That young lady rushed in upon him like a miniature cyclone, sweeping him off his feet by the fury of her denunciation, allowing him no opportunity to speak, until, with a half-sob, she demanded: "Why why did you deceive me?" "I love you!" Wally said, as if no further explanation were necessary. "That explains nothing. You made sport of me! You couldn't love me and do that!" "Helen!"
Will stood still and uttered a triumphant but inarticulate sound half-laugh, half-sob, half-thanksgiving. Then the man spoke, slow and deep, "He shall go for a soldier!" "Theer! Now I knaw 't is Blanchard back an' no other! Hear me, will 'e; doan't plan no such uneven way of life for un." "By God, he shall!" The words came back over Will Blanchard's shoulder, for he was fast vanishing.
But the walls themselves, where the light from without revealed them, held Bill's fascinated gaze. The girl stood behind him, silent, wondering what was in his mind. "This cave I've never seen a cave just like this. Virginia " The man stepped forward and scratched a match on the stone. It flared; the shadows raced away. Then Bill's breath caught in a half-sob. Instantly he smothered the match.
"You see he hasn't anything to say," Harold gloated. "I asked you a question, Joe about Virginia. Didn't I tell the truth?" The girl flinched, then caught herself with a half-sob. She resolved to make one more appeal. "Oh Harold please please be careful what you say," she pleaded. "You're drunk now but don't forget you were a gentleman once. Don't drink any more.
I didn't escape it, for Madge was saying "Can you conceive of a man pretending to care for a girl and yet treating her so? I can't tell you the grief, the mortification, I have endured." She spoke with a half-sob in her throat, as if she was struggling not to cry, which made me wish I had never been born.
He stopped her short, however, collectedly enough. "What is the matter, Theodora?" he demanded. She slipped down upon a footstool, all in a flutter, when she saw him, she was so shaken; and then, in her sudden abasement and breathless tremor, gave vent to a piteous little half-sob, though she was terribly ashamed of it. "I I don't know," she answered him. "It's it's nothing at all."
Her eyelids were hot, and she felt a headache begin to throb faintly in promise of greater effort later in the day. She was restless and wretched, looking at the door which probably hid Gaga. Even the memory of last night's kisses was stale and unsatisfactory. As she drew her breath in a half-sob, Sally longed suddenly for Toby.
They came, riding side by side and jesting with careless camaraderie. Toby's face was delicately flushed. The fair head had no covering. She was dressed and looked exactly like a boy. At sight of Saltash standing by the gate her whole attitude changed. She uttered a queer sound, half-whoop, half-sob, and flung herself out of the saddle.
With another sigh and a half-sob, Scotty rejoined: "Why you see we are in a bit of trouble, and the boys thought maybe you would give us a lift, if we'd tackle you that is, if I've got the rights of it and you are the head clerk of the doxology-works next door." "I am the shepherd in charge of the flock whose fold is next door." "The which?"
I want" a half-sob shook the fierce, young voice "I want to be part of things, and you you won't let me! I hate this this place; I'm choking to death!" And with this Priscilla got up and flung her arms over her head, while she ejaculated fiercely: "I want to be doshed!" The effect of this outburst upon the two listeners was tremendous.
