Facing her, he lifted his scarlet visor, meeting her stare with his wistful and diffident smile. "You see," he said, readjusting the mask. "But what does this mean?" "Do you remember our talk on the way home after Kismet four hours or several years ago: which is it?" "I remember we talked ..."
"I can't go like that"... "But you never want to go like that, my dear child," old Miss Ottridge had laughed, readjusting the pins; "just breathe in your ordinary way there, see? That's right." Perhaps Lilla's mother was right about blouses... perhaps they were "slommucky."
"I'm never tired," averred his sister, readjusting a hat-pin and gathering up her reins. "I always want to go everywhere that you'll take me, Dick. Consider that point settled for the summer. Are you coming, Sir Redmond?" "I think not, thank you," he said, not quite risen above his rebuff of the morning. "I told Mary I would be back for lunch."
What right have you got sittin' here on your long haunches and lettin' a boss do the work? Hey? Who are you?" "I'm his superintendent," grinned Bill, appreciating the joke of being superintendent of a mine where no one worked. "Oh!" said the engineer. And then, after a pause, as if readjusting all these conditions to meet his approval: "Say, he's all right, ain't he!"
Saturating our handkerchiefs afresh and readjusting them upon our faces, we rushed aft and descended the main hatchway. Here that is to say, immediately in the wake of the hatchway there was very little smoke, but with every step forward it became more and more dense, and as we approached the store-room the heat and smoke became so stifling that we could only proceed with the utmost difficulty.
The frank recognition of this state of masked hostility would have imposed on the Government the correlate duty of taking up the challenge, readjusting our public life to the altered conditions, urging the nation to make heavy sacrifices and dissatisfying radical constituencies, whose one ideal is to devote themselves exclusively to parochial policy and domestic legislation.
That this sweet and reflective girl should be the actress was as difficult to understand as that The Baroness should be at heart a good woman. For five minutes he hardly heard what she said, so busy was his mind readjusting itself to this abrupt displacement of values. With noiseless suddenness all the lurid light which the advertiser had thrown around the star died away.
Then, in the twenties or so, things calm down, and it is seen that readjustments have been made. By 'readjustments, one does not mean the treaties of statesmen and the like; brain-mind affairs for the most part, that amount to nothing. One means a new direction taken by the tide of incarnating souls. As if the readjusting cataclysms had blocked their old channels of these, and opened new ones...
And then I had the felicity of holding that little foot for one brief moment in the hollow of my hand, of readjusting the skirt as she threw her knee over the saddle-horn, of clasping her tightly only half in fear as I surrendered the reins to her grasp.
Nature, heredity, and instinct were at work, clashing and readjusting, impinging on him a new intelligence the beginning of a new understanding. A swift and savage impulse had made him leap at Bush McTaggart when the factor put his hand on the Willow's head. It was not reason.
