"You needn't say another word," interrupted Zoie, and then with a shade of genuine repentance, she declared shame-facedly that she hadn't been "much of a wife" to Alfred. "Nonsense!" contradicted the proud young father, "you've given me the ONE thing that I wanted most in the world."
There was a moment's silence. "We wanted to show him we were just as good as the folks he knew," explained the eldest, somewhat shame-facedly. The blacksmith straightened himself. "Quite right, too," said he. "We air, when you come to that." A little pride is a wonderful tonic. Each unit of that gathering felt himself the better for the display of it.
And the man of morals, confronted by a moral situation, is usually wholly without honour. Put him on the stand to testify against a woman, and he will tell all he knows about her, even including what he has learned in the purple privacy of her boudoir. More, he will not tell it reluctantly, shame-facedly, apologetically, but proudly and willingly, in response to his high sense of moral duty.
Miss Alathea shyly smiled smiled, indeed, a bit shame-facedly. "There's one condition, Colonel that you take me along yes, to watch over you." "Take you with me?" said the Colonel. He paused in puzzled contemplation of her for an instant. "Oh, I catch on. You'll go with the children to see the animals!" He laughed. "You rather like it." He became enthusiastic. "No more knot-holes or trees for us!
I wuz scared to tell ye I had yer baby an' ye seemed so sort o' trustin' like. An' ut bein' Chris'mus an' all." When he steadfastly refused to promise to return, Muriel announced that they would visit The Hopper late in the afternoon and bring Billie along to express their thanks more formally. "I'll be glad to see ye," replied The Hopper, though a little doubtfully and shame-facedly.
So, "Yeh, I like the ol' barn all right," he confessed. Encouraged, his father went on: "Yesterday the kid was standing out there on the bluff-edge breathing like a whale, weren't you, Giddy? And when I asked him what he was puffing about he said he liked the smell of the sulphur and chemicals and stuff from the paper mills, didn't you, kid?" Shame-facedly, "Yeh," said Giddy.
They parted; and it was quite true, for after looking rather shame-facedly the one at the other, the ensign bore off his arums to the mess-room, and the lotuses were sent on board the "Startler" by the very next boat.
"And you have not seen Spurling go by the Point?" asked Strangeways. "No." He said it quite ordinarily, as if he were answering a commonplace. Then he realised that he had been caught in a trap and had not manifested enough surprise. He slowly raised up his eyes, shame-facedly, like a schoolboy detected cribbing, when the master steals up behind.
Neither she nor Ted will stand any interference from me. We are a cranky lot I am afraid. We all have what Dad used to call the family devil. So far as I know you are the only person on record that can manage him." And Larry smiled rather shame-facedly at his uncle. "I am afraid you will all three have to learn to manage your own particular familiar. Devils are rather personal property, Larry."
"We knew that your daring expedition had succeeded, but we feared that your party would never be able to reach the fort again." "We are here, however, thanks to the assistance of somebody," said Henry, "and nobody is hurt badly except Tom Wilmore there." "An' I ain't hurt so bad, neither," said Tom shame-facedly.
