The one behind looked like an 'expert. Perhaps he has come to examine the San Luis mine. Some one said they were expecting a man from England." "He looked more like a Frenchman to me." "It may be he is," answered Viola, restrainedly.
But, gentlemen, I think it is plain to all of you that he has changed his religious convictions. As to the causes through which that change has come about, I do not pretend to know. To say the least, the transition is a startling one, one for which some of us were totally unprepared. To speak restrainedly, it was a shock a shock which I shall remember as long as I live.
I could only say, doubtingly and restrainedly "You have something to tell me." My sister, who had been sitting opposite to us, rose suddenly without a word of explanation rose and left the room. My mother moved closer to me on the sofa and put her arms round my neck. Those fond arms trembled the tears flowed fast over the faithful loving face.
Then, coming out in the rich triumph long deferred, he finds another man, of character well known to him, impudently and falsely claiming that he had done it first. Mr. Peary expressed himself, quite restrainedly and correctly, in regard to the effrontery and falsity of this claim and all the country rose up and denounced him as "unsportsmanlike!"
This superb piece of imaginative prose, of which Shorthouse himself might have been proud, is recalled by an answering note in Ryecroft, in which he says, 'I owe many a page to the street-organs. And, where the pathos has to be distilled from dialogue, I doubt if the author of Jack himself could have written anything more restrainedly touching or in a finer taste than this:

Some one sitting next to Hal apparently knew him, and knew her. "My God," he breathed in her ear, "he's magnificent. He's saved her. I wouldn't have missed this for anything. I'm proud to be his friend."
Between Aricia and Bovillae they met several convoys, and about half-way they were overtaken and passed by a rapidly driven carriage, and somewhat tater by a troop of horsemen, trotting restrainedly, one of them on a white horse which showed rather distinctly, even in the fog and darkness.
"Nothing," he answered, bowing to Mercy, with a marked absence of his former ease of manner. She returned the courtesy a little restrainedly on her side. She, too, had seen him start when Lady Janet mentioned the name by which she was known. The start meant something. What could it be?
The sudden, impetuous questions come from Leslie Goldthwaite. "I see what I see." "The whole?" said Leslie, more restrainedly. She remembered her respect for age and office. Yet she felt sorely tempted, shy, proud girl as she was, to take up cudgels for her friends, at least. Mr. Wharne liked her the better for that.
I understood why the sweet sensitive lips smiled so rarely and so restrainedly now, and why the clear blue eyes looked at me, sometimes with the pity of an angel, sometimes with the innocent perplexity of a child. But the change meant more than this.
