In the hurrying Rosanne came down-stairs and found Elizabeth waiting at the foot. They could see each other only by starlight. They were alone, for the others had gone out to the boat. "Are you willing for me to go, Rosanne?" spoke Elizabeth. Her sweet voice was of a low pitch, unhurried and steady. "James says he'll build me a little house in your yard." "Oh, Elizabeth!"
He paused a moment, then slowly, "Do you think her mother would be persuaded to hand her over to me?" he said. Ralston's brows went up. "To you! For good and all do you mean?" "Yes." In his steady unhurried fashion Bernard made answer. "I have been thinking of it for some time. As a matter of fact, it was to consult you about it that I came here to-day. I want it more than ever now."
He had been buried out of sight so long that his tall, gaunt body, his unhurried, mechanical movements, his set face and his eyes with an empty gaze suggested an invincible indifference to all the possible surprises of the earth. That appearance of a resuscitated man who seemed to be commanded by a conjuring spell strolled along the decks of what was even to Mrs.
Is there the slightest justification for it? You feel, just as I do, don't you, that it's a perfectly unbalanced, fanatical, foolish thing to think of doing, his going down into that hopeless mess?" But her husband had had a moment's time, while she exclaimed, to get back to his usual unhurried post in life. "It's certainly about as unexpected as anything I ever heard of," he admitted.
Secretly willing to await the departure of the Cradlebow's ship, to have a brief season of rest from all care and responsibility among the scenes of my past labors a little breathing space in which to study these people quietly, to exchange unhurried kindly words with them before I should go away from them forever I was glad to have it so.
A quarter-mile away and on the hillside opposite a magnificent lioness came loping easily along through the grass. She looked very small at that distance, like a toy, and quite unhurried. Indeed, every few moments she paused to look back in an annoyed fashion over her shoulder in the direction of the row behind her. There was nothing to do but sit tight and wait.
Clay would have known that face among a thousand. It belonged to Jerry Durand. "I came in at the wrong door and without announcin' myself," said the cattleman, almost lazily, the unhurried indolence of his manner not shaken. "You see I wanted to be on time so as not to keep you waitin'. I'm Clay Lindsay."
"Libbie, let that be a warning to you Ruth Gladys Royal is terribly romantic, too!" Miss Anderson, smiling and unhurried, marshaled her charges into the large foyer and announced that they would be assigned to rooms before luncheon. "Mrs. Eustice will speak to you in the assembly hall this afternoon," said Miss Anderson. "And you will meet her and the teachers for a little social hour."
Down below in the quiet, narrow street measured footsteps approached the house, then died away unhurried and firm, as if the passer-by had started to pace out all eternity, from gas-lamp to gas-lamp in a night without end; and the drowsy ticking of the old clock on the landing became distinctly audible in the bedroom. Mrs Verloc, on her back, and staring at the ceiling, made a remark.
Nan thought she could add what had been in her mind, keeping time to every step of the way home: "For now she loves you better than the child." But it proved impossible to say that, and she went out of the room, not looking at him, and only waiting to put away her hat and coat in the hall. She went upstairs with the same unhurried step and shut the door of her room behind her.
