No marvel that even her husband's clasp could not remove the look of heart-broken, speechless suffering which settled stonily down in Ursula's face, as she watched her boy storming about, furious with uncontrollable passion and pain. At last, mother-like, she forgot the passion in pity of the pain. "He is not strong yet; he will do himself harm. Let me go to him! John, let me!"
He was staring stonily out into the plains. Ruth's cheeks reddened, for she felt that she knew his thoughts. But still, Randerson hadn't really used him ill at the river, and besides, he had apologized, and it seemed to her that that should end the incident. Also, she still felt rather resentful toward Masten for his attitude toward Tom Chavis after she had complained.
It was a moment of anguish, of excitement; they arrived at the dock in the evening and Flora after "making her father comfortable" according to established usage lingered in the state-room long enough to notice that he was surprised. She caught his pale eyes observing her quite stonily. Then she went out after a cheery good-night. Contrary to her hopes she found Anthony yet in the saloon.
Young as he was, he knew his England well enough to know the reception that awaited him at Lewes. He could see them about him, that cluster of Army officers, as he told his story stonily incredulous, grimly silent, some sniggering, others jeering openly. The boy's head had been turned by his first brush! You'd only to look at him to see his sort the romantic sort, commonly called liars!
Suppose that a man when drunk commits a crime and then disappears; suppose he leaves behind him a bad record and an enormous fortune; suppose then he reforms and becomes a useful citizen, and everything is buried." Doctor David listened stonily. Gregory lowered his voice. "Suppose there's a woman mixed up in that situation. Not guiltily, but there's a lot of talk.
Outside, she sat down on a log and remained stonily oblivious as Sucatash hastily caught up several horses and dragged saddles and alforjas into position. The westering sun was getting low along the rim of the crater and he worked fast with the knowledge that night would soon be upon them. Inside the cabin he heard De Launay moving about.
When a woman accepted a man's love she accepted many responsibilities. Phyllis stonily denied acceptance. "I've refused it. You've asked me to marry you and I told you I wouldn't. And I won't." "You're mixing up two things," he said, with a smile. "Love and marriage. Many people love and don't marry, just as many marry and don't love.
She gathered her strength and rose. "You came upon me at an unlucky moment," she said. "Please forget it." He still stared at her stonily without moving or speaking. Something that was almost fear gripped her. The very stillness of the man was in a fashion intimidating. She stood before him, erect, and at least outwardly calm. "May I have my letter?" she said.
Aunt Lavinia's likeness, staring stonily and paintily from the wall, seemed to regard him with disapproval, almost as if she were reading his thoughts. If the portrait could have spoken he might have expected it to say: "Here is the person upon whom all these, my worldly possessions, have been bestowed, and he does not appreciate them.
She started bolt upright on the sofa, the feminine ever on the defensive. "Yes," said Septimus quickly. "Don't you see? If you will go through the form of marriage with me oh, just the form, you know and we both disappear abroad somewhere for a year I in one place and you in another, if you like then we can come back to Zora, nominally married, and and " "And what?" asked Emmy, stonily.
