Thank you so much. I really am going now." Staring round with a vague half-smile at everybody within nodding distance, Her Serene Highness made one of her characteristic exits, which Lady Caroline declared always reminded her of a scrambled egg slipping off a piece of toast. At the entrance she stopped for a moment to exchange a word or two with a young man who had just arrived.
Jordan behaved as though he had returned from business in the usual way. 'Is it raining? she asked, with a half-smile. And her husband replied, in as matter-of-fact a tone as he could command, 'No, it isn't. There was no mention between them of his absence. That night, Mrs.
She remembered with what curiosity and admiration she had looked at the figure of her host. There he had stood, a commanding, powerful, slightly stooping figure, welcoming his guests. For a moment she had looked up into his bearded face, and met his heavy-lidded eyes resting on her bright young face, with a half-smile of indulgent amusement at her look of radiant interest and happiness.
"Was there more than one who threw you overboard?" "I am unable to say. I did not even see one," said Phil with a half-smile. "I felt myself being lifted that's all. The next minute I was in the river, with the 'Marie' pounding away downstream at a lively clip." "Dastardly! Dastardly!" growled the showman. "I shall send for a detective to meet us in Memphis tomorrow.
Theos listened, scarcely hearing. He was studying every line in Sah-luma's face and figure with fixed and wistful attention. Almost unconsciously he pressed the arm he held, and Sah-luma looked up at him with a half-smile.
"And are there any special instructions before we start?" he asked. "I can give you some special instructions," Lounsbury interrupted. "I didn't come up here to risk my life on a wild mustang in the mountains. I want you to pick easy trails you can if you've just got energy enough to try." A half-smile lingered a moment at the woodsman's lips. There was no choice of trails into Clearwater.
At last my Lady Chesterfield said to him, penitently, "This is a poor compliment to you, Mr. Dodd"; and then Niobized again, partly, I believe, with regret that she was behaving so discourteously. "It is very natural," said David, kindly, "but we shall soon see them all again, you know." Presently she looked in his radiant face, with wet eyes, but a half-smile.
Poor Adam was led on to speak about Arthur because he thought Hetty would be pleased to know that the young squire was so ready to befriend him; the fact entered into his future prospects, which he would like to seem promising in her eyes. And it was true that Hetty listened with an interest which brought a new light into her eyes and a half-smile upon her lips. "How pretty the roses are now!"
Nothing special had happened. Harold hadn't come back from lunch until close on four. Where had he been? What had he been up to? He wasn't going to let his father know. Old Mr. Neave had happened to be in the vestibule, saying good-bye to a caller, when Harold sauntered in, perfectly turned out as usual, cool, suave, smiling that peculiar little half-smile that women found so fascinating.
"Now sixteen and nine?" "Twenty-five," rather hesitatingly. He nodded. "And nine more." "Thirty-four. Oh, we made a rhyme. Uncle Winthrop, is it very hard to write verses? They are so beautiful." "I think it is rather," with his half-smile. People had not had the leisure to be very poetical as yet.
