Herbert decided to wait until his father came, so that he might give him an account of the true state of affairs; and it was well that he did so, for, even had she been able, it is doubtful whether Marjory would have been willing to say much about her own part in the day's happenings.
No, no! you must please wait till the inner voice speaks so that I can hear it plainly for your sake at least as much as for mine. If you persisted in coming to see me now, I should have to put an end to it all." "Strange is the modern woman!" thought Wharton to himself, not without sharp pique, as he pondered that letter in the course of his drive home from the meeting.
This left her uncertain as to her next movements. Should she return to the nursing home, and wait about in its neighbourhood in the hope of meeting her husband on his way to see Elaine? That course seemed undignified. Should she try the laboratory once more? That seemed a mere waste of precious time. Should she walk the length of the Wilhelmstrasse on the chance of crossing him there?

Take me round there, Jeffrey." He was quite willing. With a good old pal like this to egg you on, he thought, there actually was some fun left. So he handed her out, and told Denny to wait for them, and they skirted the high board fence to the gap in the back.

"I think she would, if I could go there." "You are much thicker with her than I ever was. You went to see her at Grex, when nobody else was there." "Is Miss Cassewary nobody?"
The mother told herself that she would wait, but the waiting was as bitter as anything she ever had known. When Elnora awoke Monday another dress was in the hands of a seamstress and was soon fitted. It had belonged to the Angel, and was a soft white thing that with a little alteration would serve admirably for Commencement and the ball.
