Christophe grew accustomed to confiding his love to Ernest, though always shyly and reservedly. Ernest's discretion reassured him. He let him know his uneasiness about Ada: but he never blamed her: he blamed himself: and with tears in his eyes he would declare that he could not live if he were to lose her. He did not forget to tell Ada about Ernest: he praised his wit and his good looks.
"An awful death for such a man, Clara!" he said at last in a low tone. She dared not look up she was trembling nervously. How dreadful it was, she thought, to be thankful that a man was dead! to feel a relief at his being no longer in this world! Presently her husband spoke again more reservedly. "No doubt you are greatly shocked and grieved," he said.
"A Philistine?" repeated Mr. Wentworth. "I mean, as one may say, a plain, God-fearing man." Mr. Wentworth looked at him reservedly, like a mystified sage, and Felix continued, "I trust I shall enjoy a venerable and venerated old age. I mean to live long. I can hardly call that a plan, perhaps; but it 's a keen desire a rosy vision. I shall be a lively, perhaps even a frivolous old man!"
"So I'm told," said Maril reservedly. "Are there any more humiliating questions you want to ask?" He gaped at her. Then he said ruefully, "I'm stupid, Maril, but you're touchy. There's nothing personal " "There is to me!" she said fiercely. "I was born among blueskins, and they're of my blood, and they're hated and I'd have been killed on Weald if I'd been known as ... what I am!
"I might offer my services in that capacity myself," observed Owen, reservedly. "I'm sure I don't know," returned Mrs. Butler, smiling, and at the same time chewing a lusty mouthful. "You'll have to ast 'em, my sons." Aileen still persisted. She did not want to go. It was too sudden. It was this. It was that. Just then old Butler came in and took his seat at the head of the table.
In vain for he is two hours behind the dinner-bell Mr. Burley, the butler, bows and offers him viands and wine. How can he eat, with the phantom of Rose there, covering her head, shuddering, loathing him? But he must appear in company: he has a coat, if he has not a skin. Let him button it, and march boldly. Our comedies are frequently youth's tragedies. We will smile reservedly as we mark Mr.
Spardek, of Manchester, bowed reservedly and asked our permission to keep on his tall, wide-brimmed hat. He was a dry, cold man, tall and thin. He ate in pious sadness, enormously. "Monsieur Bielowsky," said M. Le Mesge, introducing us to the second guest. "Count Casimir Bielowsky, Hetman of Jitomir," the latter corrected with perfect good humor as he stood up to shake hands.
"Well," assented Orde reservedly, "in that case I'm foreman on this drive because my outfit went kerplunk two years ago, and I'm making a fresh go at it." "Failed?" inquired Newmark. "Partner skedaddled," replied Orde. "Now, if you're satisfied with my family history, suppose you tell me what the devil you're driving at."
" You had better decided, Charlie," she said, reservedly. " I guess we had better go, if you can break that engagement upstairs," said Drouet. " Oh, I can," returned Carrie without thinking. Drouet selected writing paper while Carrie went to change her dress. She hardly explained to herself why this latest invitation appealed to her most.
The girl had meant well by her husband in sending for his wife, that was certain; and she did not look bad. She was too sedately and reservedly dressed, in spite of her auriferous face and head and her burnished tone, to be bad; too fearless in eye, too concentrated to be the rover in fields where she had no tenure or right.
