We shall meet before the face of the French, and then I expects every man on us will set an example to himself of courage and devotion." "That fellow grows worse and worse, each day, and I shall have to send him forward, in order to check his impertinence," said Sir Gervaise, half-vexed and half-laughing.
I just did it to please myself! Once I saw 'em ... I wanted 'em!" This seemed to me the wildest possible perversion of the Puritan instinct for self-condemnation and, half-vexed, I attempted some expostulation. She stopped me with a look and gesture Dante might have had, "You ain't seen what I've seen." I was half-frightened by her expression but tried to speak coolly.
When will dinner be ready?" "I have a secret to tell you also," he replied, with a half-vexed flash in his eyes: "There is a girl in this house who explains herself more or less every day, and who yet remains the most charming conundrum that ever kept a man awake from perplexity." "Oh, dear!" cried Madge, "is Miss Wildmere so bad as that? Poor, pale victim of insomnia! By the way, do you and Mr.
"What was it that we did see?" he asked, coming beside her. "The gracious hurry," she answered, with a half-vexed surprise in her eyes. "And what is the next thing to seeing that? Isn't it to partake? To be in a gracious hurry also, if we can?" A smile came up now in Desire's face, and effaced gently the vexation and the surprise.

"It's all true," he repeated. "You could do big things, Nan. And you do nothing." Nan laughed, half-pleased, half-vexed. "I think you overrate my capabilities." "I don't.

"Miss Helen, I'm a poor hand at words," he said, with a pale, grave face. "I was only speakin' for your own good." "You are exceedingly kind; but need not trouble yourself." "Say," Jonathan hesitated, looking half-vexed at the lovely, angry face.
Then, as if afraid she had been too cordial and had laid her motives open to suspicion in speaking thus to Charlton, she drew herself up and bade him good-night with stiff politeness, leaving him half-fascinated by her presence, half-vexed with something in her manner, and wholly vexed with himself for having any feeling one way or the other.

Jack! will you promise me not to go on the dam this afternoon?" "It is dangerous, is it?" I asked reluctantly; for I wanted sorely to join the rest.
Yolanda, in burgher girl's costume, sprang over the cushioned seat into Castleman's oak room. Max followed, and I, with an armful of woman's gear, helped the duchess to step to the cushion and thence to the floor. Max stood for a moment in half-vexed surprise, but Yolanda, two yards off, laughed merrily:
When I have anything to say about Marian Seaton, I'll say it to her. I'm going to steer clear of her if I can. If I can't, then she and I will have to come to an understanding one of these days.
