathered a little group of his own, old circle, about the empty chair which had been reserved, in case faintly possible the erratic one should suddenly appear. Kashkine, Laroche, Ostrovsky, and Ivan's passionate young admirer Rimsky-Korsakow, sat there in silence, all of them thinking the same half-bitter, half-resentful thoughts.
The boss wants to hear where you found those cattle of his re-branded with my own brand." McLagan sat up with a jerk. "Eh?" His face was a study. But chiefly it expressed a belief that he was being laughed at. Jim looked squarely into his half-resentful eyes and nodded. "Those cattle they've just brought in are branded with my brand. You know the brand. You helped me design it.
"Well," Annie agreed indifferently. "Ring that bell, Norma I've got to get up! Where are you girls going now?" "Some of the girls are coming to my house for tea," Leslie answered, listlessly. "I've got the car here. Come on, Norma!" "But you're not driving, Kiddie?" her aunt asked, quickly. Leslie, who neither looked nor felt well, raised half-resentful eyes.
The daily protection and care of this girl, her welcome, winsome gayeties and thanks, were his, his! with no one near to claim a division of shares and only honor to keep account with. His words were stumbling over these unconfessed distractions when she startled him by saying, "I've telegraphed Jeff-Jack that I can travel." His response was half-resentful. "Did the doctor say you might?"
Colin took off his cap and the sun shone on and warmed his thick hair as he watched Dickon intently. Ben Weatherstaff scrambled up from his knees and bared his head too with a sort of puzzled half-resentful look on his old face as if he didn't know exactly why he was doing this remarkable thing.
It was the first time she had ever appealed to her childish recollections of him in any other than a provocative or half-resentful tone. He could remember a good many tussles with her in her frail mother's interest, when she was a long-legged, insubordinate child of twelve.
This was all that came to him a menace, a shock, a danger to his work. I suppose it is this sad, half-resentful, half-resigned feeling, piercing through the few words Jim said now and then, that puzzled Brown so much in the reading of his character.
Parpon shot out a quick, half-resentful look at him, but meeting a warm, friendly eye, he took the pitcher and went round among the elders, while the stranger himself courteously drank with the young men of the village, who, like many wiser folk, thus yielded to the charm of mystery.
As such a one passed, you might see a glare, half-envious, half-resentful, light up some hollow eyes, and thin parched lips worked nervously, as though they were uttering a very equivocal blessing. Does the character gain much by the extermination of more impulsive passions, when their place is possessed by the two devils that neither age nor sickness can exorcise Avarice and Envy?
There was actual agony in his sweet, shallow eyes, and with it the half-resentful astonishment of one who, being unaccustomed to suffering, does not know how to bear it. He grew very silent; he was very pale; in his pain he turned to his sister with an openness of emotion which frightened and shamed her; he had no self-control and no dignity. "I must see her. I must, I must!
