At first he noticed Marina or Nina, as I soon saw I must call her with the same unconcern; for in her grandmother's hood and jacket and check apron, with her head held shamefacedly downward, she looked exactly like the old woman. I thought I would have Nina make her self-sacrifice rebelliously, as a girl like her would be apt to do, and follow the cokecart with tears.
Yet the remark, somehow, had had an illuminating effect like a flashlight, revealing to him the isolation of the Church as never before. And after dinner, as they were going to the smoking-room, the offender accosted him shamefacedly. "I'm awfully sorry, Mr. Holder," he stammered. That the tall rector's regard was kindly did not relieve his discomfort. Hodder laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Well, I suppose I may kiss his hand," interposed Aunt Hannah, just a little curtly, "without subjecting myself to a City Hospital treatment!" Billy laughed shamefacedly, but she still held her ground. "No, you can't nor even his foot. He might get them in his mouth.
"Quite the softest voice in the world," thought Spencer. On one of these visits late in October, Edith had found her father ailing from a cold. He asked her, shamefacedly, to tell her mother that "he was very bad." Mrs. Stuart, leaving the house-party in full go, started at once for the town-house. Old Stuart had purposely stayed at home on the chances that his wife would relent.
Besides, he was a boy, so he should have stood his ground to protect you girls, whatever the danger was. You know that, Carl, don't you?" "I s'pose so," growled Carl shamefacedly. "Very well. This is to be your punishment. To-night you'll sit on Mr. Hezekiah Pollock's tombstone in the graveyard alone, until twelve o'clock." Carl gave a little shudder.
He looked round with an eye always ready with the tear of sympathy; for he was a soft-hearted man. Then he looked at Marie again, shamefacedly. But she, divining his thoughts, shrugged her shoulders. "Ah, bah!" she said, "one must take the world as it is. And Monsieur le Marquis is only a man. One sees that, when he announces his return on washing-day, and brings a guest.
A telegram sent to Ferris Stanhope's last known address, Camp Skagway in the Adirondacks, was unanswered up to the hour of going to press." Peter let the paper drop upon his knees, and whistled father shamefacedly. Here was a pretty kettle of fish indeed, and it was all of his brewing.
"I don't expect you to understand," interrupted Emma McChesney a little wearily. "I know it sounds crazy and unreasonable. There's only one sort of human being who could understand what I mean. That's a woman with a son." She laughed a little shamefacedly. "I'm talking like the chorus of a minor-wail sob song, but it's the truth." "If you feel like that, Emma, tell him to stay.
She pointed to the scattered fragments of the letter. "He had that in his pocket when he fell," she said, "He thought that I had read it. If I had been your wife, and you had thought so, would you have thought that I was worth trying to save as he tried to save me?" "What!" he exclaimed, shamefacedly. "Has he seen it?"
Manella!" he exclaimed "I thought you were too busy to come!" She hung her head a little shamefacedly. "I HAD to come" she answered "There was no one else ready to bring this for you." She held out a telegram. He opened and read it. It was very brief "Shall be with you to-morrow. Gwent." He folded it and put it in his pocket. Then he turned to Manella, smiling.
