Other girls passed by, and some of them glanced with a coquettish challenge at the handsome tall youth with his frowning brow. But he did not see them. Presently and it was just on the stroke of seven he saw her coming, hesitantly, and with an air of complete and proper primness.
"I've come to the same conclusion myself, and to tell you the truth of the matter I've been contemplating marriage very seriously since I've been down here." "Good!" approved Westlake. "You're a fine boy, Sam. I may tell you right now that I approve of both you and your decision very heartily. I rather thought there was something in the wind that way." "Yes," confessed Sam hesitantly.
The next morning when Vickers entered his sister's library, Stacia Conry rose from the lounge where she had been lying reading a newspaper, and waited hesitantly while he came forward. She was very pretty this morning, with a faint touch of rose beneath her pale skin, her long lashes falling over fresh, shy eyes.
"They can have it!" growled Coburn. Janice said hesitantly: "But the Invaders haven't killed anybody we know of. They could have killed the Bulgarians. They didn't. The one who called himself Dillon stopped one man from killing them. And they could have killed us, earlier today at the airport. Could they want to be friends?" "They're starting the wrong way," said Coburn.
The Flopper pushed back his chair and stood up hesitantly like a man unexpectedly called upon for an after-dinner speech. He stood there awkwardly a moment gazing at Doc Madison, his tongue slowly circling his lips; then, with a gulp, as though words to express his feelings were utterly beyond him, he turned and started for the door. Pale Face Harry, as he rose, shoved out his hand.
He turned and saw the other spaceman still rooted to the ground, gazing up at the vast Earther city as if in narcoshock. "It's big," Quantrell murmured. "Too big." "Kevin! What's wrong?" "Leave him alone," Rat whispered. "I have a hunch he won't be going with you." Alan watched in astonishment as Quantrell took two steps hesitantly backward away from the bridge, then a third.
For a time, which lengthened to dragging minutes, the anxious experimenters hung over the tiny field instrument. The sensitive magnet seemed wholly dead. Then, suddenly, it began to tick hesitantly in response to Ford's tapping of the key. "Thank God, the battery is strong enough," he exclaimed. "Now, if there is somebody within hearing at Frisbie's end of the line ..."
But oh, well; you know what we found out last summer about their business methods. I can do business that way, too; as a matter of fact, I did do a good bit more of it last year than you knew anything about. But I'm out of it now, and I mean to stay out." A longer interval of silence followed, and at the end of it another query. "Is that all that's the matter, Buddy?" "No it isn't," hesitantly.
"Let 'em go on," he said jerkily. "I don't want to leave this yet, do you?" Arlee glanced about hesitantly, without answering, and slowly she let fall the white froth of skirt she had been gathering for the descent. In silence she looked out over the temple. The moon had paled from fire to molten silver now, and like scattered sparks of it burned the thousand circling stars.
But she knew it was there could feel the essential, imperative demand of it. "Well? Does the prospect alarm you?" Magda forced herself to meet his glance. "So soon?" she repeated hesitantly. "Yes. As soon as it can be accomplished," he said triumphantly. He seated himself beside her and took her in his arms, blankets and all. "Did you think I'd be willing to wait?" he said.
