He came almost at once face to face with Draconmeyer, whom he was passing with unseeing eyes. Draconmeyer, however, detained him. "I was looking for you, Sir Henry!" he exclaimed. "Can you spare me one moment?" They stood a little on one side, out of the way of the moving throng of people. Draconmeyer was fingering nervously his tie of somewhat vivid purple. His manner was important.
"Why do I live so?" thought he, as he nervously paced the room. "My life is one of continual fear and anxiety, but it shall be so no longer. I'll tell her all when she returns. I'll brave the world, dare her displeasure, take 'Lena home, and be a man."
"Since I left her at the station? I came straight here." "Ah, yes you COULD: there was no reason " Her words passed into a silent musing. Thursdale moved nervously nearer.

Captain Branscome who, to the knowledge of both of us, never had a shilling in his pocket stood there nervously proffering me a guinea! Mrs. Stimcoe, having begged Captain Branscome to take watch for a while over the invalid, and having helped me to pack a few clothes in a handbag, herself accompanied me to the coach-office, where we found the Royal Mail on the point of starting.

"Anybody'd think you were afeard of me, the hurry you're in to run away!" He laughed nervously. "Of course, I'm not afraid of you," he exclaimed. "Why should I be?" "I don't know!"
To the superficial observer he looked quite as gay as usual; but he blinked nervously, and his first glance was a questioning one in the direction of Duvillard, as if he wished to know how the latter bore the fresh thrust directed at him by Sagnier.
He drew his coat forward over his knee, and put it back again nervously. Meynell's face was at first blank, or bewildered. Then a light of understanding shot through it. He fell back in his chair with an odd smile. "So that is what you have in your mind?" Barron coughed a little. He was angrily conscious of an anxiety and misgiving he had not expected.
