He had never dreamed she could be like this, so tantalizingly close to familiarity, and yet so maddeningly aloof and distant. He grew bolder in his speech. "How are things going with us?" she questioned, as his warmth grew pronounced. "Uncle won't talk and Mr. McNamara is as close-mouthed as can be, lately." He looked at her quickly. "In what respect?"
"The two I heard talking are juniors. I don't know who else is in it. They'll be very much astonished to find us 'waiting at the church' Omnibus House, I mean," said Julia, "and I imagine they'll feel rather silly, too." "Tell us who they are, Julia," said Grace. "We don't want to go into this blindfolded." "Wait and see," replied Julia tantalizingly.
Up to this moment Garth had been playing a dispassionate game; but he returned to his loophole conscious of a great surge of cold rage against those below. He yearned to get even; but he could wait for it. Mabyn exposed his hat tantalizingly; Grylls shot out a foot, or bobbed up his head but Garth saved his bullets. He would not even try to pierce the sharpshooters' defenses again.
He records in his diary that on August 17th a good deal of rain fell far up the river, but as for his fields it tantalizingly passed by on the other side, and "not enough fell here to wet a handkerchief." On the eighteenth, nineteenth and twenty-second clouds and thunder and lightning again awakened hopes but only slight sprinkles resulted.
But the tormenting presence of the intercepted letter in his pocket drew him back to the house. He encountered his wife in the hallway. "There was some mail for me where is it?" she said, extending a hand confidently. He produced the letter from his pocket, poising it tantalizingly between his fingers. She recognized the handwriting and a wave of red mounted to her forehead.
Is there a ghost at Lyng?" His rejoinder had made Alida laugh again, and it was then that she had flung back tantalizingly: "Oh, there is one, of course, but you'll never know it." "Never know it?" Boyne pulled her up. "But what in the world constitutes a ghost except the fact of its being known for one?" "I can't say. But that's the story."
"Brag is a good dog," derided Brown from the bow seat of the Preston canoe. "We keep both dogs here," Dave shouted tantalizingly. "Are you coming out to wallop us?" Hartwell insisted. "Yes; if you insist upon it," Dick agreed. "But we don't like to do it." "Get into your canoe and come out and see how much of your brag you can make good," was Hartwell's calm reply. "What? Now?" Prescott inquired.
Won't be gone a minute. Just want to speak to the governor." Nance scrambled down the bank and accepted the fluttering charges, then watched with liveliest interest the buoyant figure in the light suit go swinging up the road. There was something tantalizingly familiar in his quick, imperious manner and his brown, irresponsible eyes.
He, too, stood still, his eyes fixed on the undulating movements of Fairy's exquisite form. She had arrested her favourite, and was now at play with it, shaking off her straw hat, and drawing the ribbon attached to it tantalizingly along the smooth grass.
He was trying to keep his temper. The dish which Sheni held so tantalizingly under his very nose made him mad with hunger and desire. But Ben Maslia took no heed. He began to dilate upon the virtues of another piece of tapestry. "This," he said, "I bought in the famous bazaar of Damascus. It is hundreds of years old.
