May himself, coming or going, closed them momentarily, and it cannot be denied that there were outward and visible signs of a large, somewhat unruly family inside. "Oh, Reginald!" cried Ursula. "You have come home!" "Yes for good," he said with a half-laugh, half-sigh. "Or for bad who can tell? At all events, here I am."

"There is a pleasure in this," said the stranger, unconsciously, and with a half-sigh; "I wish I had a home!" "And have you not a home?" said Lucy, with naivety. "As much as a bachelor can have, perhaps," answered Clifford, recovering without an effort his gayety and self-possession.

Trenchard's face lightened in a rare smile as, with a half-sigh, he said: "I believe you are right, and that I need a collaborator, an opposite, who is yet in sympathy with me. Yes; either of us might fail alone; together we should succeed." "Will succeed, my boy!"

I resign that fancy," said the minstrel, with another half-sigh. "It was not indeed wholly, but in great part the hope of the poet's fame that made me a truant in the way to that which destiny, and such few gifts as Nature conceded to me, marked out for my proper and only goal. But what a strange, delusive Will-o'-the-Wisp the love of verse-making is!

"Maybe he does not," said she, with a half-sigh. Then she looked up into his face again. "I am sad at the thought of going, monsieur," she surprised him by saying. "Sad?" he cried. Then he laughed. "But what can there be to sadden you?" "This, monsieur: that after to-night it is odds I shall never see you more."

Forrester will have to be at home." And then, as if scared by some possible admission in her words, she added, "It makes it so much more lively...." Downstairs a little silence had followed the girls' departure, which Peter Digby broke with a half-sigh. "Wish I was married," he said laconically. "I've been looking for a girl like your wife for the last ten years, Nick!" Forrester laughed.

There was a half-sigh floating through his pages for those days of intellectual coxcombry, when ideas come to us affecting the embraces of virgins, and swear to us they are ours alone, and no one else have they ever visited: and we believe them. For an example of his ideas of the sex he said: "I expect that Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man."

As for himself he was a rather stiff Church of England man, if he could be called stiff about anything. "And did you like the convent?" he asked, after a pause, in which he generously made up his mind he would not interfere with her religious belief. "It's so long ago" with a half-sigh. "I was very sad at first, and missed mamma. Papa had to go away somewhere and couldn't take me.

"I fear you are right," said Amy, with a half-sigh; "and yet it was lovely to feel just like Johnnie once more;" and she stole a shy glance at Webb, who must have heard some of her exclamations. The expression of his face seemed to reassure her, and without further misgiving she joined in a laugh at one of Burt's sallies. Amy's thoughts naturally reverted before very long to Mrs.

Then with a leap of her breath, half-sigh, half-exultation, the knowledge of what had happened to her crystallised into clear significance. In one swift, overwhelming moment of illumination she realised that the frail blossom of love which had been tentatively budding in the garden of her heart was dead withered, starved out of existence ere it had quite believed in its own reality.
