The far-away look died away, and became puzzled; her chin came out of her hand, and the hand it came out of covered her eyes. Before Georgie had got to the end the answer to her note came, and she sat with it in her hand, which, released from covering her eyes, tried to beat time. On the last note she got up with a regretful sigh. "Is it finished?" she asked.
"I hope she will," little Elsie said. "I'd like to be flower girl again, and my dress is all ready, so that it wouldn't make any trouble or expense." "That is very thoughtful in you, little sister," laughed Lucilla. "I am really sorry there is no time or opportunity to buy presents for Maud," remarked Violet in a regretful tone.
And now the Judge's serious rejoinder. And then her imperious request that he come home. And the Judge's regretful reply could not on account of pressing matters. And then her tearful, choking outburst into the transmitter! And now suddenly the wires crossing and a strange voice demanding that she get off. And with it her utter collapse.
'So you are to come just the same, urged Mrs. Swancourt, for she had seen an almost imperceptible fall of countenance in her stepdaughter at Knight's announcement.

She even thought of making up a house party, but here her interest and energy flagged, and she left the execution of that project till next day. Then she relapsed into her regretful discontented mood.
"What makes you wear such a happy face?" said he, with an expression half envious, half regretful. "I don't know!" said Fleda innocently. "You, I suppose." He looked as bright as she did, for a minute. "Were you ever angry, Elfie?" "I don't know " said Fleda. "I don't know but I have." He smiled to see that although evidently her memory could not bring the charge, her modesty would not deny it.
Mebby me an' you have got cravin's fer betterment in common betwixt us but hit 'pears like thar's always one diff'rence risin' up thet balks everything else." Even the peppery Opdyke did not venture to break heatedly in on the pause that followed those regretful words.
