They brought him more water, which he lapped greedily out of the enamelled dish, even while Earle held it; and when at length they left him, the poor brute was tentatively trifling with the remains of the food with which they had supplied him.
He was emaciated to an alarming degree and his complexion was of the pale, yellow-green that spoke of many recurrences of malaria. The signs were familiar to Harber. He sat down beside Barton, and, as the other looked at him half a dozen times tentatively, he presently spoke to him. "You've had a bad time of it, haven't you?" "Terrible," said Barton frankly. "They say I'm convalescent now.
Barclay listened to her story, and then wheeled in his chair and exclaimed, "Can Adrian publish that book?" "Yes," she answered tentatively; "that is, he could if it didn't take such an awful lot of money." After discussing details with her, Barclay called Neal Ward and said:
"But I sha'n't," he added. The spark of eagerness in her eyes was instantly curtained. "There is a woman?" tentatively. "Is there not always a woman?" "And she has disappointed Monsieur?" There was no marked sympathy in the tone. "Since Eve, has that not been woman's part in the human comedy?" He was almost certain that her lips became firmer. "Smile, if you wish. It is not prohibitory here."
The actor's gaze darkened into a frowning stare, as if he did not quite make out this kind of fooling. "All the world loves a lover," he said, tentatively. "I don't believe it does," said Maxwell, "except as it's stupid, and loves anything that makes it laugh. It loves a comic lover, and in the same way it loves a droll drunkard or an amusing madman."
He stopped to light a match upon the gate and put his cigarette to work before he answered her; and Evadna touched tentatively the wide, blue ribbon wound round her arm and tied in a bow at her elbow, and eyed him guardedly. "Straight up, he told me," Gene answered sourly. "He's sore over something that happened last night, and he didn't seem to have any talk to give away this morning.
He started guiltily to his feet in the very middle of a spasmodic upheaval, to stand and stare questioningly at the big figure whose fingers had plucked tentatively at his elbow, until a sudden, delighted recognition flooded his face. Then he reached out one pudgy hand with eager cordiality. "Why, greetings greetings!" he exclaimed. "Didn't quite recognize you with your er decoration."
Opposite there was a succession of wooded hills with here and there a stately residence. "How beautiful, mother!" Lilian cried, moved in every pulse of her being, her eyes lustrous with tears, her lips quivering. The beauty did not so move the mother. She was embarrassed and shrank when the coachman with an authoritative air approached them. "Mrs. Boyd?" tentatively.
"We don't have a really bad case here, now. A few of these people were lash-burned horribly, though." Vall was looking at the other sketches. One was a musket, with a wide butt and a band-fastened stock; the lock-mechanism, vaguely flintlock, had been dotted in tentatively.
It ended one winter month when George agreed to receive his complaining brother and sister on condition that they should get something to do. Gerhardt was nonplussed for a moment, but invited them to take the furniture and go their way. His generosity shamed them for the moment; they even tentatively invited him to come and live with them, but this he would not do.
