She seemed to see the agonized humility in his expression and hear the low tenseness of his voice as he repeated aloud the words she had used "An ign'rant, savage, stupid brute!" She laughed almost hysterically. "Why can I see him just him and not the others? Has he come to to haunt me?" she finished with a gasp. The sand had reached her breast. How long before it clutched at her throat?
It was Time's mocking reminder that the morning parade was over for ever, and now the soldier must be at ease. He gasped and spluttered, his figure lost its tenseness, and from the fit of coughing he came back again an old and feeble man.
He bent over her till his face was rather close to hers. She looked back at him without fear, though she both saw and felt the tenseness with which he was making his farewell speech. "Before I go, I say, I'm going to tell you that if you were any other girl on the old footstool I'd have one kiss from you before I let go of you if I knew it meant I'd never have another. I could take it "
She had never been in a room in which she felt less at ease: perhaps she had been prejudiced by Aunt Rose's words about the cat, but that seemed absurd and she was confused by her vague feelings of anger and pity and suspicion. However, she did her best to be a pleasant guest. She had somehow to break the tenseness in the room and she called on her reserve of anecdote. She told the story of Mr.
"She knows," he said, pointing for Jolly Roger to go. "She is calling you!" The tenseness was gone from the bronze muscles of his face. He was lonely without Yellow Bird, and the signal fire meant she would be with him again soon. Jolly Roger walked swiftly over the white beach.
He held her face between his hands, looking down into the depth of her eyes with a strength of feeling which she could but sense. There was an expression of expectancy, an unspoken desire that she should recognize something which as yet she had failed to see. There was a tenseness which would have frightened her except for the tenderness which accompanied it.
They were the first words Whaley had spoken. In his soft, purring voice they carried out the suggestion of his crouched tenseness. If West was the grizzly bear, the other was the forest panther, more feline, but just as dangerous. The convict looked at him, eyes narrowed, head thrust forward and down. "What's that?" "I said to let her alone." West's face heliographed amazement. "Meanin' ?"
"No, but I heard a couple of men size it up aboard the train coming from Scenic Hot Springs. And once," he went on with gathering tenseness, "clear up the Tanana, I heard Dave and Hollis talking it over. My, yes, it seems like I can see them now; they was the huskiest, cleanest-cut, openest-faced team that ever mushed a trail.
She turned and looked at him, enquiringly at first, then with a delightful little smile which relieved all the tenseness of her expression. "By assuring me that you are not going to emulate, in however innocent a fashion, my husband's exploits in the musical comedy world." He leaned over her chair, took her hands in his and looked into her eyes. "Honestly," he asked, "do you need any assurance?"
But his nonchalance, his air of finality, his authoritative assurance these to my keen and practiced eyes were in significant contrast to a certain tenseness of line about his mouth and a slow paling of his olive skin. He had crossed the path of Vaughn Steele; he had blocked the way of this Texas Ranger.
