But when she walked down the drive half an hour later, with the collies leaping about her, the writer quietly fell into step at her side. Susan stopped short, the color rushing into her face. But her companion paid no heed to her confusion. "I want to talk to you, Susan," said he unsmilingly, and with a tired sigh. "Where shall we walk? Up behind the convent here?"
Jewel amused herself about the grounds until the phaeton should return with her grandfather. When she saw it coming she ran down to the gate and hopped and skipped back beside it, Mr. Evringham watching her gyrations unsmilingly. As he dismounted at the piazza she clung to his hand going up the steps. "Which are you going to do, grandpa, go riding or play golf?"
They must be used to a good deal of American joking which they do not understand, in the foreign steamship offices. The clerk turned unsmilingly to one of his superiors and asked him some question in German which March could not catch, perhaps because it formed no part of a conversation with a barber, a bootmaker or a banker.
"We offer you the freedom of the city, ma'am. Welcome to our midst, and kindly excuse appearances this morning. Our trunks got delayed in New York." Unsmilingly the girl's level gray eyes studied the tramp's face. Then her glance swept him swiftly from bared head to rundown heel.
The gambler nodded encouragingly. "Bully," he murmured, turning his eyes just for one moment in the little man's direction. But it was only for a moment.

I place myself at your service, Mr. Maloney. What you need shall be furnished. Whatever you say shall be done." Dicky looked at him unsmilingly.
But the guileless Lovell interpreted not the deeper meaning of Grandpa's words. "I think some of it, Cap'n," he answered unsmilingly, and then continued: "It's been ahem! it's been a very mild winter on the ahem! I should say on the Cape. It's been a very mild winter on the Cape, Miss Hungerford." Lovell's nervous glance falling again on his gun, took me in wildly on the way.
For the first time in many years his heart was filled with a sense of the beauty of the world. Bertie looked older and graver when Haney entered the Eagle Hotel, and his heart expanded with a tenderness that was partly paternal. She seemed so young and looked so pale and troubled. She greeted him unsmilingly and calmly handed him the pen with which to register.

The quick, authoritative glance was delightfully familiar, yet somehow new. "Why, you brought me, of course, Martie," he said unsmilingly, as if any other supposition would have been absurd. He had not spoken before; she knew now that she had hungered for his rather deep, ready voice. Her colour came up, her heart gave a curious twist, and she dropped her eyes.
