Forgive her, father, she went on contemptuously, 'if either of you will feel better for it, and don't detain her. We are going back East in a few days, anyway.
'Deliberately is the right word, said Howard. 'And I can't quite understand what makes you seek to discourage him and pack him off to the East again. Carr was silent. Sanchia's eyes, very bright, grew brighter with a keen look of understanding. Very innocently she spoke. 'Are you thinking of going East, too, Mr. Carr? she asked. 'Yes, snapped Carr. 'I am. What of it?
Helen's eyes were dancing, Longstreet imagined with newly inspired interest, Alan knew with the light of battle; Sanchia's eyes were angry. The girl had stated her plan of campaign as though in so many words. If time came when Longstreet had a second golden secret to tell, she meant to hear it and to have Alan hear it at least not an instant later than Mrs.
He knew that look he would see in Sanchia's eyes when again they met; he prayed that the time might come when he could come close enough to Jim Courtot to read and answer his look. He thought of Kish Taka, and for the first time with anger; Kish Taka should keep his hands off. The Shadow
For a long time, you see, I couldn't but now I feel that I can. We were all brought up to go to church." "So was I," said Lady Maria, "and that, I take it, is why I don't go now. I was taught to take it as physic." Sanchia's explanation, which she yielded on pressure, of why she had stopped, was very artless.

He'll amuse you. I'll introduce him." Sanchia followed the leading of his eyes.

'Alan is rather hard on me, I think, she said quite simply as she turned her eyes upon the three at the cabin door.

Helen, though her own cheeks burned, smiled loftily and made no answer. From beyond the closed door came Alan's eager voice.
To him belonged Pippa and Sancie, Melot and Vicky. If he had a nearer passion, it was to stand well with all the world. That's two passions, however, to his score; and the struggle between them, in Sanchia's case, had taken him as near tragedy as the easy man could go.
