"Halves?" said he at length, suddenly looking straight into Carson's face. The clerk flushed a dull red. The conspiracy was formed. "Why, yes," said he, his voice half-trembling. "I reckon that would be about right." "Well, then, give me the lists," said Decherd. "I'm up and down the road in the Delta now and then. I'll take care of these things.
The enthusiasm of the moment, for a time beyond all bounds, was at last subdued after prolonging itself by its own fruitless efforts to subdue itself, and the divine songstress, with that perfect bearing, that air of all dignity and sweetness, blending a child-like simplicity and half-trembling womanly modesty with the beautiful confidence of genius and serene wisdom of art, addressed herself to song, as the orchestral symphony prepared the way for the voice in Casta Diva.
She no longer spoke in the half-trembling childish way he remembered; there was something more grown-up and womanly about her. "Don't be a little fool," he said roughly. "What is the matter? What have I done now? I'm sick to death of these scenes and heroics; for God's sake try and behave like a rational woman. Do you want the whole hotel to know that we've quarrelled?"
At its close, the released, pupils rushed out, half-trembling, half-exultant. I, too, was going. A mandate to remain arrested me. I muttered that I wanted some fresh air sadly the stove was in a glow, the classe over-heated.
I do not know what thoughts whirled through Éloise's dreamless brain during the rest of that night, nor with what half-trembling resolutions she arose, nor how much pride she had drowned in a vaster flood.

He looked up as she entered. "Good-morning, papa," she said, in half-trembling tones. He started a little for it was the first time he had ever been addressed by that title, and it sounded strange to his ears gave her a glance of mingled curiosity and interest, half held out his hand, but drawing it back again, simply said, "Good-morning, Elsie," and returned to his paper.
There was something about the young man she did not like. Had she looked at Clara just then she would have seen her eyes filled with a lovely, wavering light, while a half-trembling consciousness was infused into her whole appearance. These signs to the observant are not difficult to read. Clara loved her handsome cousin, and unfortunately he was not blind to the fact.
He cannot dig down the cliffs, or chain the storm-blasts; and his fear of them takes bodily shape: he begins to people the weird places of the earth with weird beings, and sees nixes in the dark linns as he fishes by night, dwarfs in the caves where he digs, half-trembling, morsels of copper and iron for his weapons, witches and demons on the snow-blast which overwhelms his herd and his hut, and in the dark clouds which brood on the untrodden mountain-peak.
There was the rustle of a gown; Ayacanora sprang from him with a little cry, and stood, half-trembling, half-defiant, as if to say, "He is mine now; no one dare part him from me!" "Who is it?" asked Amyas. "Your mother." "You see that I am bringing forth fruits meet for repentance, mother," said he, with a smile. He heard her approach.
You bid her adieu with tones of kindness that tremble, and that meet a half-trembling tone in reply. She is very good. If it were not too late! Manly Love. And shall pride yield at length! Pride! and what has love to do with pride? Let us see how it is. Madge is poor; she is humble.
