This man was two-faced, two-mannered. No thoroughbred was anything but single-faced and single-mannered. A thoroughbred, hot-blooded as it might be, was always sincere. But in this scrub was no sincerity, only a positive insincerity. A thoroughbred had passion, because of its hot blood; but this scrub had no passion. Its blood was cold as its deliberateness, and it did nothing save deliberately.
He had been frowning but the frown slipped away from his forehead when he gazed into Mary Rose's blue eyes, so that he looked very kind and friendly. Mary Rose jumped from the chair and ran over to him. "I'm Mary Rose," she said a bit shyly. This unknown uncle was so big and strong and he was janitor of this strange two-faced palace.
'Oh, get away before I hit you! You're a silly little fool. She slowly walked away, calling out: 'And you're a silly two-faced mangle, in a very irritating tone. Archie made a tremendous effort to ignore her, then he ran after her saying: 'Will you shut up or will you not? Aylmer seized hold of him. 'What are you going to do, Archie? 'Teach Dilly what I am. She says Oh, she's such a fool!
At once Gwendolyn forgot the wrong put upon her in the matter of the cake in astonishment at this new turn of affairs. Evidently Miss Royle and Thomas were leagued against Jane! The governess nodded importantly, "She was only a cook before she came here," she declared contemptuously. "Down at the Employment Agency, where Madam got her, they said so. The common, two-faced thing!"
Confounding realization then was that when Dale returned with her sister, Helen knew she would do the same thing over again! "If I do I won't be two-faced about it," she soliloquized, and a hot blush flamed her cheeks. She watched Dale until he rode out of sight. When he had gone, worry and dread replaced this other confusing emotion. She turned to the business of meeting events.
Well, will you be good enough to tell me what the devil is the meaning of all this two-faced, underhanded conduct on your part?" He lowered his head, closed his thin lips and fumbled with the hem of his smock in a significantly sullen manner. It was evident that he meant to defy me.
Among all these parasites two individuals stood forth with special prominence: a dwarf named Janus or the Two-faced, a Dane, or, as some asserted, of Jewish extraction, and crazy Prince L. In contrast to the customs of that day the dwarf did not in the least serve as a butt for the guests, and was not a jester; on the contrary, he maintained constant silence, wore an irate and surly mien, contracted his brows in a frown, and gnashed his teeth as soon as any one addressed a question to him.
"I will answer you nothing!" murmured Isabel, still facing her husband as she moved round into the garden driveway. "Arthur Winslow, it is you who are on trial, not I!" "I on trial! God, listen to that!" He sprang after her, gripped her shoulders, and hung over her, snarling, "You two-faced runaway! what have I done but suffer?" She kept the lantern hid. "What have you done?
Because they seemed to him so two-faced, so trifling, so cowardly, he liked to "stick" them every time he had a fair chance and could do it within the law. It was his favorite game. They worked so blindly and went on so stupidly, talking so foolishly, that it afforded him sport to come along and take the bacon away from them.
Two minutes elapsed, three minutes, five minutes, not another shot; but it might commence again at any moment, and I stood at a respectful distance from the danger, uncertain what course to pursue for the recovery of my traps, all of which, rifle, snow-shoes, and tobaugan loaded with spoils, lay in pledge with the two-faced friend whose treacherous shelter had no longer any charm for me, when I beheld several sleighs approaching us from the town at a fearful pace, in the foremost of which, when within range of rifle, I recognized Old Wabbles, the commandant.
