Crowe, who was understanding, knew at what cost the cost of a man who has lost a hand's first appearance in company with the stump unbandaged but anything would be better than the mopey Oliver of the last two weeks and a half, and Mrs.
"I tell you what it is, Avis Coulter," Constance was saying to a very plain, angular girl with large spectacles when the tea was almost over, "we've got to show this budding genius a little friendly attention, or she'll get homesick and mopey before the resplendent Merton returns to coddle her. What are you going to do to liven her dragging days?" The spectacled girl rubbed her nose thoughtfully.
"Even Chilian has been mopey, though I think he isn't well. He is getting thin, too, and goodness knows he had no flesh to lose. Oh, my dear, I hope you will never go away again while I live;" and she gave a long sigh as the girl left the room. She came down presently in a cheerful light frock and began to tell Cousin Eunice and Jane what she had seen and heard.

"You're mopey, eh?" asked Mrs. Love gently. "I'm cold," said Jay.
It makes me hot even to think of it. I should feel a hypocrite!" "Don't be high-flown, dear; it's quite unnecessary. You couldn't be a hypocrite if you tried; you are too ridiculously `proud, I suppose you would say. I call it quick-tempered! If Uncle Bernard snubs you, you will flare out, fortune or no fortune, and if you feel mopey, mope you will, if he disinherits you the next moment.
Bob at once flew to him with open arms, so to speak; and so did Rover too, the sagacious animal always reflecting his young master's moods, and having turned as woebegone as a naturally cheerful dog could be since he noticed Bob's being mopey, he had now resumed his proper tone of bark and mien, wagging his tail at the sight of Dick and thus reciprocating Bob's feelings.
