As he sat thus, leaning his head upon his hand, and half-reclining upon the bed, a deep sigh, or half-suppressed sob, caught his ear. It came from the adjoining chamber. He remembered his child in an instant. His only child whom he most fondly loved.

"If I may, I'll stay at the house until he comes to take me." A weary, half-suppressed sigh escaped from her. I knew how she must be reading my silence, but I was still unable to speak. She went to the horse, browsing near by; she stroked his muzzle. Lingeringly she twined her fingers in his mane, as if about to spring to his back!

After two days' performance of these honourable duties, the Commissary of Police made a descent upon the inn, arrested the landlord and landlady and carried away my account books with him. No, I had not vanquished the fates!" Every head was turned, every eye directed in amazement towards this extraordinary personage. There was much whispering and some half-suppressed laughter.

"You are too modest, Jacopo; I have found you again as I left you ten years ago; now, listen, will you accompany me?" Jacopo trembled all over. "Leave Marseilles?" muttered he, in half-suppressed words; "oh, master, if you only knew that it is my sole and only joy to wander on the strand, and to contemplate that blue ocean which swallowed her up!"

He seized her hand and drew her towards him, exclaiming in an eager, breathless, half-whisper: "No! closer and closer shall my love draw us, beautiful one! until it compasses your hate and unites us forever!" With a half-suppressed cry she wrung her hand from his grasp and answered, wildly: "I sought your presence to entreat you and to warn you!

So he remained silent, staring, wrapped in his own musings. His mother looked at him in silence also, but with a half-suppressed smile. At last she asked, "Sa uishe, will you eat?" "Yes," he replied, considerably relived by this turn in the conversation. He rose and moved briskly toward the entrance to the cooking apartment; but Say held him back.

Naida, her face pressed against the other window, gave vent to a single note of half-suppressed laughter. "There 's going to be something happening," she exclaimed. "Oh, Miss Spencer, come here quick some one is going to turn on the hydraulic." Miss Spencer knelt beside her.

There followed a tramping on the stairs and a half-suppressed laugh as the new-comer stumbled upward. Marie opened the door slowly. "It is a gentleman," she announced, "who does not give his name." Juliette de Gemosac was standing at the far side of the table, with the lamp throwing its full light upon her. She was dressed in white, with a blue ribbon at her waist and wrists.

Really, I think a baby is a very pretty thing; and it will be so nice to play with until Angus comes home." Elspie turned round from the corner where she sat sewing, and looked with a half-suppressed sigh at her master's wife, whose delicate English beauty, and quick, ringing English voice, formed such a strong contrast to herself, and were so opposed to her own peculiar prejudices.
