I didn't do anything to offend you, did I, Gil?" "You? You, Lucia?" he cried. "You couldn't do anything to offend me. Surely you must know that." He said it as a man says such things to the one woman he loves. "It was only pride?" she was anxious to know again. "Because you were poor! Gil! Did you think so little of me as that?" There was a half-sob in her voice.
"He looked so dreadful, so savage and miserable," Jan said with a half-sob. "Well naturally," said Peter. "You'd feel savage and miserable if you were in his shoes." "But oughtn't I to help him? Send him money, I mean." "Not one single anna. It'll take you all your time to get his family home and keep them when you get there. Have you seen enough? Shall we go back?"
"Adam...I'm very sorry...I behaved very wrong to you...will you forgive me...before I die?" Adam answered with a half-sob, "Yes, I forgive thee Hetty. I forgave thee long ago." It had seemed to Adam as if his brain would burst with the anguish of meeting Hetty's eyes in the first moments, but the sound of her voice uttering these penitent words touched a chord which had been less strained.
Then she said sorrowfully to her companion, "Mary, I feel just the same toward you as always, only I am terribly hurt. I wish your way to be my way and your friends mine. If you are sure that you would like Mignon for a friend, then I am going to try to like her for your sake. But we mustn't quarrel or not not speak or let General and Captain know that " Marjorie's words died in a half-sob.
"Why, you told mamma and me yourself. It was the day she was rude and asked if Mr. Gwynn would make you his heir." "Surely," said Richard, grinning cheerfully, as if a puzzle had been made plain, "so I did." "Sweetheart, I loved you from that moment!" cried Dorothy; and with a half-sob to be company for the caress, she drifted about Richard's neck.
At last, when it seemed she could endure no more, and while she was wetting her dry lips to cry out in protest, Mercedes ceased. "And here endeth the first lesson," she said quite calmly, then laughed with a laughter that was tantalizing and tormenting. "What is the matter? You are not shocked?" "I am frightened," Saxon quavered huskily, with a half-sob of nervousness. "You frighten me.
"You must take my arm," I said, "and I will help you to the vicarage." "I will go home," she answered. "Lean on me now, at least; for you must get somewhere." "What does it matter?" she said, in such a tone of despair, that it went to my very heart. A wild half-cry, half-sob followed, and then she took my arm, and said nothing more.
Taking no heed of the horse's greeting, Janice stood, listening intently for a repetition of the sound that had alarmed her. "I heard you," she continued, after a moment. Then she gave a little cry of fright, which was scarcely uttered when it was succeeded by a half-sob and half-exclamation of mingled joy and relief. "Oh, Clarion!" she exclaimed, "you gave me such a turn, with your cold nose.
The princess did not start she did not even look surprised when I uttered the strange sentence, but her great round eyes welled up in tears, and she caught her breath in a half-sob once. Then, without uttering a word, she extended her hand and placed it in mine, and we remained thus, for a moment silent.
'It is very good of Him, said Alfred, a little more tranquilly, not in the half-sob in which he had before spoken. 'Most merciful! said Mr. Cope. 'But does it mean me? continued Alfred. 'You were baptized, Alfred, you have a right to all His promises of pardon. And he repeated the blessed sentences: 'Come unto Me, all that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you.
