There was a gray horse among them young Jasper's and an evil shadow came into Rome's face, and quickly passed. Near a strip of woods the gray turned up the mountain from the party, and on its back he saw the red glint of a woman's dress. With a half-smile he watched the scarlet figure ride from the woods, and climb slowly up through the sunny corn.
I have received an annoying letter, and was thinking about it." Bobby was full of concern. "Is there anything I can do?" he asked. She looked at him with a half-smile. "Who knows? Perhaps!" "Do tell me. You know I long to be of use to you, and there is so little that I can do." "But who could do more? No lonely woman could ask for a more devoted cavalier."
My desire to avoid the lady, to remain unrecognised by her, is as strong as is yours to hold aloof from her escort. It's an odd position, he added, with a slow half-smile. 'I trust the contents of Miss of the bag were not of too great value not indispensable to her? 'By no means quite the contrary; and this being the case, we will trouble ourselves no more about it.
Your lips have a trick of falling apart in a half-smile when you listen. They told me before I knew you that you were pretty. Pretty! The word is cheap and tawdry.

At his heels went Hawkins, and Swan sent an oblique glance of satisfaction toward Lone, who answered it with his half-smile. Swan himself could not have planned the approach more to his liking.

When the wind dropped and a splendid, still dawn swept up into the clean sky, he was at peace with his own mind and climbed up the mountain trail with a half-smile on his face. In the dawn, awake on her pillows, Joan was listening for him, and at the sound of his webs she sat up, pale to her lips. She did not know what she feared, but she was filled with dread.
"You tell me that her heart is engaged in this, as well as yours?" resumed Sir Henry. A half-smile flitted for a moment over Lionel's face; he was recalling Lucy's whispered words to him that very afternoon. "Yes," he answered, "her heart is bound up in me: I may almost say her life. If ever love served out its apprenticeship, Sir Henry, ours has. It is stronger than time and change."
"It isn't really pleasant to be broken, is it, although we try to pretend we don't care, don't we?" "No, it isn't exactly pleasant," replied Mr. Waldron, and a half-smile flickered over his face. "How did you get broken?" "Somebody let me fall, father says, and afterwards I was only half-mended. It is horrid to be only a half-mended thing but some people are so stupid, you know." Mr.

"You also thought that she might be a dangerous rival in my favor, and might deprive you and Alonzo of an expected share in my estate." "Oh, Uncle Oliver! how can you think so poorly of me?" Mr. Carter eyed his niece with a half-smile. "So I do you injustice, do I, Lavinia?" he returned.
She sat at her ease, casting careless glances this way and that. When her eyes fell upon him he winced, yet she paid no more heed to him than to the other passengers.
