But thar hain't no use tryin' ter hold a feller when he wants ter quit. Ye don't 'low ter go right away, do ye?" "I hain't plumb made up my mind ter go at all," said the boy, shamefacedly. "But, ef I does go, I hain't a-goin' yit. I hain't spoke ter nobody but you about hit yit."
On the contrary, she placed him under still further obligations to her by presenting him with the "makings" of a jacket, which Jem accepted shamefacedly, but still gratefully enough, quite forgetting the dignified resolution he had confided to David, to decline all further favours from her with thanks.
Harry was the first to notice that Norah was falling "into the distance," as he put it, and he ran back to her immediately. "Poor old kid!" he said shamefacedly. "I'd no idea you were having such a beast of a time. Sorry, Norah!" His polite regrets were cut short by Norah's catching her foot in a creeper and falling bodily upon him. "Thank you," said Harry, catching her deftly.
"I was just tickled to see you hadn't changed a hair. Now if you'd only moralize on square pegs in round holes, I'd hear again the birds singing in the elms by the dear old churchyard." Welton grinned, a trifle shamefacedly. Nevertheless he went on with the development of his philosophy. "Well," he asserted stoutly, "that's just what Bob was when I got there.
I went next morning while the dew was on the grass: there they lay the little fingers sticking out damp and thin. I see them now! I picked them up, and then " "Well?"

The scientific part is urging me to find some way to get that slab either down or open. The human part is just as strongly urging me to do nothing of the sort and get away while I can! "He laughed again shamefacedly.
The children looked at each other shamefacedly, and almost in fear, for they thought the little old lady must be mad. As for her, she again looked the picture of woe. "O dear," she said, "is it possible that none of you have ever even heard of me! Surely one of my stories must have found its way to your house?" "Do you write stories?" Janet asked.
So he went very shamefacedly to his host and told him that be must he leaving: "Well, good-bye, are you sure you only came to pay us a visit and had no other object?" The Raja seized the opening that this reply gave him and said "Yes, I had something in my mind; we are so poor now that we have not even a brass cup to drink out of, and I hoped that you would give me one of yours."
Bingle himself grinned shamefacedly through his tears and choked up so that the words would not come without being resolutely forced through a tightened throat, the sympathetic audience, including Mrs. Bingle and Melissa and on one occasion an ancient maiden from the floor above wept copiously and with the most flattering clamour.
