"That is derision, I suppose," he remarked restively. She glanced up again. "At all events," she said, "there is nothing to laugh at in Lucia Gaston. Will you ask Lady Theobald? I want you to ask her to let Lucia Gaston come and play croquet with us on Tuesday. She is to play with you against Mr. Poppleton and me." "Who is Mr. Poppleton?" he asked, with some reserve.
Grady as he clapped a hand on Stuart's shoulder. "The thing is a hit and for once I've got a piece that I can take into town without tearing it to pieces and doing it over." Yet in his room afterward he paced the floor restively for a long while before he sought his bed. He was balancing up the sheets of his life to date.
"We know now the ploughs are not ahead of us, for the cut is full of sheep and snow. If they are behind us we are in grave danger. They may strike us at any moment that means, do you understand? death. We can't go back now; there's too much snow even if the track were clear. To stay here means to freeze to death." She turned restively from him.
For the first time he gave definite shape to a reflection that for hours had been trying to catch his attention, and from which he had restively turned.

The patient knit his hands under his head and lay motionless and silent. "Yes," he said, after a time. And by and by again: "Yes; I feared as much.

It's all very well for you to turn yourself into an angel of mercy and give cups of cold water, and bandage up broken heads, and all that. Perhaps YOU can forget Jamie that way; but I couldn't.
"Celia," he asked at last, "do you think she she had any feeling about him?" "Oh," cried his wife restively, "how should I know?" "I didn't suppose you knew," he pleaded. "I asked if you thought so." "What would be the use of thinking anything about it? The matter can't be helped now. If you inferred from anything she said to you "
"It's very good, Alma," she said. Colonel Woodburn remained restively on his side of the table. "Of course, Mr. Fulkerson, you were jesting, sir, when you spoke of printing a sketch of my daughter." "Why, I don't know If you object ? "I do, sir decidedly," said the Colonel. "Then that settles it, of course, I only meant " "Indeed it doesn't!" cried the girl. "Who's to know who it's from?
Some one else was beyond, too, in the stables, for that very instant he saw a black horse backed restively into sight, its tossing head evading the hands that were trying to bridle it.
