Tessie, walking slowly past it, and peering through the high iron fence, could not help noting an air of unwonted excitement about the place, usually so aloof, so coldly serene. Automobiles standing out in front. People going up and down. They didn't look very cheerful. Just as if it mattered whether anything happened to her or not! Tessie walked around the block and stood a moment, uncertainly.
She looked down at the food and then uncertainly up to his face. Never in her life, that she could remember, had she been addressed to peremptorily. His lips smiled, but there was no denying the note of command in his voice and in his attitude. Curiously enough she found herself fingering at the coffee cup. "There's a lump of sugar in it," he added, "and another on the saucer. I have no cream."
I must know why she was meeting Tom without her mother's knowledge. "I'll send the car home and we'll walk together. It isn't often I have an afternoon without something that must be done in it. I'll wait here while you get your hat and coat." Into the girl's face came flush that spread slowly to the temples, and uncertainly she looked at me.
And the old man, never doubting, his eyes starting, wagged his head in amazement. "Oh, yes," cried Caraher, the length of the table, "that's a pretty good one. Tell us another."

"I thought you did," said she. "Well, you're comin' over to my house, ain't you, Esther? You'll find a good many changes there. My daughter Flora and I are all that's left now, you know, I s'pose." Mrs. Field moved her head uncertainly. This old woman, with her straight demands for truth or falsehood, was torture to her.

The tea, untasted, smoked upward into his face, an insidious, narcotic cloud.
Fran held out her swinging foot, and examined the dusty shoe. "Oh," she said in a relieved tone, "I was afraid it meant to sit down all the time. Lots of people are ambitious not to move if they can help it." He looked at her a little uncertainly, then went on: "So it keeps me studying hard, to fit myself for the future.
One of them was snoring in a corner, his head resting upon the sawdust. Another leaned heavily upon the bar, a half-drained glass before him. Even the four at the table were not as upon the night before. The hands which held the greasy cards and toyed with the stacks of chips were steady, but the heads controlling them wavered uncertainly; and the hawk eyes were bloodshot.
