He seemed to find much food for thought in this; but his reply was very slow and hesitant. "You see, madam," he said, "from outside the place looks well, it is a perfectly decent place but ladies like you don't don't generally think so. They never go into such places from choice, except " "Well?" she repeated. "Except an unfortunate few who don't go in to drink milk."
"You've heard something?" "I have a message from our consul at Puerto del Norte, Mr. Wisner." "For me?" asked the concessionaire. "Why, no," was the hesitant reply. "It isn't quite clear, but it seems to be for Miss Brewster." "Why not?" inquired that young lady coolly. "What is it?"
She was unaware that she had made her mark upon Janet and Charlie so far back as the days of the dancing-classes. And she under-estimated the appeal of her situation as an orphan and a solitary whose mother's death, in its swiftness, had amounted to a tragedy. The scherzo was finished, and Alicia had not returned into the drawing-room. The two pianists sat hesitant. "Where is that infant?"
And casting about for an excuse, he grasped at the most sovereign solace he knew of. "Beg pardon, sir," he advanced, hesitant, "but perhaps you're just feeling a bit blue. Won't you let me bring you a drop of something?" "Of course I will," said Duncan emphatically over his shoulder. "And get it now, will you, while I'm packing.... And, Robbins!" "Sir?" "Only put a little in it."
But it was a scene of desolation which was somehow more horrible even than the scarred and battered moon of Earth. Cochrane looked out very carefully. Alicia came to him, a trifle hesitant. "Johnny's asleep now. He didn't sleep at first, and while we were out of gravity he was unhappy. But he went off to sleep the instant we landed. He needs rest.
If once we begin to doubt about them, if once we begin to think that men have got a good deal of light already, and can do very well without much more, or if we at all are hesitant about our possession of the light, and the certitudes and the joys that are in it, then good-bye to our missionary zeal.
When he got into the free State of Pennsylvania, he felt more joy than he dared express. He had by his cool temerity and address passed every sentinel undetected, and no slave, to his knowledge, he afterward said, ever got away from bondage on so narrow a margin of safety. There is great encouragement for the seemingly backward, hesitant youth in the story of Henry Ward Beecher's early life.
There came to me a huge desire to see the destruction they had told us of the Dweller's lair; to observe for myself whether it was not possible to make a way of entrance and to study its mysteries. I spoke of this, and to my surprise both the handmaiden and the O'Keefe showed an almost embarrassed haste to acquiesce in my hesitant suggestion.
Her voice was hesitant, intimate, girlishly shy. "We haven't seen nearly as much of each other as a mother and son ought. There are lots of things about me you don't know. For all you know, what you said of Richard a moment ago ... might be true of me...." "What I said about Richard?..." "About times when one feels life too difficult and wants Someone to help one...."
A man knowing himself overmatched cannot refuse combat. He may, even as Mayenne had done, think himself compelled to offer it. But if he insists on forcing battle with a reluctant adversary, he must be a hothead indeed. And Mayenne was no hothead. He stood hesitant, feeling that he was made ridiculous in accepting the clemency and should be still more ridiculous to refuse it.
