And so the heat slipped down with the sun to other horizons, coolness crept in upon the running river's breast with the dusk, dew gathered and lay darkly glittering on rail and spar and shroud as star by star stole out to sparkle in it; and Andrew raised his eyes at length, and they rested long and unwaveringly on the little figure sitting not far away with hands crossed about the knees and eyes looking out into the last light the tranquil, happy face from which a white handkerchief kept back the flying hair while giving it the likeness of a nun's.
To let her so much as suspect his feeling were as bad as to utter it; nay, infinitely worse, for it would mean that he must not see her after to-night. He and she would then be each other's peril in a far direr sense than now. He replied to her 'I'm so sorry; I shall not be there to-morrow. I have to go out of London. He looked her in the face unwaveringly.
For a little while the silence of the room was unbroken, save for the steady tick-tock of a great clock in one corner. Mr. Grimm's eyes were fixed unwaveringly upon those of the chief executive. At last the secretary of war crumpled a sheet of paper impatiently and hitched his chair up to the table. "Coming down to the facts it's like this, isn't it?" he demanded briskly.
Then the child spoke, her serious, questioning eyes upon him unwaveringly. "Are you a damned Mormon?" It broke the spell of awe that had lain upon him, so that he felt for the moment only a pious horror of her speech. He called Christina to take charge of her, and Martha, the second wife, to put away her little bundle of clothing, and Tom Potwin to fetch water for her bath.
Tell me what you mean!" Sir Eustace made an abrupt gesture, the gesture of the swordsman on guard. He met the attack instantly and unwaveringly, but his look was wary. He did not seek to throw the lesser man from his path. As it were instinctively, though possibly for the first time in his life, he treated him as an equal. "You know what I mean!" he made fierce rejoinder.
There was even something superb in her reckless denunciation of the man before her. He heard it without stirring a muscle, his eyes fixed unwaveringly upon her, grim and cold as steel. When she ceased to speak, he still stood motionless, almost as if he were waiting for something. She also waited, girt for battle, eager for the fray.
"In other parts of the country," replied Douglas, his blue eyes fixed unwaveringly on Charleton's dark face, "among people of our kind and breed, a girl like Judith couldn't run with a girl like Inez and be considered decent.
She drew the key from the locked door and walked deliberately to the writing table. For a moment she seemed to require the support of its ledge, yet steadily enough she passed back to the clock. There she wheeled about. Up went her right hand holding a little revolver. She spoke softly, not unwaveringly, but quite clearly. "Whoever you are, I think you had better come out.
"His name was Archie, and he used to jump over the roof of a part of our house as high as" he looked about and pointed conclusively at the ell of a house across the street "as high as that," he said, with one small pink finger indicating unwaveringly. "That must have been quite a jump," remarked Anderson, and his voice betrayed nothing. "That setter was an awful jumper," said the little boy.
But he had deeply felt what it is that makes the greatness of nations; in that extremity no man was more staunch than he; no man more unwaveringly disdained unrighteous empire, or kept the might of moral forces more steadfastly in view.
