"We have won, my girl," I said. She smiled wanly. "We have won. But, oh, Alan, that women should have to do such deeds!" Her eyes shone with the light of a soul in sorrow. "Pray to your God now, my husband, that this war may be the last, for all time, in all the universe." Our losses totaled nearly a hundred and fifty girls. We brought back with us on the platforms but six wounded.
Sharply around the corner of his old battered desk the little path started, wanly along the edge of his dingy book-shelves the little path furrowed, wistfully at the deep bay-window where his favorite lilac bush budded whitely for his departure, and rusted brownly for his return, the little path faltered, and went on again, on and on and on, into the alcove where his instruments glistened, up to the fireplace where his college trophy-cups tarnished!
"Unkind?" he muttered. "Yes," she said desperately. "Since I came here you've said a good many hard things to me. I I dare say I've deserved them. But" smiling up at him rather wanly "it isn't always easy to accept one's deserts." She paused, then spoke quickly: "Couldn't we while we're here together behave like friends? Just friends? It's only for a short time."
Now they passed a sheet of water, gleaming wanly among thin willows; then they plunged into the deep gloom of a poplar bluff; and later, lurching down a steep declivity, swept through a shallow creek. The air was filled with the smell of dew-damped soil and unknown aromatic scents, the loneliness was impressive, the half-obscurity emphasized the strangeness of everything.
And there's precisely one thing," she impetuously concluded, as if she couldn't postpone longer telling him, "that I myself have added." Hastings smiled wanly at her.

"Yes; you are to know now," she said, almost as though she were talking to herself; then, with a swift intake of her breath, impulsively: "Jimmie! Jimmie! I had thought that it would be all so different when when you came.
The fire burned low and died, for they had little to replenish it with. Down sank the moon, her pale light dimming as she went, her faint illumination wanly creeping across the disordered, wrack-strewn floor. And at length Stern, in the outer office, Beatrice in the other, they wrapped themselves within their furs and laid them down to sleep.

She smiled wanly, in response, and then sat upright moving her body, her arms, with an air of insuperable weariness. Her expression was dazed; but, instinctively, she rearranged her slightly disordered hair.
Brandeis, and slipped her moist and cold little hand into her mother's warm, work-roughened palm. The mother's brown eyes, very bright with unshed tears, left their perusal of the prayer book to dwell upon the white little face that was smiling rather wanly up at her. The pages of the prayer book lay two-thirds or more to the left.
George was dazzled by the quick glow of her eyes, and found himself at a loss for something to say. Having turned about, he kept his horse to a walk, and at this gait the sleighbells tinkled but intermittently. Gleaming wanly through the whitish vapour that kept rising from the trotter's body and flanks, they were like tiny fog-bells, and made the only sounds in a great winter silence.
