"I don't remember that you have ever yet kept me waiting, when told beforehand at what time I intended to start." "Of course not," she said, with a pleased laugh; "because I was afraid, if I did, I shouldn't be invited so often: and I'm always so glad to go with you." "Not gladder than I am to have you," he said, with a very lover-like glance and smile.
For one short instant, Theodora stared into the fire. Then she looked up into her husband's blue eyes. "Take her, of course," she said briskly. Mr. Farrington had never outgrown certain of his lover-like habits. Now he stretched his hand out to hers for a minute. "You're a comfort, Ted," he said. "I hated to refuse Harry, for his letter was a blue one. Will she be horribly in the way?"
He couldn't have survived for long, and yet there is a strain of genuine loveliness, the note of pure beauty in the verse of Dowson. He was poet, and kept to his creed with lover-like tenacity. He helped close a period that was distinguished all over the world, the period of the sunflower.
"Forgotten you? No, indeed!" this with almost lover-like emphasis. "I I think I am just a trifle aghast at my good luck in finding you again. It seemed so utterly hopeless, you know. Don't you think " But now the president had stalked in, and his high querulous voice was marshaling the party breakfastward.
Then Richard laughed too late; for a laugh may lose all its value if the right moment be missed. "Where's the fun?" she asked. "I thought, of course, that you'd be business-like as well as lover-like and would see 'The Seven Stars' had got more to it than 'The Tiger." Even now the situation might have been saved.
Always dressed with careful negligence, his hands beautifully white, his beard unshorn, his auburn hair floating over his uniformed shoulders in long ringlets, soft in speech, so very deferential to ladies as to seem almost lover-like, he was, nevertheless, very manly. Quite a cavalier one could look up to and respect.
And then she looked so altogether exactly the way he liked his wife to look, that he whispered something quite absurdly lover-like to her as he put her into the cab. She laughed in an excited, detached way and made no response in kind, and again his mood changed and a chilly fog of vague suspicion closed in upon him.
'This is she of course? asked Mrs Jo, pointing to the much-ruffled damsel with the jaunty hat, coquettish shoes, and racquet in her hand. 'That's Dora. Isn't she lovely? cried Tom, forgetting his tribulations for a moment and speaking with lover-like ardour. 'Very nice little person to look at. Hope she is not a Dickens Dora? That curly crop looks like it.
Partly this was desired by me in that lover-like feeling of admiration already explained, which leads one to court the sight of a beloved object under every change of dress, and under all effects of novelty. And does it not argue, on my part, an arrogant or too blind a confidence in the durability of my happiness, as though charmed against assaults, and liable to no shocks of sudden revolution?
But the hours go by, no matter to what measure, and midnight came, and the train came, and the comfort and privacy of a first-class carriage restored the lover-like attitude of the runaways. Early in the morning they reached Plymouth, and as soon as possible they sought the house of the Wesleyan preacher. It stood close to the chapel and was readily found.
