There was a smiling, half-tearful look in her eyes those expressive eyes which, but a moment before, had burnt with a vengeful fire as she asked the question. After all her nature was wondrously simple. "Why should I, dear?" he replied, bending and kissing the gauntleted hands which rested so lovingly in his. "My life has scarcely been a Garden of Eden before the Fall.
Wappinger gazed at Diane, in the half-tearful helplessness of one not used to coping with unusual situations.

Joyce had always been careful about wearing a sunbonnet or a wide brimmed hat when she went out in the sun. Mary remembered now, with many compunctions, how often she had been warned to do the same.

She had rolled in somehow over the side, and sat soaked and heavy, half-laughing and half-tearful, right at his feet. "Oh," she said, "I'm making you all wet." "Well, that's the neatest ever," cried Fred Hamilton in involuntary admiration. The work of emptying the other canoe, with the help of such an expert, was an easy matter.

These two scenes would make agreeable companion pictures: Goldoni staggering beneath his wife across the muddy bed of an Italian stream the smiling writer of agreeable plays, with his half-tearful helpmate ludicrous in her disasters; Alfieri mad with rage among Parisian Mænads, his princess quaking in her carriage, the air hoarse with cries, and death and safety trembling in the balance.
And then there was, of course, the breakfast of which I, for one, ate very little and the speechifying afterwards, and what not; and then the happy couple retired for a time, appearing again in travelling attire; then there was the half-laughing, half-tearful "good-bye," the descent of all hands in a body to the door, where Annesley's handsome travelling-carriage and four stood in readiness; then more good-byes; and finally the departure, in the midst of a perfect storm of cheers and old shoes all in regular order.
