One of her hands had such a firm tightness as if enmeshed in the railing and the other one dangled without movement. There was a child within him who was uncertain, who would placate and comfort those in distress from the knowledge of distress himself; and thus for a splendid moment he wavered non-judgmentally. And yet it was his father's tone he wanted to emulate.
Joyce sat on the edge of a chair she could not stand watching her master with a blanched face. Never had she seen him betray agitation so powerful. Not the faintest suspicion of the dreadful truth yet dawned upon her. He walked to the door, the open note in his hand; then turned, wavered, and stood still, as if he did not know what he was doing. Probably he did not.
Yes, your eyes tell the truth about it. You love me now; I am here to prove it, and to marry you in spite of yourself." Gently she put away his arms and faced him. "No. It is impossible." He wavered before the finality of her tone. "But you love me," he urged. She was silent, and stood with her eyes fixed on the floor at his feet.
Cora could not resist the desire to look upon her youthful sister, in whose eyes she met an imploring glance, that betrayed the longings of nature. "What says he, dearest Cora?" asked the trembling voice of Alice. "Did he speak of sending me to our father?" For many moments the elder sister looked upon the younger, with a countenance that wavered with powerful and contending emotions.
Even the candles had been lit in readiness, and as their flames wavered and smoked in the evening breeze they cast uncertain shadows on the walls and showed the stern faces of the soldier presidents frowning down on the crowded table from their gilded frames. There was a great leather lounge stretching along one side of the hall, and Clay moved toward this quickly and laid his burden down.
She wavered to her chair by the hearth-place, and covered her face with her white hands. The boy got to his knees, then to his feet; he staggered backwards into the arras beside the door. 'God's curse on you! he said. 'Where is Margot? That I may beat her! That I may beat her as you have beaten me. He waved his hand with a tipsy ferocity and staggered through the door.
I must have made a wonderful face. "Do I show it?" "You're as white as a sheet. You look awful." I considered; I could meet on this, without scruple, any innocence. My need to respect the bloom of Mrs. Grose's had dropped, without a rustle, from my shoulders, and if I wavered for the instant it was not with what I kept back.
Now the Greeks in front of us, fearing for their rear, wavered a moment and fell back, perhaps, ten paces. I saw the opportunity and could bear no more, who before all things was a soldier. Shouting to some of our wounded to watch the women, I drew my sword and leapt forward. "I come, Northmen!" I cried, and was greeted with a roar of: "Olaf Red-Sword!
"Good head!" cried Dr. Bird, "Clever work! Watch the fun now." He ceased firing his gun. The Russians wavered and then rushed the point from which McCready had fired. The lieutenant allowed them to get to within a short distance and then crumpled the attack with another burst of fire from the flank. With cries of alarm, the Russians turned and fled toward their trucks.
Soon after this conversation, a lady came to see her and told her about the deaf and blind Norwegian child, Ragnhild Kaata, who had been taught to speak and understand what her teacher said to her by touching his lips with her fingers. She at once resolved to learn to speak, and from that day to this she has never wavered in that resolution.
