Rowcliffe's motor car tearing up the Dale. The woman in the other room heard it too. She had heard its horn hooting on the moor road nearly a mile away. She raised her hand and listened. It hooted again, once, twice, placably, at the turning of the road, under Karva. She shivered at the sound. It hooted irritably, furiously, as the car tore through the village.
Upon my honour," he added in his natural manner, "I believe she does, though!" But the look became his companion. It touched and called up great vanity in his breast, and not till then could he placably confront the look. He tried a course of reading. Every morning he was down in the library, looking old in an arm-chair over his book; an intent abstracted figure. Mrs.
He was about to lose a nurse who had been to him for ten years, like his right hand; and he was utterly discomfited and confused in all his confirmed impressions of her character, by these startling revelations of her history. He would not have been a Briton if these untoward combinations of events had not made him surly. "Nay, nay!" said Father Antoine, placably. "Not so.
"It is evident that the mother and her pastor are both of the new dispensation or worse," was his thought, but his natural courtesy led him to say, placably: "There are mysteries in the world, I admit in chemistry as in biology but they seem to me to be different in very essence from the 'mysteries' of spiritualism and all allied 'psychic phenomena, which appear to me essentially absurd, ignoble 'ratty, to use a slang phrase a faith founded upon things done in the dark, always in the dark."
And when Fanny thought of the lavender bags Susan-Nanna sent every year at Christmas, she had cried. "How could you do it, Horatio? How could you?" "There was nothing else to be done. You can't expect me to take your sentimental, view of Ballinger." "It isn't Ballinger. It's poor Susan-Nanna and the babies, and the lavender bags." Mr. Waddington swayed placably up and down on the tips of his toes.
He spoke placably as if he made allowance for her attitude while he preserved his own. "There is a great deal more to be said, dear. And I may as well say it now. I disapprove of him so strongly that I cannot have him received in this house if I am to remain in it." Astonishment held him dumb. "You have no right to expect me to," said she. "To expect you to remain, or what?"
He knew the kind of sky, having oftener seen that than any other, and he knew the house before it was named to him and he had flung a discolouring thought across it. He contemplated it placably and studiously, perhaps because the shower-folding armies of the fields above likened its shadowed stillness to that of his Irish home. There had this woman lived!
"Laugh and ye will," he said, quite placably; "ye shall never laugh the peetriotism out o' me. 'Tis little enough an old man can do, but the precious cause o' liberty will never have to ask that little twice, Captain Ireton." Since he would ever be on the winning side, this foreshadowed good tidings, indeed. So I would ask him straight what news there was. "Have they not told ye?
"Eh! but, Missis, I can tell you his name the gentleman's name," said Sedgett, placably. "He's a Mr. Algernon Blancove, and a cousin by marriage, or something, of Mrs. Lovell." "I reckon you're right about that, goodman," replied Mrs. Boulby, with intuitive discernment of the true from the false, mingled with a desire to show that she was under no obligation for the news.
"When you've roused Sir John, if you ever do rouse him, then you'll have to round up all the towns and villages for twenty miles. It's a pity you can't have Ralph; he would have rounded them for you in no time on his motor-bike." "I am quite capable of rounding them all up myself, thank you." "Well, dear," said Fanny placably, "it'll keep you busy for the next six months, and that'll be nice.
