"Oh! all you want, I am sure," said Vesta, heartily. "But they are not really so pretty as those at home." "I thought perhaps you would give me one of those in your hand," said Geoffrey, half-timidly. "Thank you! I don't suppose " He was about to suggest her pinning it on his coat, but caught sight of Mrs. Weight at the opposite window, and refrained.
Without edible fruits, in short, there could be no monkey; and without monkeys there could be no man." "But mayn't there be edible fruits in the other planets?" Frida inquired, half-timidly, more to bring out this novel aspect of Bertram's knowledge than really to argue with him; for she dearly loved to hear his views of things, they were so fresh and unconventional. "Edible fruits?
The two detectives were immediately shown into a morning room in which sat a little, middle-aged lady in a widow's cap and weeds, who looked at her visitors half-timidly, half-welcomingly. She sat by a small table on which lay a heap of newspapers, and Starmidge's sharp eyes saw at once that she had been reading the published details of the Scarnham affair.
He walked with an uncertain and agitated step, glancing to right and left of him as he went, half-fiercely, half-timidly, as though he expected a new adversary to spring upon him from every corner. The straight line of the houses waned and shivered in the dusk, as he looked at them, and he saw flashes of light in the air. His head was hot and aching, and his hat hurt him.
"Dear, dear girl! what a brave heart is thine!" said I, gazing on her beautiful features, tenfold handsomer from the expression which her heroism had lent them.

"It is not necessary, Ben; she is better, I think," said the young man, looking half-timidly into the boatman's face.
He deplored that Taranto possessed no museum. New accessions to its store are continually pouring in; so they lately discovered, in a tomb, a Hellenistic statuette of Eros and Aphrodite, 30 centimetres high, terra-cotta work of the third century. The goddess stands, half-timidly, while Eros alights in airy fashion on her shoulders and fans her with his wings an exquisite little thing.
That it was obviously intended by nature to be used as a bath was the thought which flashed simultaneously through the minds of the three fair gazers; and as each one glanced half-timidly around, only to feel reassured by the utter absence of any indication of probable unwelcome intrusion, the thought speedily found vent in words.
"Aunt Emma," she said half-timidly, "may I give Margery something to eat? She is so hungry. I hear her crying." Miss Hender did not answer. "Have you seen the poker?" she demanded, impatiently. "One of those boys has walked off with it, I'll be bound! and here is my fire going out for the want of a stirring up. How anybody can be expected to get on where there's a parcel of children "
Nobody's brutal now; you never see that form nowadays. Come, what is the worst this time?" Berkeley looked sullenly down on the table where his elbows leaned; scattering the rose-notes, the French novels, the cigarettes, and the gold essence-bottles with which it was strewn; there was something dogged yet agitated, half-insolent yet half-timidly irresolute, upon him, that was new there.
