To Rosemary, trembling and cold, it someway brought a memory of her father's face, in the faded picture. At the thought, she clenched her hands tightly and compressed her lips. So much she had, made hers eternally by a grave. No one could take from her the thrilling sense of kinship with those who had given her life. Edith looked out upon the river.
The man had spoken of her as though she were a possession of his that must be disposed of. He had a personal interest in her marriage. It was in someway not a private matter, but a family affair. It was her father's idea, she gathered, that she was to go into marriage to strengthen what he called his position in the community, to help him be some vague thing he called a big man.
He breathed nothing but revenge against the coward and the traitor, who had delivered up the town in "such lewd and beastly sort." "I will never depart hence," he said, "till by the goodness of God I be satisfied someway of this villain's treachery." There could be little doubt that Hemart deserved punishment. There could be as little that Leicester would mete it out to him in ample measure.
She accented papa and mamma on the last syllable and leaned forward and looked upward like a shirtwaist Madonna. But writing locals someway didn't appeal to her. She wondered if we could use a serial story. And then she went on: "Oh, I have some of the sweetest things in my head! I know I could write them. They just tingle through my blood like wine.
The simple, unexpected thoughtfulness of the deed touched her. It was the natural, instinctive act of a gentleman. She had forgotten the hat. He had not. As she looked at him she felt that, someway, she might have known such a thing was exactly what he would do. "You're welcome," he said quietly, starting to turn away. A spirit of mischief suddenly flared up in her heart.
You see, I always chummed with Dad." "Bless him," said Francesca, impulsively. "Have I done well?" asked the Colonel, anxiously. "It was hard work, alone." "Indeed you have done well. I hear that he is a great artist." "He's more than that he's a man. He's clean and a good shot, and he isn't afraid of anything. Someway, to me, a man who played the fiddle always seemed, well lady-like, you know.
They did it because he married me.... It was I who cheated HIM and you can see what it's cost him.... I've got to make it up to him someway. I I don't hate him.... He's been good.... Oh, he's been wonderfully good." "Do you want to live with him?" "No," she said. "No...." "What about me?... I love you, don't I? Wasn't I before HIM?... Didn't you give yourself to me? What about me?..."

We've someway always felt alike about things." "Yes, that's it; we've liked the same things and we've liked them together, without anybody else knowing.
Someway he seems so very respectful, and yet his eyes laugh." "Well, it's just a few days now before school begins, and what fun we'll have," said Flossie, "and perhaps Arabella will invite her aunt to one of our entertainments; if she does, I'm just sure Uncle Harry would go."
"Nay, you feel then like me!" said Henrik; "with you, sisters, I am ever calm and happy; but I don't know how it is, but now for some time other people often plague and irritate me " "Ah, Henrik," remarked Leonore, "is not that someway your own fault?" "Are you thinking of Stjernhök, Leonore?" asked he. "Yes."
