"Except," he returned, unsmilingly, "that then it would be one of a long series." "Not as far as I'm concerned," she answered. "I should leave you on account of your bad temper." "If I hadn't first left you on account of " "Of burning the cereal?" "Of being so infernally irresponsible about it." "Oh, that's the trouble, is it?" she said. "That I did not seem to care?
He was unsmilingly amused at the comments of mixed shrewdness and crudity which Lemuel was betrayed into at times beyond certain limits of diffidence that he had apparently set himself; at his blunders and misconceptions, at the truth divined by the very innocence of his youth and inexperience.
Unsmilingly she reached over with one slim forefinger, as if compelled, and touched the blond hairs on Nick's wrist. Just touched them. Nick remained motionless. The girl shivered a little, deliciously. She glanced at him shyly. Her lips were provocative. Thoughtlessly, blindly, Nick suddenly flung an arm about her, kissed her.
He is not quite such a nuisance as he was; he has got some backbone and can sit up quite nicely, and he loves his bath now and splashes unsmilingly in the water instead of twisting and shrieking. Oh, shall I ever forget those first two months! I don't know how I lived through them.
Before long all their happy voices rose together, on "Believe me," and "Working on the Railroad," and "Seeing Nellie Home," and a dozen more of the old songs that young people have sung for half a century in the summer moonlight. And then it was time to say good-night to Professor Tenison. "Come again, sir!" said Mr. Mrs. "But surely you'll be down our way again?" said she, unsmilingly.
She tried to check her action, but it was too late. The rosebud flew from her fingers, and the Englishman's head being directly in her line of fire, the bud, sped with hearty goodwill, hit him straight on the nose. Ann smiled she couldn't help it.

"It's Scattergood Baines, all right. Don't call to mind bein' christened Mister." "My name is Blossom." "Perty name," said Scattergood, unsmilingly. "I wonder if I can have a little talk with you, Mr. Baines?" "Havin' it, hain't you?" Mr. Blossom smiled appreciatively, and sat down beside Scattergood. "I'm interested in the new Higgins's Bridge Pulp Company. You've heard of it, haven't you?"
The door abruptly opened, and a tall, handsome squaw, dressed in the clothes of rougher civilization, stood regarding them unsmilingly. To his surprise she was not only beautiful but quite young. The boy's chatter ceased instantly and his face fell. One small mitted hand approached the corner of his pretty mouth, and he regarded the woman with quaint, childish reproach.
He realized that generalities would hardly serve his turn just then. "I was settin' here feelin' sore at the whole doggone outfit," he explained. "Sore at you and everybody." "Well?" said Doris unsmilingly. "I'm askin' you to forgit that I was sore at you." Pete was not ordinarily of an apologetic turn, and he felt that he pretty thoroughly squared himself.
Whately, best way in the world you could help her if you really feel so bad about her. But you wouldn't do it. I just urged it as good for all parties. That's it, just good for all of us; and it would have been, but I didn't command you to it, just opened the way to help you." My father did not repress the smile this time, for the thought of Judson commanding him was too much to bear unsmilingly.
