I thought there was a momentary expression of pain or displeasure on her countenance; but it passed. Still there seemed to me something of irony, as well as of triumph or congratulation, in the half-smile with which she quitted her seat, and in the tone with which she whispered, as she glided by me to the open sward, "So, then, it is settled." She walked lightly and quickly down the lawn.
The supper passed off very well. Herbert was a trifle gruff and silent; but it was plain that Allison's stories amused him, for now and then a half-smile crept into his stolid countenance. Julia Cloud was so glad that she could have cried. She hated scenes, and she dreaded being at outs with her relatives.
Yet it was neither to soldier, nor squire, nor civil engineer, nor surgeon that the new sense stirring in her was due. The spring was too far beneath to be found by them. When, at last, she raised her head, Lord Eglington was in the path, looking at her with a half-smile. She did not start, but her face turned white, and a mist came before her eyes.
Laurance leaned upon Mr. Palma's arm, and as he bent his uncovered, head, in earnest conversation, his noble brow was placid and his haughty mouth relaxed in a half-smile.

At her throat hung a string of pearls the same pearls and as she paused and our eyes met, I could have sworn that her muscles grew momentarily taut, and her lips twitched in a gasp.

I stood looking after her.

Tell me only that at present you like no one better than me." She smiled a half-smile, but he did not see it. She made no answer.
Suddenly a flash of gleaming metal streaked across the sky and Connel roared. "We've found it, Corbett!" He slapped the cadet on the back. "The Nationalists' base! We've found it!" Tom nodded, a half-smile on his face. "We sure have, Major." He hesitated a moment. "You know, sir, if Roger is really badly hurt we might not make it back to Sinclair's in time, so " He stopped.
Barneveld paused in his writing, took the glasses from his eyes, and looked Sylla in the face. "Well, Sylla," he said very calmly, "will you in these my last moments lay down the law to me as to what I shall write to my wife?" He then added with a half-smile, "Well, what is expected of me?" "We have no commission whatever to lay down the law," said van Leeuwen.
