Her head was resting on his breast and he was stroking the fair young forehead with tender caressing touch. His eyes were dim with tears and his voice could find no words. He turned away from the scene and left them alone for a few moments. He found Nan and asked her to wait for him at the stage door in her automobile until he could give Harriet his congratulations.
"I see," she said. "I understand." She sat for a time with her hands resting in her lap, looking down at the ground. Then she rose. "I don't want to hurt you, Robin," she said soberly. "I can't help looking for a way out, that's all. For myself, I must find a way out. The life I lead now is stifling me and I can't see where it will ever be any different, any better.
"I will obey you in everything reasonable," Jeanne said. "Very well, then," the Princess answered, "go to your room at once." Jeanne turned and walked toward the door. On the threshold, however, she paused. There were many times, she remembered, when her stepmother had been kind to her. She looked around at the Princess, sitting with her head resting upon her clasped hands.
Slimak ran towards the river, and Maciek painfully dragged himself after him. Jendrek overtook him. 'What's up? Where is Stasiek? Maciek stopped and heard a powerful voice calling out: 'That's the way you look after your children, Polish beasts! Then Slimak appeared on the hill, holding Stasiek in his arms. The boy's head was resting on his shoulder, his right arm hung limply.

Rodney sat still and looked at him, resting his chin on his hand; looked into him, through him, beyond him. "I believe I can," he said simply.
The people in that part of France were very ignorant and superstitious, and they had many ghostly tales to tell about what they had dreamed, and what they saw among the lonely hills when the clouds and the mists were resting on them. So, they easily believed that Joan saw strange sights, and they whispered among themselves that angels and spirits talked to her.
He retraced his steps, he called, he did not find them; he reflected that they must already be far away, put the package in his pocket, and went off to dine. On the way, he saw in an alley of the Rue Mouffetard, a child's coffin, covered with a black cloth resting on three chairs, and illuminated by a candle. The two girls of the twilight recurred to his mind. "Poor mothers!" he thought.
Something in her expression arrested Malcolm's attention: he had never seen her look like that before, her lips were pressed tightly together, and her eyes were full of sadness. One hand was resting lightly on the statue, and Malcolm could see the gleam of the opal ring on her finger. He feared to startle her, and yet it was impossible for him to stand there any longer.
The smile faded from his lips, and his gentle blue eyes became troubled. He dropped the hand that had been lightly resting on her arm, and his dapper air of self-confidence wilted in abashment. "Was I was I talking book?" he asked weakly. "I was! Pardon me, Miss Briggs, pardon me, I didn't know it. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
