"I proved that in my marriage. I should think you had equally proved it in yours!" Mrs. Sorrel recoiled a little timorously.
The Abbot seemed bowed down with the extremity of sorrowful apprehension, but kept his eye timorously fixed on the Sub-Prior, as if striving to catch some comfort from the expression of his countenance. When at length he beheld that, after a second intent perusal of the letters, he remained still silent and full of thought, he asked him in an anxious tone, "What is to be done?"
"What did your mother say to all this?" I asked the question timorously. Dicky laughed. "Well! of course she didn't go into raptures over the affair," he said, "but I think she learned a lesson. At least I endeavored to help her learn one. I read the riot act to her after you left." "Oh! Dicky!" I protested, "that was hardly fair?" "I know it," he admitted shamefacedly.
The white, jewelled fingers of her right hand, so delicate and tapering, wander over and smooth her silky black hair, that falls in waves over her Ion-like brow.

The easy-going, kindly fellow had never considered all the responsibility involved in making mild love timorously selfish from the first to a married woman who took his advances with desperate seriousness.
I made for the rock of vantage. I found the lion's spoor in the growing light, and followed it slowly and timorously into the bush and beyond.

He went to sleep, lying there under a wing of his plane, and presently Bland himself drifted off into dreams that would have been much less agreeable had he known that a full two dozen Indians had crawled into the willows and were peering timorously out at them.
