It was hard to realize that she was there, within a stone's throw of where he was to sleep; but the strange, half-startled expression in her eyes that afternoon and the smile which had in it a curious quality he could not analyze were so vivid in his consciousness as to give him pain.
I forgot," ejaculated the officer; and then in a halting way he stumbled through the same sentence in a very bad translation as he rendered it into Spanish. "Ah!" said the old man, rising slowly; and Punch saw him look as if wonderingly at the rough peasant, who seemed to shrink back, half-startled, from the priest's stern gaze.
Menard watched her, the firelight was dancing on her face and hair, and again the danger seemed to slip away, the chant and the fire to be a part of some mad dream that had carried him in a second from Quebec to this deep-shadowed spot, and had set this maid before him. "You are wearing the daisy, Mademoiselle." She looked up, half-startled at the change in his voice. Then her eyes dropped again.
We entered the Chapel and I locked the door behind us, after which we carted the armored dummy up the aisle to the gate of the chancel rail where we put it down upon its round, wooden stand. "'Stand back! I shouted suddenly as young Jarnock made a movement to open the gate. 'My God, man! you mustn't do that! "Do what?" he asked, half-startled and half-irritated by my words and manner.
In a curious mood we donned these suits and went down below clad as the conquerors of old. There were some Indian troopers waiting, and when they saw these things they exclaimed and muttered excitedly to one another, casting half-startled looks.

Constance smiled with shy sweetness at Mary and Mary returned the smile, but in her blue eyes there flashed a sudden, half-startled expression, which neither Constance nor Marjorie noted.
On the gay-cushioned couches that flanked the tables, lounging luxuriously, were scores of the fair-haired ruling class and there rose a little buzz of admiration, oddly mixed with a half-startled amaze, as their gaze fell upon O'Keefe in all his silvery magnificence. Everywhere the light-giving globes sent their roseate radiance. The cuirassed dwarfs led us through the aisle.
Riddell, who was pacing the room moodily, stopped in a half-startled way as his visitor entered. "Do you want me?" he said. "No," said Wyndham. "I only just came across to see you, because I thought you'd wonder what had become of me." "Yes," said Riddell, trying to compose himself, "with all this cricket practice there's not been much chance of seeing one another."
Her eyes were clear and bright, and expressed a tender and sympathetic nature. She was looking straight at me in a half-startled sort of a manner, and appeared to be backing away from the bed upon which I lay. As my eyes met her steady gaze I involuntarily exclaimed, "Arletta!" Then instantly my memory returned, and I remembered all that had taken place, as explained in the preceding chapters.
'It would be meanly subservient to ask pardon for defending a father whom he thought maligned, said Albinia, and Sophy took exception at the word 'thought. 'Ah! of course he cannot be deceived! said Albinia but no sooner were the words spoken than she was half-startled, half-charmed by finding they had evoked a glow of colour. 'How do you think it will end? asked Sophy.
