Perhaps he felt himself somewhat ungently reminded that he was going to sacrifice strict justice to beauty; or he may have been like a dreamer who, when loudly addressed by his name, finds that the beautiful magic visions by which he thought he was surrounded vanish away. There was nothing for it now but to patiently wait for the King's decision.
So do I know that thou dost love the Duchess Helen that men do call 'the Beautiful. I do know that on thy marriage night thou wert snatched away to shameful prison. I do know that she, because her heart was as great as her love, did follow thee in knightly guise, and thou did most ungently drive her from thee. All this, and much beside, thou didst shout and whisper in thy fever."
He fastened each with a collar and chain to a post, up which they climbed, and sitting on the top they whined and growled, according to their humor. For the first few days there was danger of the cubs strangling themselves or of starving to death, but at length they were beguiled into drinking some milk most ungently procured from a range cow that was lassoed for the purpose.
"Tell me, Alves," the old man asked in a rambling manner, "how did you ever come to marry him? I've wanted to ask you that from the first." Mrs. Preston rose from the chair and pulled her cloak about her. "I couldn't make you understand; I don't myself now." "D'yer love him?" the dentist persisted, not ungently. "Should I be here if I did?" she flashed resentfully.
It may be weak, but I have never been able to speak ungently to any one in trouble, whatever the cause may be. I have known too much trouble myself. She raised her head slowly, pushed back her hair, and looked at me. I had never seen her before. I could only stare helplessly at her. "But you are not the woman who escaped last October?" I stammered at last. "Yes," she said pathetically, "I am.
Without hesitation he entered and touched the woman on the shoulder. "Hello, Madgie," he said, not ungently, "you here again? It's pretty late for even your kind to be out, isn't it? Better trot away and go to bed, if you've got one to go to; he isn't here." The woman put her hands to her face, and Lidgerwood saw that she was shaking as if with a sudden chill.
Not ungently, she refused my hand or any assistance, and came down among the rest of the party. I could not but feel a strange wonder at the powerful side of her character just shown her courage, her cool daring. In her face now there was a look of annoyance, and possibly disgust, as well as of triumph so natural in cases of physical prowess.
The flute dropped from her fingers; she covered her face with her hands, and the hot tears coursed slowly down her cheeks. Some one spoke to her, not ungently, and she looked up. One of the canoe-men stood beside her. He pointed to the canoe, now launched near by. Snoqualmie was still below, at the foot of the falls, superintending the removal of the other.
Then suddenly her gaze met a pair of compelling brown eyes, not cold and scrutinizing as they had been when their owner had passed her a short time before, but sympathetic and friendly. She blushed furiously and, quickly walking toward the forlorn pair, extended to each a cold hand of welcome. "Come Periwinkle, come Pearl," she said, not ungently.
He fought as strength was given him to fight, but they carried him ungently and hurled him asprawl upon the floor of a patrol wagon, already well occupied by arrests from the mob. "Git 'em to the station," the driver was ordered, and off lurched the patrol wagon. That rapid ride brought cooling to Bonbright's head. He had made a fool of himself.
