The stillness had been so absolute, the cry broke that stillness so abruptly and so horridly, that the doctor, strong-brained, strong-nerved as he was, gave a violent start, and the sweat started from his body. "I am a fool," he exclaimed angrily, welcoming the sound of his voice; "but I wish to God it were day and there were noises outside."
To her critical ear he gave the first reading of his essays; the judgment and the praise that he most valued were hers, and, as he put it towards the end of his life, when he was travelling with his son in Madeira and had been cut off from letters longer than he liked: Catch me going out of reach of letters again. I have been horridly anxious.
This was wearying labour, and about noon I was sitting on a bag, resting in the almost darkness, when something seemed to whisper to me these words: 'You dreamed last night that there is an old Chinaman alive in Pekin. Horridly I started: I had dreamed something of the sort, but, from the moment of waking, till then, had forgotten it: and I leapt livid to my feet.
Joyce was almost tearful in her earnestness to convince the doubting Cynthia. And then Cynthia yielded, as she always did, to Joy's entreaties. "Very well. It is an adventure, I suppose. But why not wait till some bright, sunny day? It'll be horridly dark and gloomy in there this afternoon." "Nonsense!" cried Joyce, who never could bear to wait an instant in carrying out some cherished plan.
"It was horridly improper; and Tom ought to have told you so, if you did n't know any better. I should be mortified to death if any of my friends saw you," added Fan, much disturbed. "Now, don't you scold. It 's no harm, and Polly shall coast if she wants to; may n't she, grandma?" cried Tom, gallantly coming to the rescue, and securing a powerful ally.
Though you should reject one half of what I give you, I shall be pleased with your adopting the other half, and shall continue to serve you with the same assiduity. In the printed copy of my "Nannie, O", the name of the river is horridly prosaic. I will alter it, Behind yon hills where Lugar flows.
"We shall see about that," said Lillie. "One thing at a time. I don't mean he shall live at Springdale. It's horridly pokey to live in those little country towns. He must have a house in New York." "And a place at Newport for the summer," said Belle Trevors.
That was the dreadful part, because the laugh where there have been tears is not a nice laugh, and Hattie could sit among the headstones of her dead dreams now and laugh. But not horridly. Just drearily. There was one grave, Heart's Desire, that was still a little moist.
You'll cut that poor little thing out in looks and voice, if not in acting." "Oh, uncle, I sang so horridly." "You can do better if you try; I wish there was time to train you. We'll do the 'logs duet' once more after this tomfoolery. Ha! Captain Armytage. You are an awful pirate, and no mistake. Where did you get that splendid horse-pistol?"
Grace has been sent clear over into the other corridor, and is paired with a greeny Say, who's this?" "Oh, I don't know!" said Cora, sullenly sitting down. "It's just too mean! I've got to stop here, I suppose." "And they've taken Belle from me and given me Annie Gibbons," cried the visitor. "And Annie snores horridly!" "It's a hateful place," snarled Cora Rathmore.
