Percy had not seen him for four years, and for a moment scarcely recognised him. It was a very old man that he saw now, bent and feeble, his face covered with wrinkles, crowned by very thin, white hair, and the little scarlet cap on top; he was in his black Benedictine habit with a plain abbatial cross on his breast, and walked hesitatingly, with a black stick.
If you do not alter your tone at once, I shall take a cab to Scotland Yard, and insist upon a complete investigation into the affairs of last night." There was no doubt as to the effect of my words upon Mr. Blumentein. He was seriously perturbed, and wholly unable to conceal it. "You can prove what you say, Mr. Courage, I suppose?" he remarked hesitatingly. "Absolutely!"
She glanced up at him hesitatingly and he went on: "On a Monday morning there won't be anybody on the boat. My train doesn't leave till evening: I'm going back to New York. Why shouldn't we?" he insisted, looking down at her; and suddenly he broke out: "Haven't we done all we could?" "Oh" she murmured again.
The color rose again quickly to her laughing face as she looked at Hurlstone. "Do you usually get up this pretty surprise for visitors?" she said hesitatingly. "I assure you I have nothing to do with it," he answered, with frank amazement; "it's quite spontaneous. And look they are even decorating ME."
"These young men have engaged the steam launch, to tow their expedition up the river," he said hesitatingly; "they are going on a hunting trip, into the interior, and have, I venture to say, one of the most complete outfits I have ever seen." The naturalist looked wistfully at Frank.
Forsyth tittered immoderately, and the next week it was rumoured about the valley that 'Tony Garstin was gone luny over t' parson's niece. Anthony flushed dully, looking hesitatingly from the one to the other; then slowly put down his beer-can, and of a sudden, seizing Jacob by the neck, swung him heavily on the grass.
"Y-e-s," he answered hesitatingly, "I could not help seeing it. It is close by the bridge not twenty paces distant." "Did you see any one else except the house?" I asked. "No," he returned promptly. "I did not want to see any one else. If I had I should have entered the house." "Why, then, did you go to the bridge?" I queried. "I cannot answer that question even to myself," he replied.
Grey thought it doubtful if Neil would be quite as enthusiastic over Bessie's baby as she seemed to think, but when a few hours later she drew his face down to hers and whispered to him: "We will call baby Neil McPherson, won't we?" he fondly kissed the little mother, and answered hesitatingly: "Yes, darling, we will call our baby Neil McPherson, if you like."
Besides, if she does play so very well, you know, it is no more than she is obliged to do, because she will have to teach. The Coxes were wondering last night whether she would get into any great family. How did you think the Coxes looked?" "Just as they always do very vulgar." "They told me something," said Harriet rather hesitatingly; "but it is nothing of any consequence."
Mother, she who had faced a sheriff's shot-gun, was timorous about facing an irate matron, and she tagged hesitatingly after Father as he marched along the row of bungalows, up the steps of the one that was rented, and rang the bell. The door was opened by a maid, in a Lipsittsville version of a uniform.
