"I think the seal are getting to be much shyer than they were, and am afraid we shall demonstrate that 'the more haste is the worse speed." "What is that to you?" returned Daggett quickly. "Of course you will sail for home as soon as you can get off." Gardiner did not like the "of course," which was indirectly saying what the other would do himself under similar circumstances.
"Not so well as Merle! I'm shyer, and I daren't speak out, and I'm not much good at games. And oh! Miss Fanny, there's another side of the question. I know Merle so well. If she's made monitress she'll be heart and soul for the school and an enormous help, but she's a queer girl, and if she has no special place here or anything to concentrate her energy on, she may give trouble."
Indeed, the silence and solitariness of the once busy head-station had enticed many of the shyer kinds of birds from the lagoon and the forest. Listening, as he now was, intently, McKeith could hear the gurgling COO-ROO-ROO of the swamp pheasant, which is always found near water and likewise rare sound the silvery ring of the bell-bird rejoicing in the fresh-filled lagoon.
He seems to be crying, 'Where are you, dear? and beseeching her to come. "Though we frequently hear their song in the marsh meadows in autumn, they are shyer then, and keep in flocks. At that season they grow fat, and gunners continually worry them; but I do not think that sportsmen often shoot these song birds. They are chiefly the victims of thoughtless boys or greedy pot-hunters.
She could get closer to these saucy and daring rascals of the nimble feet than their shyer comrades of the forest. Presently in the midst of their antics the squirrels suddenly started, ceased their scolding, and scurried rapidly away. That something had frightened them Jean was certain, and she grew nervous.
Toni, feeling shyer than ever, shook hands with the pretty, grey-eyed girl who approached at the sound of her name; and then turned, with a feeling of genuine relief, to Barry. "Mr. Raymond! I'm so pleased to see you but I'm afraid Owen isn't at home!" "I know that!" He laughed. "He is doing a little work to-day, for a change and my call is really on you!" "Well, won't you sit down?"
Tulkinghorn's office, but he is sure he may make use of Mr. Tulkinghorn's name if necessary." Finding, now she leaves off, that she has been making quite a long speech, Rosa is shyer than ever. Now, Mr. Tulkinghorn is, in a manner, part and parcel of the place, and besides, is supposed to have made Mrs. Rouncewell's will.
'I mean Miss Bradwardine, said Edward. 'Ou aye, the laird's daughter, said his landlady. 'She was a very bonny lassie, poor thing, but far shyer than Lady Flora. 'Where is she, for God's sake? 'Ou, wha kens where ony o' them is now?
Then as she reached the cedared part of the pass Slone was no longer visible. She put Sarchedon to a run up the hard, wind-swept sand, and reached the camp before Slone had climbed down from his perch. Lucy dismounted reluctantly. What would he say about the riding-habit that she wore? She felt very curious to learn, and shyer than ever before, and altogether different.
I thought this all the better for my purpose, and made bold to tap again. They were talking in a low tone, and money was passing; for I heard it being counted out. 'Who is it? asked Brother Hawkyard, sharply. 'George Silverman, I answered, holding the door open. 'May I come in? Both brothers seemed so astounded to see me that I felt shyer than usual.
