"I mean nothing against you," he urged, with great ruefulness. "I suggest nothing. I bring the Governor's message, that is all. And let me say," he added, "that I have not thought you a spy, nor ever shall think so." I was trembling with anger still, and I was glad that at the moment Gabord opened the door, and stood waiting. "You will not part with me in peace, then?" asked the Seigneur slowly.
'I thought you were asleep. 'How did the music go? 'Capitally. Both the songs repeated. The overture and the second entr'acte would have been redemanded at a concert, but of course the play was the thing. Such a success, Stretton! Such a furore! She is a little goddess, a queen. You should see her and hear her! Ah me! with a comic ruefulness 'Holt should be a happy man.
Speech of Dubois Crance, Sept. 22, 1794. Amazed to find themselves the objects of a tyranny they had hitherto contributed to support, and sharing the misfortune of their Lords and Clergy, these ignorant and mistaken people wander up and down with a vacant sort of ruefulness, which seems to bespeak that they are far from comprehending or being satisfied with this new specimen of republicanism.
Lucas, since his one unlucky outburst, had said never a word but stood looking on with a ruefulness of visage that it warmed the cockles of my heart to see. Certes, he was in no very pleasant corner, this dear M. Paul. His mistress had heard his own lips describe his plot against the St. Quentins; there was no possibility of lying himself clear of it.
How you must be suffering! You look quite pale. But it isn't any good suffering. I learned that." Her eyes lighted on the table, and a faint ruefulness came into them, as if she were going to ask Gyp to eat the oysters. Gyp bent forward and put her lips to the girl's forehead. "Good-bye. My baby would thank you if she knew." And she turned to go. She heard a sob.
"There is one thing about that young man," said Mrs. Morres, who was chary of praise of her Ladyship's party: "he has excellent common-sense, and I thank Heaven for it." "Ah, yes; he has excellent common-sense," Lady Agatha echoed, with a ruefulness which made Mary laugh suddenly. "You ought to marry him, my dear," Mrs. Morres went on, looping another stitch of the endless crochet.
The Embassy servant came briskly to him, rubbing his hands after having put a moderately heavy case of documents on top of the waiting pile. "That Hoddan," said the plainclothesman, attempting hearty ruefulness, "he certainly put it over on us last night!" The servant nodded.
"It is rough upon me that!" he said, bitterly. "Oh, Grace I did not know you tried to get rid of me! I suppose it is of no use, but I ask, cannot you hope to find a little love in your heart for me again?" "If I could I would oblige you; but I fear I cannot!" she replied, with illogical ruefulness.
But they could not get away from a certain ruefulness for that time, and in the evening Fulkerson came round to March's to say that he had got Lindau's address from Conrad, and had looked him up at his lodgings. "Well, there isn't so much bric-a-brac there, quite, as Mrs. Green left you; but I've made it all right with Lindau, as far as I'm concerned.
He gave a short laugh. "Between Mother begrudging the poor chap every cent he spent for batteries and wire, and me pitching into him for forgetting to chop the kindlings, I'm afraid his early wireless career wasn't a very pleasant one." Once more the lad laughed, this time with comic ruefulness.
