Seated in one of the large easy-chairs of the reception-room, in a corner with two of O'Connor's men standing watchfully near, was a man who was the embodiment of all that was nervous. He was alternately wringing his hands and rumpling his hair.
A slight sound is heard behind the tapestry forming the portière, and Angela calls, "Is it you, Mirette? what do you wish?" "Madame, I am coming with the flowers and will arrange them in the stand." "She hears us!" said Angela, making a mysterious signal to the mulatto; then she amuses herself laughing madly at and rumpling her lover's hair.
We don't print his opinions, and he has a perfect right to hold them, whether Mr. Dryfoos agrees with them or not." Mrs. March had judged it decorous for her to say nothing, but she now went and sat down in the chair next her husband. "Ah, dog on it!" cried Fulkerson, rumpling his hair with both his hands. "What am I to do? The old man says he's got to go."
And where did you put it?" I wondered. "Exactly: where did I put it?" repeated The Author, rumpling his hair with both hands. "That's what I want to know, myself. I've looked everywhere in my room, and in Johnson's, and I can't find the thing. It's gone," and he stalked out, with his shoulders hunched to his ears. I sat still, staring out at the window.
The whispered word was scarcely audible, but it was enough; I doubted no longer. "This is a net for bird snaring," I said. "What strange bird are you seeking Karamaneh?" With a passionate gesture Karamaneh snatched off the veil, and with it the ugly black hat. The cloud of wonderful, intractable hair came rumpling about her face, and her glorious eyes blazed out upon me.
Mr. Fernald's scowl vanished and he laughed. "What a young wheedler you are!" observed he, playfully rumpling up his son's fair hair. "You could coax every cent I have away from me if I did not lock my money up in the bank. I really think, though, that a telephone here in the hut would be an excellent idea. But what I don't see is why you don't do the job yourselves."
Hannah hated rain as much as a cat does so she made no trouble, and they rolled away in the luxurious close carriage, feeling very festive and elegant. Laurie went on the box so Meg could keep her foot up, and the girls talked over their party in freedom. "I had a capital time. Did you?" asked Jo, rumpling up her hair, and making herself comfortable. "Yes, till I hurt myself.
"Do you know," he said, rumpling his black hair, "that I think DeWitt has decided that I will bear watching!" "Well," answered Rhoda idly, "and won't you?" Kut-le chuckled. "Would you prefer that I show the lurking savage beneath this false shell of good manners?" Rhoda smiled back at him. "Of course you are an Indian, after all. It's rather too bad of you not to live up to any of our ideals.
"I fail to understand," remarked the burglar, "how all this prolix account of your amours can possibly concern me." "You are at least somewhat involved in the deplorable climax," Mr. Sheridan returned. "For behold! at two in the morning I discover the object of my adoration and the daughter of an estimable prelate, most calumniously clad and busily employed in rumpling my supply of cravats.
"Well, it won't be your fault," said Prudence. "You haven't broken your word intentionally." But the captain paid no heed. He was staring wild-eyed into vacancy and rumpling his grey hair until it stood at all angles. His face reflected varying emotions. "Somebody has got it," he said again. "Whoever it is will get no good by it," said Miss Drewitt, who had had a pious upbringing.
