"If it was important," she began hesitantly, "my father would be " "It was of no importance to me," he cut in. "To others Perhaps I could see some one else of your party." "Well, here I am." She smiled. "Why won't I do?" Behind the obscuring disks she could feel his glance read her. The grimness at the mouth's corners relaxed. "I really don't know why you shouldn't."
Distinctly she had understood, from the Leila Grey conversation, that Bobby Martin was a very eligible young man and yet here was her cousin flouting any financial congratulation. Hesitantly, "Is his father in a good business?" she offered, and won from Ruth more merriment as inexplicable as her speech. "He's in Steel," she murmured, which was no enlightenment to Maria.
"I think that she suspects; she senses your coming. Her face has the rapt expression that I have seen only when she plays. Has had since you started. Yet there is no possible way in which she could have learned." "That is very wonderful," said the stranger, in a hushed voice. Then, hesitantly, "What shall I do, Io?" "Nothing," came the girl's clear answer. "Go to her, that is all."
"Now he might be tricky," Collins announced, "but he's got to kiss my foot and the stick just the same. Watch!" He lifted and advanced his left foot, not tentatively and hesitantly, but quickly and firmly, bringing it to rest on the lion's neck. The stick was poised to strike, one act ahead of the lion's next possible act, as Collins's mind was one thought ahead of the lion's next thought.
Sometimes she is bow on to the wind, and at other times she is directly before it; but at all times she is circling vaguely and hesitantly to get somewhere else than where she is. As an illustration, at daylight this morning she came up into the wind as if endeavouring to go about. In the course of half an hour she worked off till the wind was directly abeam.
There was also the fact that no ship which had made such a landing would have extra rockets with which to take off for departure. The Cerberus had landed. Timmy's girl was on it. It had taken off again. It was either an impossible mass suicide or something worse. It certainly wasn't routine. Patrolman Willis asked hesitantly: "D'you think, sergeant, it could be Huks sneaked back ?"
"And a thing like that you can't throw away." Presently, from deep thoughtfulness, she said hesitantly: "I want to talk to Mr. Drennen. There is something I must say to him." "Let it wait a day or so," Sothern answered. "He is not himself right now. And George might misunderstand."
Difficulties were magnified and advantages were minimized by those whose interests were opposed to Southern industrial development, but the movement had now gained momentum and was not to be stopped. Timidly and hesitantly, capital for building mills was scraped together in dozens of Southern communities, and the number of spindles was doubled between 1880 and 1885 and continued to increase.
He had stuffed his ludicrous white gloves into his pocket, and was tearing strips from his handkerchief with skillful fingers. "Oughtn't he to have a doctor?" asked Carroll. "Shall I go for one?" "His mother has sent. No use, though." "He can't be saved?" "Not a chance on earth. I should say he was in the last stages." "What is it?" said Carroll hesitantly. "La muerte negra. The black death."
"I suppose it would," admitted Marrineal dubiously. "Of course fifty thousand in six months is an extreme assumption. Suppose the circulation stands still?" "Then I starve. It's a gamble. But it strikes me that I'm giving the odds." "Can you amuse yourself for an hour?" asked Marrineal abruptly. "Why, yes," answered Banneker hesitantly. "Perhaps you'd turn me loose in your library.
