One day, as he was going up Castle Gate, he met Miriam. He had seen her on the Sunday, and had not expected to meet her in town. She was walking with a rather striking woman, blonde, with a sullen expression, and a defiant carriage. It was strange how Miriam, in her bowed, meditative bearing, looked dwarfed beside this woman with the handsome shoulders. Miriam watched Paul searchingly.
He looked at her searchingly as she came down to him, then without a word he took her in his arms and kissed her white face. She saw that he was moved, and wondered within herself at her own utter lack of emotion. Ever since she had lain against Bill Warden's breast, the wild sweet rapture of his hold had seemed to paralyze in her all other feeling.
And all these wishes I wish I may get. There, now I'll go in." He went slowly back to the house, puffing away at his pipe, and directly after encountered his red-faced daughter, who looked ruddier than ever as the old man looked at her searchingly, chuckling to himself the while. "I'll give her such a scare," he said. "Want me, father?" "Want you? Of course I do. Go and call Dick."
He looked long and searchingly into the face of the girl who had just hurt him so cruelly. "I I think I'd better go now. I hope you'll find all the happiness in your work that you expect to find. I'm only sorry it had to come first. I don't know when I'll see you again. Not until next summer, I suppose. I can't come to Oakdale for Easter this year.
She looked searchingly into her husband's face. She was very far from indifferent to his altered tone. "Henry," she said, "that sounds very terrible, but why do you run such risks unworthily?
Hadassah pressed her dark head against his coat-sleeve. He held her closely; each day she was more precious in his sight. "They are worthy of each other." His voice broke. "Really, when one sees such happiness, one says to oneself, even if they have only a fortnight together, it is a great deal, a wonderful thing." Hadassah looked at her husband searchingly.
Help me to declare honestly that I know of circumstances which justify me; and I may insist to some purpose." Miss Jethro lifted her veil for the first time, and eyed him searchingly. "I believe I can trust you," she said. "Now listen! The one consideration on which I consent to open my lips, is consideration for Miss Emily's tranquillity. Promise me absolute secrecy, on your word of honor."
With a sob of relief she realised that it was the voice of her fellow-traveller. He was here, close to her, something alive and human in the midst of this nightmare of awful, unspeakable fear, and she clung to him, shuddering. "Speak, can't you?" His utterance sounded hoarse and distorted. "You're hurt ?" And she felt his hands slide searchingly along her limbs, feeling and groping. "No no."
She looked him searchingly in the face, then glanced with renewed distrust at Mrs. Crayford. There was a moment of silence. Before any of the three could speak again, they were interrupted by the appearance of one of Crayford's brother officers, followed by two sailors carrying a hamper between them.
Sigismund and Gertrude returned to the ordinary world just as Mrs. Milton- Cleave was saying good-bye to the hostess. She glanced at them searchingly. "Good-bye, Gertrude," she said a little coldly. "Did you win at tennis?" "Indeed we did," said Gertrude, smiling. "We came off with flying colours. It was a love set."
