And with the proudest blood of France in her veins, living obscure and unknown a stranger in a strange land since childhood; but, with God's grace and your help, I hope to see her restored to all she has lost, before long." "You know me, then?" said his companion, half-smiling. "Yes, your majesty," answered Sir Norman, bowing low before the king.
With a half-questioning, half-smiling look of grateful wonder, the boy withdrew his hands from their uplifted, supplicating and almost protesting attitude against the locked Cathedral-door, and moving out of the porch shadows into the wide glory of the moonlight, he confronted his interlocutor
"Not in this world, dear," he answered, with sublime confidence, "nor any other!" She stole away from him. He was left alone upon the terrace, alone, but with the exquisite conviction of her return, promised in that last half-tremulous, half-smiling look over her shoulder. Then suddenly life seemed to come to him with a rush, a new life, filled with a new splendour.
If he were silent when his father expected some response, still he did not look moody; if he declined some labour why, he flung himself down with such a charming, half-smiling, half-pleading air, that the pleasure of looking at him made amends to one who had watched his growth with a sense of claim and possession: the curves of Tito's mouth had ineffable good-humour in them.
That the daughter of the Ry of Rys should kiss him was a thing of which he would dream when deeds were done and over and the shadows threatened. "I will kiss you again in another fifteen years," she said half-smiling through her tears. "But tell me tell me what has happened."

"I must go now. Come into the concert, I'm going to sing." She glanced at him in a sad, half-smiling way. "I can't sing If I Were a Voice for you, but perhaps you'll like my aria better."
My friend, my old comrade Crevel, has eighty thousand francs a year; and you, I suppose, did not show such a good hand, for if you had, you, I imagine, would have been preferred." Montes listened with a half-absent, half-smiling expression, which struck them all with terror.
But I recall the half-smiling prophecy of my naval host, in the middle of March, as we stood together on the deck of his ship, looking over his curtseying and newly-hatched flock of destroyers gathered round him in harbour. Was it not, perhaps, as near the mark as that of our airmen hosts on March 1st has proved itself to be? "Have patience and you'll see great things!

A silence fell between them. Justine rose slowly, her eyes screened under the veil she had lowered. "No I don't mean to marry," she said, half-smiling, as she came down from the platform.
She did not now turn to her husband with that pretty look, half-smiling, half-wistful, to know how she had got through her domestic duties.
