He did not tell her of the thoughts roused in him by his visit. But she divined them. He was tender and wistful as he spoke. He turned his eyes away from her and was silent every now and then. She looked at him and smiled, and Christophe's unease infected her. That evening, when she was alone in her room, she lay dreaming.
And, it gave me a chance to get to know Arlen better." Porter beamed. Oliver didn't want to hear any confidences. "How's the baking going?" "Solid." Porter looked amused at Oliver's unease. "Scones are hot this year can't make enough of them. Later, Slugger." He punched Oliver lightly on the arm and unlocked a sleek black Toyota. Oliver watched him drive away.
Alec drew up his long legs in a movement that suggested unease. "Why, I can't tell you a thing worth hearing," he said, remembering his bond. "It's just I'm quitting Leaping Horse in two weeks. I'm quitting it a year, maybe." Then he added with a smile of greater confidence, "I've hit a big play. Maybe it's going to hand me a pile. Guess I'm looking for a big pile."
His unease communicated itself to the boy, who began to whimper softly. Beaudry, distressed, tried to comfort him. "Now, don't you, son don't you. Dad ain't going to let anything hurt you-all." Presently he touched the flank of his roan with a spur and the animal began to pick its way down the steep trail among the loose rubble.

So he passed the night in trouble and unease, tossing from side to side, as he were laid on coals of tamarisk-wood; for he was overcome with inquietude and sleep visited him not all that night; but his eyes ran over with tears and he repeated the following verses: The night, whilst the slanderers sleep, is tedious unto me; Suffice thee a heart that aches for parting's agony!
She didn't get this, but, with the half-fearful tail of her eye for the clock, let him hold her quiescent, while the relentlessly sliding moments ticked against her unease. "I'm jealous of every hour you lived before I met you." "Big-bad-eat-Josie-up-boy!" "I want to kiss your eyes until they go in deep through you I don't know until they hurt deep I want to hurt you " "Oh! Oh! Josie scared!"

"You ain't goin' straight for Farewell," he remarked at a venture. "I ain't no."

Of course every one on board was familiar with the story of the discovery of the lost heir.
This unease so grew upon me that when not lost in fevered sleep I would lie, with breath in check, listening to such sounds as reached me above the never-ceasing groaning of the vessel's labour, until the squeak and scutter of some rat hard by, or any unwonted rustling beyond the door, would bring me to an elbow in sweating panic.
"Danger " The merman's verdict fed his own unease. Danger had crossed the night, from east to west. And to the west lay what they had always feared. What was going to happen now?
