Petrie would countenance such a thing if he doubted the necessity?" Mr. Henderson looked at me with pathetic hesitance. "There are guests in the house mourners who attended the ceremony to-day. They " "Will never know, if we are in error," interrupted Smith. "Good God! why do you delay?" "You wish it to be kept secret?" "You and I, Mr. Henderson, and Dr. Petrie will go now.

"In a little week, my friend, your till will have no vulgar silver in it; gold, yellow gold." "And the duchess?" with hesitance. The budget of news to-night was not of the usual kind. Johann did not answer, save by a shrug. The perturbation of the old man was so manifestly beyond control that he could not trust his legs. He dropped on the stool, giving his grizzled head a negative shake.

Here again the words are all colloquial and are set in their accustomed order; but by sheer mastery of rhythm the poet contrives to express the tremulous hesitance of Viola's mood as it could not be expressed in prose.

Temple Temple Barholm left the house taking a midnight train, and leaving no clue as to his where-abouts or intentions." "Disappeared! " said the duke. "Where has he been looked for?" The countenance of both Mr. Palford and his party expressed a certain degree of hesitance. "Principally in asylums and so-called sanatoriums," Mr. Grimby admitted with a hint of reluctance.

At last, however, the door was opened gently, and with a hesitance that led me to imagine that it was Clélie herself who had pushed it open, and immediately afterward I was sure that she had uttered an alarmed exclamation.

The simplest way to introduce the element of hesitance and wavering, and thereby make the story more truly suggestive of the intricate variety of life, is to interrupt the series by the introduction of events whose apparent tendency is to hinder its progress, and in this way emphasize the ultimate triumph of the series in attaining its predestined culmination.
