No wonder an outraged little mortal now sat at her window, her heart beating tattoo, her temples throbbing, her cheeks blazing, her eyes flashing, but her hands clenched and icy cold. There she sat until all sounds in the big house were hushed. She was as rigid as though carved from marble, even though her breath came and went pantingly.
He seized her hand, and for a brief instant she let it rest in his. 'Speak to me, he murmured, caressingly and pleadingly. 'Tell me. 'I don't understand you, Mr. Protheroe, the girl said pantingly. 'Not understand me, dear? 'he whispered; 'I am asking you to be my wife. 'I understand that, she answered, drawing herself away from him, and speaking with difficulty.
And then I went back towards the outcrop of the reef again, and half-way down I picked up that big lump it was half buried in the ground.... And oh, Mr. Harrington, all that ridge is covered with it... I could have brought away as much again, but Sandy had no saddle-pouch... and I was dying to come home and tell you." She breathed pantingly for a few minutes.
But he had scarcely seated himself in the rocking-chair before Miss Macy appeared, carrying with both hands a large tin basin of unshelled peas. "There," she said pantingly, placing her burden in his lap, "if you really want to help, there's something to do that isn't very fatiguing. You may shell these peas." "SHELL them I beg pardon, but how?" he asked, with smiling earnestness. "How?
"It must have got in there, and the train will be off in another moment." Tom ran as requested, pantingly rescued the box, and came back smiling to tell her of his successful search. "That's right," said Rose, graciously. "Now you can help me on to the box-seat of the carriage, if you like. I'm going to sit beside Mr. Dixon." Dixon was the coachman, and a formidable rival in Tom's eyes.
Miss Quincey was aware of her shortcomings and had struggled hard to mend them, toiling pantingly after those younger ones who had attained the standard of brilliance and efficiency. She joined the Teachers' Debating Society. Not that she debated.
She is going to sleep at the Convent with them, and I was to give you her love, and say good-night." Say good-night! On this of all nights was Lynette to be dismissed without even the Mother's kiss? She gave back Beauvayse's parting hand-pressure almost mechanically. Then she heard his voice, close at her ear, say pantingly: "No one will see.... Please, dearest!"
We started off at a run, along the hard sand, but before we had done the first quarter of a mile, I felt that I could go no further, for I was pumped out, could scarcely breathe, and felt a strange, unnatural faintness overcoming me a not uncommon sensation experienced by many people just before a hurricane or an earthquake. "You must go on alone," I said, pantingly, to Yorke; "leave me here.
"And we may hurt you more if you don't get cheerful and help make the evening pass pleasantly," sneered the boss tramp harshly. "Wait till I -get so -I can get my breath -easier," begged Dick pantingly. The boss turned to Darrin. "Young fellow, wot can you do in the entertaining line?" demanded the fellow leeringly. "Nothing," Dave retorted sulkily.
Yet two more minutes, which embraced an agony of suspense, passed in the same fashion; then a shadowy form grew, phantomesque, out of the gloom; a moment more, and I distinctly heard the heavy breathing of a man nearly spent, and saw my friend scrambling up toward the black embrasure in the tower. His voice came huskily, pantingly: "Creep along and lend me a hand, Petrie! I am nearly winded."
