The youth and the maid were both there for a purpose altogether removed from love-making the meeting had the advantage of being accidental and certain. It was a tacit assignation which was almost certain to be kept, and even the shyest of sweethearts would dare to walk homewards together a little of the way even in the lightest of summer evenings.
'I hope not, said Mrs. Edmonstone. 'Is she really a lady? 'Philip commonly calls her "that woman," said Charles. 'He has never got over her one night classing him with his "young man" and myself, as three of the shyest monkeys she ever came across. 'She won't say so of Maurice, said Laura, as they recovered the laugh.
I put out my hand for the tankard, running the risk of my big paw's betraying me, resolved that he should not drink with me of that draught, when of a sudden he leaned over to snatch a kiss. I dodged him, more frightened than the shyest maid. Though in this half-light I might perfectly look a girl, I could not believe I should kiss like one. In a panic, I fled from Jean to my master's side.
The shyest of men shy and proud as only an Englishman can be he could not make up his mind to walk directly up to Kitty, as an American would do, as all the young Americans in the room would have done if Kitty had let them.
Forester, with her usual tact, had asked her to arrange some of the games for the younger children, so that she might feel that she was being useful a feeling which gives confidence to the shyest of girls. The doctor had ordered her a new white frock for the occasion, with stockings and shoes to match.
Early in February Maulevrier sent decorators and upholsterers into the old house in Curzon Street, which was ready before the middle of May to receive his lordship and his young wife, the girlish daughter of a Florentine nobleman, a gazelle-eyed Italian, with a voice whose every tone was music, and with the gentlest, shyest, most engaging manners of any girl in Florence.
Gresley, as if she would have bitten a piece out of her. "I think, Fräulein, it is the children's lesson-time," said Mr. Gresley, majestically. Who could have imagined that unobtrusive, submissive Fräulein, gentlest and shyest of women, would put herself forward in this aggressive manner. The truth is, it is all very well to talk, you never can tell what people will do.
This being so, the further questions arise as to whether it contributes towards the attainment of the end for which the whole territorial system has been built up, and what precisely is the way in which it does so. Everyone knows that in the spring the shyest of birds no longer practise the art of concealment.
Lady Mary smiled very sweetly, and gave me the swiftest and shyest of glances across the table from her speaking eyes, which next instant were hidden from me. "May be," she said, "the lawyer could answer that question." "Troth," I said, springing to my feet, "I know a better one to ask it of than any old curmudgeon poring over dry law-books, and the answer I'm going to have from your own lips."
In the course of the week I ran over to Pau, to pass a day with the Winchfields, who had a villa there. He was intelligent and amiable, but the shyest of shy men. He avoided general society, frightened away perhaps by the British Mamma, and spent a good part of each year abroad, wandering rather listlessly from town to town.
