Hamlin sir!" gasped the colonel, falling back, as his hand involuntarily rose to the level of his waistcoat pocket and his derringer. But Mr. Hamlin only put down the wine glass he had lifted from the table and was delicately twirling between his fingers, and looked fixedly at the colonel. "Look here," he said slowly.
Worthington, she departs. Then he sits down again, twirling his beaver, while Cynthia looks at him in quiet amusement. "I shall walk to Coniston again, next week," he announced. "What an energetic man!" said Cynthia. "I want to have my fortune told." "I hear that you walk a great deal," she remarked, "up and down Coniston Water. I shall begin to think you romantic, Mr. Worthington perhaps a poet."
"Speak of angels and you hear the rustle of their wings," is a proverb as true and much pleasanter of thought than its opposite, and whether Tom Tubbs were an angel or not, it was he who stood twirling his cap in the hall, asking for Mrs. Cameron. "She can't see you, but I'll take the message. Is it about my son?" Father Cameron said, striding up to the boy, who began to wish himself away.
I am going to bore you, annoy you; for I am to see you every day for the next week. Can you bear it? I shall be worse than the balm of 'I-told-you-so." Monroe pressed his friend's hand. "Come, by all means. And now we are near my house; go in and take tea with us." "No, not to-day. It is dies nefastus. Good-bye!"

In New Mexico, as you must yourself know, might makes right; and never more than at this present time. Don Manuel Armijo is once more the governor of my unfortunate fatherland.
"You wished to speak with me, the servant said." "Yes," she leaned back against the couch on which she rested, with face now clearly revealed, one hand nervously twirling a fan. "Although it is not easy for me to transform into words exactly what I mean. This is a very strange situation in which we find ourselves, Captain West." "I have felt so," he admitted, surprised at this beginning.
For the first time my idle curiosity about my companion turned into a serious desire to understand him better. "I wish you'd tell me how it happened," I said. He stood looking up at the sketch, and twirling between his fingers a cigarette he had forgotten to light. Suddenly he turned toward me. "I'd rather like to tell you because I've always suspected you of loathing my work."
I'm no woman's rights woman, but I have a conscience that'll keep me awake nights until I have freed my mind." Here Hepsey paused, and twirling her pencil between her lips, gazed around at her auditors who were listening with breathless attention. Then she suddenly exclaimed with suppressed wrath, and in her penetrating tones: "What is the matter with you men, anyway?
