But Milly had no money for such gentle treatment. She had to run the risk of bruising her sensibilities whenever she set foot out of doors, and she was too healthy-minded to sit long at home and mope. And home was not a pleasant place these days. Still, she said to herself defiantly, she was not sorry for what she had done. A woman's first duty was to her heart, etc.
Her smile was so sweet, and her face so bewitching, that Harry thought he never saw any face so lovely. "You see," continued Katie, "I mope and mope, and keep moping so; and things grow so tiresome, that I fairly ache for an adventure." "Well, but suppose that you were in an awful hurry to meet some one, and were stopped in this fashion?" At this Katie's whole expression changed.
"C'est sa facon de tout voir, au contraire, ma mere," significantly returned Monsieur Paul, with his knowing smile. The mother's shrug answered the smile, as both mother and son walked in different directions across the sunlit court. I have always found the act of going away contagious. Who really enjoys being left behind, to mope in a corner of the world others have abandoned?
One ought to live life, or the best part of it, on one's own lines. I feel as if I was on show just now, and it's a nuisance." "Well," said Maud, "I am afraid I do rather like showing you off and feeling grand; but it won't go on for ever. I'll try to contrive something. I don't see why you need be drawn in. I'll talk to Cousin Anne about it." "But I am not going to mope alone," said Howard.
"And what sort of signs, Bunting, would you mostly esteem in a lady?" "First place, Sir woman I'd marry, must not mope when alone! must be able to 'muse herself; must be easily 'mused. That's a great sign, Sir, of an innocent mind, to be tickled with straws. Besides, employments keeps 'em out of harm's way.
"Fancy Phin Drayne passing in his references for the character ordeal!" chuckled Tom Reade, as the three chums walked down the street. "What time does the next train leave for Gridley?" suddenly demanded Dave. "In twelve minutes," answered Tom, after looking at his watch. "Let's run, then!" proposed Dave. "We can mope, and have five minutes to spare," objected Reade.
"Be merry, Mistress Maude, I pray you! you mope not, surely?" "I scarce know, Master Lyngern. Mayhap so." "Shame to mope on such a day!" said Bertram, springing from the saddle, and holding his hand to help Maude to jump down also. "There hath not been so fair a morrow this month gone."
It didn't make it any more pleasant for Thornton, who was probably reproaching himself rather bitterly for having been tempted by the "short cut," to have her sit and mope beside him! She began to hum an air softly to herself and then laughingly sang a bar or two aloud. Thornton shot a quick, appreciative glance at her and nodded, joining in the laugh. "By Jove!" he said approvingly.
"They" were of course Maggie and her father, moping so far as they ever consented to mope in monotonous Eaton Square, but placid too in the belief that they knew beautifully what their expert companions were in for.
She expected of no man not even of Jack that perfect faithfulness in every word and thought which is read of in books. And it is one of the theories of the day that what one does not expect one is not called upon to give. Jack, she reflected, was too much a man of the world to expect her to sit and mope alone.
