In his estimation, his brother's choice was something sacred and indisputable. The lady might, and did, treat him with unconcealed contempt, laugh at his awkwardness, grow impatient at his stammering it made no difference to Uncle George.
"And one of his favorites happens to be your favorite, too." She tried to look at Winterfield, but her eyes sank. She could turn toward him, and that was all. "Is it the sea-piece in the study?" she said to him faintly. "Yes," he answered, with formal politeness; "it seems to me to be one of the painter's finest works." Romayne looked at him in unconcealed wonder.
The "vieux Jacob" of old-fashioned Parisian Bohemia inspired in him unconcealed horror, of cigars he was suspicious because, he said, most of the unpleasant people he knew smoked cigars, so he soothed his soul with cigarettes, and he was usually to be found with one between his fingers.
Gilbert, with a red face, and pride unconcealed and justifiable, carrying a grand dish of smoking hot boiled beef, set in a very flower bed, so to speak, of carrots, turnips, and suet dumplings; the servant followed with a brown basin, almost as big as a ewer, filled with mealy potatoes, whose jackets hung by a thread.
"Maybe it's leather work, or machinery, or taxidermy or marksmanship," Tom continued, with no thought further from his mind than that of showing off. "Guess again," Hervey laughed. "Then it must be either music or stalking," Tom said, dully. His companion paused in his steps, contemplating Tom with unconcealed amazement. "Right-o," he said; "it's stalking. What are you? A mind reader?"
"But you did," cried Jimsy, regarding the dead bodies of coyotes the vanquished pack had left behind. "And excellent work your rifles did, too," declared Mr. Bell warmly. "Our rifles and the Girl Aviators," said Roy, and proceeded to tell the interested listeners from the cavern some incidents which caused them to open their eyes and regard our girls with unconcealed admiration.
It will be put to no base use in the future I answer for that." "You answer for that?" repeated Mrs. Glenarm. She suddenly leaned forward over the piano, and fixed her eyes in unconcealed scrutiny on Anne's face. The violent temper, so often found in combination with the weak nature, began to show itself in her rising color, and her lowering brow.
It took more than an ordinary man to make him look even once but he could not take his eyes off this boy before him. Once he whistled softly between his teeth in unconcealed amazement; once he walked entirely around him, exclaiming softly to himself. Then he remembered. "Here, get into these," he ordered abruptly, and thrust the things into Denny's waiting hands.
His biographer writes of Velasquez as handsome in person, and describes his costume when he appeared for the last time with his king in the galas at Pheasants' Isle: 'over a dress richly laced with silver he wore the usual Castilian ruff, and a short cloak embroidered with the red cross of Santiago; the badge of the order, sparkling with brilliants, was suspended from his neck by a gold chain; and the scabbard and hilt of his sword were of silver, exquisitely chased, and of Italian workmanship. In the likeness of Velasquez, which is the frontispiece of Sir W. Stirling Maxwell's 'Life, the painter appears as a man of swarthy complexion, with a long compressed upper lip, unconcealed by his long, elaborately trimmed moustache; his hair, or wig, is arranged in two large frizzed bunches on each side of a face which is inclined to be lantern-jawed.
