Westlake was expected home to-night, but had telegraphed to say that he would return in the morning. Stella had spent the evening alone; Adela found her in the boudoir with a single lamp, reading. 'Are you still feverish? Stella asked, putting to her cheek the ungloved hand. 'I think not I can't say.
There were none of the ordinary signs of anger there, but an intense white passion, the control of which was obviously costing her a prodigious effort. She touched his fingers with her ungloved hand as she stepped over a stile, and he found them icy cold. All the joy of that unexpectedly sunny morning seemed to have passed.
It has gone to my heart. Good-night, you wonderful place!" 'She had conquered me altogether. It was done so warmly with such a winning, spontaneous charm. I cannot say what pleasure I got out of those primroses lying in her soft ungloved hand all the way home.
I believe that I am now in a position to play a bold game, and I believe that I shall soon arrive at the truth." He spoke in a low voice, and with a solemn emphasis that betrayed the intensity of his feeling. Miss Talboys stretched out her ungloved hand, and laid it in his own. The cold touch of that slender hand sent a shivering thrill through his frame.
Oswyn's restless humour welcomed the suggestion, and he was already waiting, his soft felt hat in one ungloved hand, and a heavy, quaintly carved stick in the other.
'Let me, said Paul, and she surrendered the hand and he peeled the glove from it delicately, and held the white wonder in his own palm. He stooped and kissed it in an idiot rapture. 'How happy you make me! he said, looking up with tears in his eyes. 'How I love you! She stroked his cheek and his hair with the soft ungloved hand, smiling softly at him.
My penitent's voice, which was very irritated, though restrained by respect for the locality, softened as if by magic at the creaking of my wicket. She knelt down, piously folded her two ungloved hands, plump, perfumed, rosy, laden with rings but let that pass.
"It seemed the simplest way to avoid possible complications, or unnecessary lies." "And you flung away my ring also?" The question came out in spite of himself, for he had noted her ungloved left hand. "No. Only I could not very well wear it under the circumstances." He stood aside now to let her pass.
But "Will Jones," the woodman, was not easily to be recognized as Charles Stuart, the prince. He was dressed in the shabbiest of weather-worn suits, his hair cut short to his ears, his face embrowned, his head covered with an old and greasy gray steeple hat, with turned-up brims, his ungloved and stained hands holding for cane a long and crooked thorn-stick.
Instead, Frances Rugley was sitting with her back against a stump at the edge of the clearing where she had come so suddenly upon the campfire, with her ungloved hands lying in her lap so that Ratty's bright eyes could watch them continually. Pete had taken away her gun. Molly was hobbled with the men's horses on the other side of the hollow.
