"Well, what about the girl? That's what I've been telling you. Strikes me that's one of your troubles." Half-satisfied, the veteran fell silent. Shortly after he made an opportunity to speak to May-may-gwán. "All is well, Little Sister?" he inquired. "All is well," she replied; "we have finished the parkas, the sledges, the snow-shoes, the blankets, and we have made much food." "And Jibiwánisi?"
Thither, on a night of frosty moonlight, troops of carriages were hurrying with the usual freightage for a country ball: the squire who will not make himself happy by seeing that his duty to the softer side of his family must be performed during the comfortable hours when bachelors snooze in arm-chairs, and his nobler dame who, not caring for Port or tobacco, cheerfully accepts the order of things as bequeathed to her: the everlastingly half-satisfied young man, who looks forward to the hour when his cigar-light will shine; and the damsel thrice demure as a cover for her eagerness.
It was the owner of Nettuno, whose aquatic air and perfect self-possession now caused the officer to doubt whether he had not stopped a waterman of the lake a class privileged to come and go at will. "Thou knowest our usages," said the half-satisfied Genevese. "I were a fool else! Even the ass that often travels the same path comes in time to tell its turns and windings.
King Richard gazed after him as he departed, like one but half-satisfied with what had passed. "Strange pertinacity," he said, "in this Hakim, and a wonderful chance to interfere between that audacious Scot and the chastisement he has merited so richly. Yet let him live! there is one brave man the more in the world. And now for the Austrian. Ho! is the Baron of Gilsland there without?"
"They wished to believe it," said Pony's father, "and so did Jim, I dare say." "He might have got some of them killed, if Bunty Williams had fired his gun at them," said Pony's mother; and he could see that she was not half-satisfied with what his father said. "Perhaps it was a hoe, after all.
Half-satisfied with these thoughts, Horace Jackson was about to proceed homewards, when it seemed to him that a voice, as it were, said within him, "Accept the work; it may not be in vain." Though still reluctant, he now felt that he could no longer hang back; so he crossed the green, and greeted the old hawker kindly.
It's a fact, I have." In spite of the caution Anthony had impressed upon his country relative, that he should not judge by appearances, he was nevertheless under an apprehension that the farmer's opinion of him, and the luxurious, almost voluptuous, enjoyment he had of it, were in peril. When he had purchased the well-probed fat goose, the shrimps, and the cheese, he was only half-satisfied.
The height of the fresco above the floor of the church is so vast that it might well appear like a heavenly scene to the reeling sense of the spectator. Brain, nerve, and muscle were strained to utter exhaustion in a very few minutes, and we came away with our admiration only half-satisfied, and resolved to ascend the cupola next day, and see the fresco on something like equal terms.
The innkeeper, sulky, half-satisfied, yet fearing to offend, welcomed us with what grace he could muster, and we were shown to "The Fox and the Grapes," a large room in the rear of the house. John Paul had not spoken since the slim gentleman had drawn the distinction between us, and I knew that the affront was rankling in his breast.
