Philip Dunboyne's letters; and Miss Helena was to say nothing of that unlucky slip of the tongue, relating to her mother, which she had discovered to be a serious act of self-betrayal thanks to my confusion at the time.
Their looks met, and she trusted her self-betrayal to him without any attempt at excuse or explanation. "I will send Hubbard up to help you down," said Halleck. "Well," she answered, sadly. He clambered down the side of the bluff, and Bartley started to his feet in guilty alarm when he saw him approach. "What's the matter?" "Nothing. But I think you had better help Mrs. Hubbard down the bluff."
Then added, with a yearning accent, "I wish I were older or had more experience. I should not feel so helpless. But the gratitude I owe him will give me strength when I need it most. Only I wish the suffering might be mine rather than his." Unconscious of any self-betrayal, she lifted her eyes, startling Sweetwater by the beauty of her look.
But before they jabbed him into movement with the muzzles of their weapons, Dalgard located at last the source of that disturbing mental touch, not only located it, but in some manner broke through the existing barrier between the strange mind and his and communicated as clearly with it as he might have with Sssuri. And the excitement of his discovery almost led to self-betrayal! Terran!
Monsieur de Caylus, with a suppressed exclamation that sounded like a curse, rent his glove right in two, and then, as if annoyed at the self-betrayal, crushed up the fragments in his hand, and laughed uneasily. "All women are alike," he said, with an impatient shrug. "They know nothing of the world, and place no faith in those who are competent to advise them.
He turned the ghastly thing until it lay face-upward in his hands, and so at last he saw it. He caught his breath, and only the horn- rimmed spectacles, that he had cursed twice that night, saved him from self-betrayal. The cavern seemed to sway, but he recovered and his wits worked swiftly. If Yasmini detected his nervousness she gave no sign. "Throw it! Throw it! Throw it!"
For a moment at least, the fact that Nick already had discovered nearly every detail of her infamous crime though committed only a few hours before almost completely unnerved her, and her changing countenance, her irrepressible outbreak, and the violent agitation of her lithe, nervous figure, were tokens of self-betrayal by no means unobserved by Nick.
Crevel, a tradesman and shopkeeper to the backbone, though a mayor of Paris, unluckily, was a little slower to move than his rival partner, and this enabled the Baron to read at a glance Crevel's involuntary self-betrayal. This was a fresh arrow to rankle in the very amorous old man's heart, and he resolved to have an explanation from Valerie.
Cruel!" cried Harley, with inexpressible tenderness of reproach in his soft tones. Violante could not trust herself to reply. Ashamed of her self-betrayal, softened yet more by his pleading voice, she could have prayed to the earth to swallow her. At length, checking her tears by an heroic effort, she said, almost calmly, "Noble friend, forgive me.
Beaumaroy had provided himself with plenty: the old man's whim; the access to the old man so willingly allowed, not only to her but to Captain Alec; his own candor carried to the verge of self-betrayal. Oh, he would be full of retorts, supple and dexterous ones! He seemed to feel her glance, for he turned towards her quickly so quickly that she had no time to turn her eyes away.
