He was as proud of the sonsy house as Gourlay himself, if for a different reason, and he used to boast of it to his comrades. And he never left it, then or after, without a foreboding. As he crept along the School Road with a rueful face, he was alone, for Janet, who was cleverer than he, was always earlier at school. The absence of children in the sunny street lent to his depression.
Still kneeling, he kissed her hand with rueful timidity, and said, in most pathetic accents, 'Do you not love me, Marionetta? 'No, said Marionetta, with a look of cold composure: 'No. Scythrop still looked up incredulously. 'No, I tell you. 'Oh! very well, madam, said Scythrop, rising, 'if that is the case, there are those in the world
"It's all I have had to wear, sir," was the rueful answer, as, rising, he took the garment from the arm of his chair and laid it upon the table, with the yellow lining of the cape thrown back, exposing a rent or gash, whereupon Captain Sumter arose, took from an envelope a sliver of yellow cloth, and fitted it into the gap.
"I thought you had come home for good." There was rueful humour but no bitterness in Blake's smile. "Oh! no; though I'm very fond of it, Sandymere is not my home. It will be Bertram's by and by and he is married. I'm the poor relation and no great credit to the family." Millicent's colour deepened, but she looked at him steadily. "I think that is wrong.
Gilligan will want to undertake such an expedition. I couldn't blame her very much if she didn't," she added, with a rueful little smile, "knowing you girls as she does." "I'll get her!" cried Laura, and promptly put her words into action. She appeared the next minute, dragging a very much astonished housekeeper after her, and proudly presented her prize to her mother.
'My friend and partner, Mr Venus, gives me to understand, remarked that man of might, addressing him, 'that you are aware of our power over you. Now, when you have took your hat off, we'll go into that pint. Mr Boffin shook it off with one shake, so that it dropped on the floor behind him, and remained in his former attitude with his former rueful look upon him.
Finally, there would be a sudden lull. The old man would shrug his shoulders, and remarking that he and his wife and his aged grandmother must go without bread that day since it was the Signora's will, take the money offered and depart, leaving such a mass of flowers behind him that Katy would begin to think that they had paid an unfair price for them and to feel a little rueful, till she observed that the old man was absolutely dancing downstairs with rapture over the good bargain he had made, and that Maria was black with indignation over the extravagance of her ladies!
"Without Cherry!" her father said with a rueful smile. "Without Cherry!" Peter echoed, looking at her gravely. It was then that Cherry saw in Peter's expression something that she did not forget for many, many months never quite forgot. He wore a rough tramping costume to-day, a Sunday, and he was halfway up the porch steps, ready to carry bags to the waiting motor car.
"You will not try to go down to breakfast, Kathie," she remarked, as she completed her toilet, and the bell began to ring just at that moment. "No, I think I will keep out of sight to-day. I do not wish to answer questions. Besides, I haven't anything here suitable to put on." and she bestowed a rueful look upon her pretty evening dress, all crumpled and burned, that lay over the back of a chair.
Your mother doesn't know you're here?" "No, sir, I suppose not. Do you think it will distress her?" "How did your sisters take it?" Dan gave a rueful laugh. "It seemed to be rather a popular move with them." "I will see your mother first," said the father. He left them when they went into the library after supper, and a little later Dan and Eunice left Boardman in charge of Minnie there.
