Sharp blows ... certain acids ... variation in temperature ... heat and cold.... That's it! That's it!" He turned excitedly to the Queen. "I think we have it! At least it's worth trying. If there is any tubing around...." He stopped as he realized he was talking in English, and resumed stiltedly in Aga's own language.
"I'm sorry," he observed stiltedly, "if I appear ridiculous." But she went on smiling. "Don't you care," she said. "Everybody's ridiculous in March. You're ridiculous, I'm ridiculous, he" she nodded along the corridor "he's plumb ridiculous." He wasn't wholly appeased. It was rather with an air of resignation that he held the door for her to go out by.
I was washing my hands and face on the bank, and the boatmen were fishing with a small hand-net, for our breakfast. Numbers of attenuated melancholy-looking paddy-birds were stalking solemnly and stiltedly along the bank, also fishing for theirs.
She wrote very stiltedly; she said she was sorry to hear that Jimmy was not well, but no doubt he was all right again by this time. She said she was enjoying herself in a quiet way, and very much preferred the country to London.
Christine came running down the stairs to meet him; her eyes were dancing, her face flushed. "Oh, Jimmy!" she said. She looked as if she expected him to kiss her, he thought; after a moment he lightly touched her cheek with his lips. "I'm sorry I couldn't come to lunch," he said stiltedly. "I er I had an engagement. If you care to come out "
It was kind of Sangster to have written, she told herself, even while she knew quite well that Jimmy had not asked him to; it would be the last thing in the world Jimmy would wish. If he were ill, it was not because he wanted her. She drew her little figure up stiffly. "I shan't go unless I hear again that it is serious," she said stiltedly. "Not go!"
For she read very stiltedly, with a strange exotic accent for the love passages or the death scenes. As Lady Victoria Freebooter said, she would have been priceless at a music-hall matinée which was raising funds for war charities, if only she could have been induced to read passages from Miss Yonge in that voice for a quarter of an hour. Even the Queen would have had to laugh.
It was evident that the major spoke thus stiltedly with a design upon the swine driver's intelligent pig, which still manifested its affection for the dog, beside whom it had gone to sleep. The swine driver promised he would take the first opportunity of profiting by such excellent advice.
"I don't think you know quite how successfully you are paying me out," he said. "I would rather not talk about it," she interrupted. "It can do no good. I have done as you asked me; I told you I could do no more, that you must expect nothing more." There was a little silence. "I'm sorry," said Jimmy stiltedly. They lunched together. "I'll get some tickets for a theatre to-night," Jimmy said.
Don't you want to come over and hear it? If I lose, I won't open next Sunday at all; and if I win, then the League can't get an injunction later.... What else can you do?" "We may have other cards up our sleeves," said Mr. Mix, stiltedly. "Just the place I'd have looked for 'em," said Henry, but his tone was so gentle and inoffensive that Mr. Mix only stared.
