"That is false," he was beginning, very indignantly. "I do not desire you to take my word for it. If you will follow me, you will no longer be the dupe of a false prude, who makes you act so ridiculous a part." She took him, still half-resisting, by the hand, and in silence led him, despite his reluctance, back by the way he had so lately come.
Then came the dancing, the one dance after another; the pressure of the hand, the entreaty that she would not, just on this occasion, dance with any other man, the attendance on her when she took her glass of wine, the whispered encouragement of Mrs. Montacute Jones, the half-resisting and yet half-yielding conduct of the girl.
"I don't think I can go, Nancy. Mother's out, and I've a lot of sewing to do." "Bother the sewing! Your mother wouldn't mind, I'm sure. Mine lets me do exactly as I like. Come and get ready;" and she pulled Bessie from her seat, and drew her, half-resisting, towards the house.
You better come too." She shook her head. "Yes," He put an arm under her shoulder. "Come." "No, no. I mustn't." "But you must." Jan put his other arm under her and lifted her to her feet; but yet she lay heavy, half-resisting. "Come," said Jan. "I'll take you out of here to my mother." "Your mother?" she repeated, and straightened up; but almost instantly fell back.
And he drew her, half-resisting, once more towards him, and began again to caress her hair, saying as he did so, very slowly: Aranyání, thou art in very truth, for thy timidity and thy eyes, own sister to the deer: and yet, somehow, I would not have it otherwise, for thy timidity is not less beautiful than those great eyes which it fills with apprehension and distrust: and wert thou brave, thy soft body would not quiver, to fill me with emotion, nor should I now be tasting, as I kiss thee, the salt beauty of those pearls, thy tears.
He felt with suppressed rage that if they drove him to it, he would sooner die than leave the garden now. The music ceased. A number of people, hot and breathless, streamed out during a pause in the dancing. There came Veyergang and Silla, bashful and half-resisting, with him. They took the way up to the restaurant.
What further exasperation his smiling superior intended to heap upon him nobody could tell; for just as Jack Wentworth was about to speak, and just as Wodehouse had again faced towards him, half-cowed, half-resisting, Gerald, who had been looking on in silence, came forward out of the shadow.
"No hurry plenty of time. You are agitated. Allow me to feel your pulse." "You are funny to-night, Quincy." "Not funny just happy." Quincy took forcible possession of her half-resisting hand and slipped a diamond solitaire on the proper finger. "Why, what are you doing? Isn't it a beauty? Is this the great Sawyer diamond? Whose is it?" "It's yours. It is an engagement ring.
Death will not have you." They did not know that it was because the Emperor had forfeited his right to die as a French soldier. They led him half-resisting from the field; and, unknown in his own army, he rode away into the darkness of the night, having lost everything. "So ended the battle of Waterloo," said the captain, as he seated himself on the bench and arranged his neck-cloth.
And before he could answer, she had thrown her arms about his neck and kissed him two or three times. Laughingly, half-resisting, the young man waited till her enthusiastic salutation was over, and with one gloved hand caressingly on her shoulder, and with the other smoothing his ruffled moustache, he laughed a little more, a quiet low laugh.
