Always the same pretty, childlike face, fraught with a half-frightened, half-wondering trouble; always the same slender, graceful figure, but always glimmering in diamonds and satin, or spiritual in lace and pearls, against his own rude and sordid surroundings; always silent with parted lips, until the night wind smote some chord of recollection, and then mingled a remembered voice with his own.
The eyes of both men met; Fletcher's in half-wondering annoyance, Grant's in ill-concealed antagonism. What they would have said is not known, for at that moment the voices of Clementina and Mrs. Ramirez were heard in the passage, and they both entered the gallery. The two men were standing together; it was impossible to see one without the other.
Peter Martin's steady eyes, save for occasional glances at the objects of Adam's interest as Adam pointed them out, were fixed on the Mill owner with a half-wondering, half-pitying expression. Adam's evident nervousness increased. He talked of his Mill how he had built it up from nothing almost, to its present magnitude of the city and what he had done for the people.
I saw his look following her eye, which was continually inflamed and bedewed by the effects of her grief; and, after he had for a period of time fixed his half-conscious, half-wondering gaze on her, he turned it suddenly away, but not before he gave sufficient indications of sympathy and sorrow in a gush of tears.
Hearing such talk, I rode on half-wondering what England had been doing towards the Irish at home and the Boers abroad, for this was all news to me, and I had never noticed among the Dutch settlers on the veldt anything but a stolid kind of contentment with their prosperous lot; there not being a single case of poverty, as far as I knew, within a hundred miles of our pleasant home.
But now he will come, yes, he'll come now." Carford, driven half-mad by an outburst which his own device had caused, moved by whatever of true love he had for her, and by his great rage and jealousy against me, fairly ran at her and caught her by the wrist. "Why do you talk of him? Do you love him?" he said from between clenched teeth. She looked at him, half-angry, half-wondering. Then she said,
My aunt is gone to the prayer meeting at Pastor Tappau's, and Manasseh is away. Lois went on speaking to give Faith time, for the girl had become deadly white at the intelligence, while, at the same time, her eyes met the keen, cunning eyes of the old Indian with a peculiar look of half-wondering awe, while Nattee's looks expressed triumphant satisfaction.
She looked at them with half-wondering, half-indifferent eyes then closed the case and gave it to Robin Clifford. "They are for your wife when you marry," she said "Please keep them." Mr. Bayliss coughed a cough of remonstrance. "Pardon me, my dear young lady, but Mr. Jocelyn was particularly anxious the pearls should be yours " She looked at him, gravely.
He looked away again to the flowers, and Lorraine turned her eyes to the fire, with a swift wonder in her mind. She felt that something had transpired since they last parted something she did not know of, and that was entirely different to anything that had crossed their path before. Some new thought had been put into his mind. Something that made him give her that half-shy, half-wondering look.
It's stealin', and it's the wust kind of stealin', 'cause it ain't out an' out. I had a boy once about your size." "Where's he now?" asked Eddy, in a half-resentful, half-wondering fashion. "He's dead; died years ago of scarlet-fever, and I'd a good deal rather have it so, much as I thought of him as much as your father thinks of you than to have him grow up and steal and cheat folks."
