Yorick, and is not sorry to get to the opening of the second volume, with its half-tender, half-humorous, and wholly delightful account of Uncle Toby's difficulties in describing the siege operations before Namur, and of the happy chance by which these difficulties made him ultimately the fortunate possessor of a "hobby."

"If I must," he said with very bad grace so ungraciously in fact that as they passed from the eastern corridor on to the Spanish balcony she forgot her own promise and slipped her hand into his in half-humourous, half-tender propitiation. "Are you going to be disagreeable to me, Garry?"

Whereas those who always crawl on the earth haven't far to fall. Now look here, Toby, you and I have got to have a talk." "Yes, sir," said Toby, blinking rather rapidly. Saltash was watching him with a faint smile in his eyes, half-derisive and half-tender. "What are you going to be, Toby?" he said. "It all turns on that." Toby's hand still gripped the back of his chair.

Maryllia's hand laid so coaxingly on his arm, Maryllia's face so sweetly and pleadingly upturned, Maryllia's half-tender tremulous voice with its 'Will you forgive me? and then his own impetuous words! the way he had caught her hand and kissed it! why his very look must have betrayed him to the 'noble and honourable' detective, part of whose distinguished role it was to listen at doors and afterwards relate to an inquisitive and scandal-loving society all that he heard within.

"Herz, mein Herz," died faintly away down the esplanade; there was nothing but the glitter of the bay, and the moon climbing higher and higher above the Isle of Portland. Anne spoke at last, amidst the half-playful, half-tender caresses that were so dear to Agatha, who had never known what it was to be calmly and safely in a mother's arms. Lying thus seemed most like it.

And so, during the last two years of his university course, he did meet them and overcame, honours falling liberally to his share. Julius March looked on in pleased surprise at the exploits of his former pupil. While Ludovic Quayle, with raised eyebrows and half-tender, half-ironical amusement relaxing the corners of his remarkably beautiful mouth, would say:

She liked to see that look of power in his gray-blue eyes softened to the droll, half-tender, expression with which he played the game of make-believe. There were no to-morrows; to-day marked the limit of time for them. By tacit consent they lived only in the present, shutting out deliberately from their knowledge of each other, that past which was not common to both.

But, from this earliest note in the ascending scale of superstitious faith, let us pass to a more alarming key. It is the mere fancy, in a mood half-playful, half-tender, which submits to the belief. It is the feeling, the sentiment, which creates the faith; not the faith which creates the feeling.

Though he was smiling a little, there was no mistaking the message his held for her. She coloured again very deeply, and bent her head to hide it. He did not keep her waiting. Very quietly, very resolutely, he leaned towards her across the table, and spoke. "I will tell you now what your brother said to me, Hope," he said, his voice half-quizzical, half-tender.

"Will he hurt him?" asked Joyce quickly. "Can't tell. He'll try. That's a cinch." The dark brown eyes of the girl brooded. "That's not fair. We can't let him run into more danger for us, Dad. He's had enough trouble already. We must do something. Can't you send him to the Spring Valley Ranch?" "Meanin' Dug Doble?" asked Bob. She flashed a look of half-smiling, half-tender reproach at him.
