"Frida," he went on, after a moment's pause, "I won't speak to you of what I was going to say just now. I'll wait a bit till you're stronger and better able to understand it. But there must be no more silly talk of farewells between us. I won't allow it. You're mine now a thousand times more truly mine than ever you were Monteith's; and I can't do without you.
But he knew that he must not pause. Now was his moment, and now only. Before the mist had cleared from his eyes he gave his hand into Abdalla's. "In God's name, so be it. I also will go with Gordon, and thou with me," he said.
Hundreds of arms and hands were continually stretched out, on both sides of the shed, toward this streaming bar, and through the babel of eager cries rose without pause the racket of mallets tapping new kegs. Theron had never seen any considerable number of his fellow-citizens engaged in drinking lager beer before.
Paul wondered also. It seemed strange that after so unusual an event the old man should turn restless and wish to leave a place where he had lived for over twenty years. "I'll come and have an explanation," said Paul, after a pause. "I think that will be best, dear. Father said that he would like to see you again, and told Bart to bring you in if he saw you."
"Can you not imagine what such a gentleman may have to say?" Then there was a pause, but she made no immediate answer. "I am to tell you, my dear, that your father would approve of it." "Approve of what?" "He approves of Lord Popplecourt as a suitor for your hand." "How can he?" "Why not, Mary?
"Better open it and read it to me," I suggested. "If it is important, that will save time." There was a pause while Mr. Harton opened the telegram. Then he read it slowly, judicially. "'Watch for Nina Carrington. Home Monday. Signed F. L. W." "Hum!" I said. "'Watch for Nina Carrington. Home Monday. Very well, Mr. Harton, I will tell her, but she is not in condition to watch for any one."
In the distance, from behind the barriers, a couple of miles away, the boom of a gun was heard. "They are closing the barriers," he said quietly after a long pause. "I am glad I was fortunate enough to meet you." "It was kind of you to seek for me," she said meekly. "I didn't mean what I said just now..." "I pray you, say no more about it. I can so well understand. I only wish..."
And as soon as I have sent the letter and crossed a name off my list, I am aiming for the next one!" And after a pause he added: "I do not attempt to send any young man enough for all his expenses. But I want to save him from bitterness, and each check will help. And, too," he concluded, naïvely, in the vernacular, "I don't want them to lay down on me!"
Perhaps what I may say may modify your wishes. You will, at least, know if it is proper for me to accept the hand of the King of Denmark. Does your majesty allow me to speak?" "Speak," said the king, seating himself near her. After a short pause, Amelia said, in an earnest, solemn voice: "Sire, I pray for pardon for the Baron Frederick von Trenck."
"You wrong her exceedingly. Mrs. Ferrars is one of the most affectionate mothers in the world." Elinor was silent. "We think NOW," said Mr. Dashwood, after a short pause, "of ROBERT'S marrying Miss Morton." Elinor, smiling at the grave and decisive importance of her brother's tone, calmly replied, "The lady, I suppose, has no choice in the affair." "Choice! how do you mean?"
