"You dropped this?" he inquired. Miss Eversham looked surprisedly at Billy and uncertainly at the shawl, which she mechanically accepted. "Why I I didn't remember having it with me," she hesitated. "I noticed you were wearing one other evenings," said Billy, the Artful, "so I thought " "You know whether this is yours or not, don't you, Clara?" interposed the mother.
He lifted his hooded hawk's eyes and looked at Hanson, who in turn looked boldly back at him with something indefinable yet unmistakable, something that was not only defiance, but also a threat in the blaze of his angry eyes. And Gallito caught it and raised his brows ever so slightly, pondering surprisedly for a moment, and then resolutely putting the matter aside for the present.
The Beautiful Wicked Witch poised on her toes, surprisedly looking into the reflection of her own eyes. "Some one has come in, for that was the door," she said. "It opens inward with music." Eric's heart stood still. Had Ivra come into the Witch's house, Ivra who was so afraid of the Witch? He ran down the stairs and the Witch followed him.
His usually rough voice seemed to sound different. "We were lonesome without you," haltingly admitted Ondrejko, and presently they sat on the moss carpet at the feet of Bacha. "And why, Bacha, were you sitting here so sadly?" Petrik looked surprisedly at Ondrejko, that he dared to ask. Would not Bacha be angry? "Did you think that I was sad?"
This was a new tone for him to take, and Checkers turned and looked at him surprisedly. "The fact is," he went on, "you ain't got no head for bizness, and it 's providential things hez come round so 's I kin run this place and make what they is to be made out'n it." He looked up as though he expected to be interrogated. "What's your lay?" asked Checkers.
Thal, behind him, said in a quivering voice: "My Lady Fani, I beg you to plead with your father for his most faithful retainer!" The girl looked surprisedly at him. Her eyes fell on Hoddan. She looked interested. Hoddan, at that moment, was very nearly as disgusted and as indignant as a man could be.
"You're very young, after all." "But you may treat me as if I could understand you!" I said; and before he left me to dress for dinner he had virtually given me a promise that he would. When I went down into the drawing-room I was very punctual I found that neither my hostess nor my host had appeared. A lady rose from a sofa, however, and inclined her head as I rather surprisedly gazed at her.
Making an estimate of the total cost, he again referred to his suggestion in regard to a series of similar entertainments later on. "If you find you can afford it," agreed Gertie. "If I can afford it!" he echoed surprisedly. "There's no question of me affording it. Why don't you talk sense? You'll be earning the same good salary after we're spliced as you're earning at the present moment."
"I beg your pardon," he said, "but, finding myself in your vicinity, I dropped in to look up my old friend. I refer to the young girl with whom I used to see you so much Dorothy Glenn." To his utmost surprise, the young girl burst into a flood of tears. "Oh, sir, you can not tell how your words affect me!" she sobbed. "Why?" he asked, surprisedly.
"Do I understand you to say that your hand is the wager?" he asked, surprisedly. "Yes!" she answered. For a moment he looked at her in the utmost astonishment. Then a laugh suffused his fair face. Surely this was the strangest wager that he had ever heard of. He was used to the jolly larks of girls; but surely this was the strangest of them all.
