As for me, I would look on, as it seemed my part to do, understandingly, if my intellect could fathom the meaning and the moral, and, at all events, reverently and sadly. The curtain fallen, I would pass onward with my poor individual life, which was now attenuated of much of its proper substance, and diffused among many alien interests.
Hooley nodded understandingly. "I get you, Miss Fielding. But I'll make it so he can't try any capers around here again. No, sir!" The girls were left to discuss the awful peril that had threatened, and come so near to over-coming, Ruth. Helen was particularly excited about it. "I do think, Ruth, that we should start right for home. This is altogether too savage a country.
At each other they gazed, understandingly. "Flowers? Some kind of service?" asked the girl. "Yes. All we can do for him will be too little!" Together they brought armfuls of the brilliant crimson and purple blooms along the edge of the sands, where forest and barren irregularly met; and with these, fir and spruce boughs, the longer to keep his grave freshly green.
There was a new atmosphere in his home a new influence, under which his mind was awakening in spite of his weariness and absorption in the interests of the farm. Alida was always ready to talk about these, and her questions would soon enable her to talk understandingly. She displayed ignorance enough, and this amused him, but her queries evinced no stupidity.
"I'll say you are not at home," returned Ruth, in her best "stage society" manner, and, sweeping down the hall, she met the maid who was coming up to tell Miss Brown there was a caller for her below.

Allie nodded understandingly. "Yes; he didn't have any idea of it, though, till that day he met Dr. Hornblower at the Everetts'. After that he was dreadfully blue; you know he wouldn't stir out anywhere, for ever so long." "Say, Allie," began Marjorie abruptly; "do you remember that day before he was hurt?" "When you were so cross?" inquired Allie mercilessly. "Yes.
Steadily, from one side the room overhead to the other, went the noise of feet; now slowly, now with a quicker motion: and now with a sudden tramp, that sent the listener's blood with a start along its courses. "Won't you see him, doctor?" I did not answer at once, for I was in the dark as to what was best to be done. If I had known the origin of his trouble, I could have acted understandingly.
There was no crack or crevice in it anywhere. Standing close to the door they listened intently for any sound from the other side. Everything was absolutely quiet. All that they could hear was their own excited breathing. Frank put his hand on the knob of the door and flashed a look of mute inquiry at his comrades. They nodded understandingly, and inch by inch Frank noiselessly drew the door open.
Down the balsam and manzanita slope toward the little valley where she lived, Jack stared hungrily during many an empty, dragging hour. Until the darkness had twice drawn down the black curtain that shut him away from the world, he had hoped she would come. She had been so friendly, so understandingly sympathetic she must know how long the days were up there.
Marian Devant came out and looked into the face of the old man, shrewdly, understandingly. "Can you cure him?" she demanded. "I doubt it, miss," was the sturdy answer. "You will try?" The blue eyes lighted up. "Yes, I'll try." "Then you can have him. And if there's any expense " "Come, Comet," said the old man.
