In reply, I bent and kissed the fingers of her ungloved hand. They were so warm and tender that I had been different than I was had I not felt the blood tingle in all my body in the impulse of the moment to do more than kiss her fingers.
The girl did not answer him for at least a minute, and appeared concerned about something that rattled in the bicycle. Then she stopped and looked up at the man with a great tenderness in her eyes. "You want to tell her? Well, it will be very difficult, but I will do it for you." Seaforth stooped and kissed the little ungloved hand on the bicycle reverentially.
Brooks' ungloved hand was hanging down as he sat on the box, and I noticed that he kept snapping his fingers as he sat. "That's a very highly nervous man," I said to myself, "and even that little incident has upset him." Brooks' nervousness passed out of my mind altogether when we reached Euston, and I sought in the bustle for my two cousins.
As I went down the slope towards her I noticed she was tall quite too tall for my taste. I dislike women who can look into my eyes on a level but I had to admit that her form was remarkably symmetrical and graceful. She put out her hand it was ungloved and large, but white and firm, with a cool, pleasant touch and said, with a composure akin to indifference, "Mr. Carslake, I presume.
Suffering her eyes to follow the motion of his elegantly formed aristocratic hand, now ungloved, one swift glance showed her that instead of the unpretending slender gold circlet she had placed on the little finger of his left hand the day of their marriage a ring endeared to her, because it had been her mother's bridal pledge he now wore a flashing diamond, in a broad and costly setting.
Her hands, ungloved, were shapely, but red and hard with manual labor. On the second finger of the left hand was a little gold ring, much thinned by wearing. The eyes of this lady were regarding the unconscious Marcus obliquely, with a singular expression of mingled recollection and doubt.
She put the words as a query, and half timidly held out her little ungloved hand. He took it at once and pressed it cordially. "Indeed, I am sure we shall!" he said heartily, and the smile that made his face more than ordinarily handsome lit up his eyes and showed a depth of sincerity and kindly feeling reflected straight from his honest soul.
My ungloved hands gave me some trouble, and I hid them as well as I could in the folds of my dress; for there was something remarkable about the want of gloves in any one as well dressed as I was. But nobody spoke to me, and one after another they left the omnibus, and fresh persons took their places, who did not know where I had got in.
My mother stood in the centre of the room with one small ungloved hand upon the table, and I noticed for I was very near that the poor little one-legged thing was trembling. "Of course it's not what you've been accustomed to, Maggie," said the man in grey; "but it's only for a little while." He spoke in a new, angry voice; but I could not see his face, his back being to the light.
"I can be as gorgeous as these others, had I brought a bag with me." "No doubt; every British regiment tries to outdo the others in ribbons, and gold lace. Really they become tiresome with such foppery in war times. See how they play to-night, like children, the city practically unguarded from attack," she waved an ungloved hand toward the dark without.
