The Countess de Mattos glanced at the two wistfully, longing to go to them and ask questions. Yet something seemed to hold her back. It was as if a whisper in her ear advised that there were things it was better not to know. This was ridiculous, of course.
Don't get up please don't get up," she continued, as he started to rise. She was standing before him, a hand on either side of his face, into which she was looking quite as wistfully as he was regarding her. Something she missed in his manner, something which troubled her; and thinking she knew what it was, she said to him: "Why don't you kiss me, Morris? You used to. Ain't you glad to see me?"
Thus, as he moved on from battery to battery, at times our Commandant talked earnestly, wistfully, and at times fell to a despondent silence; and still between his eagerness and his despondency the personal question awoke "He is kind, but he is here to pass judgment on me. What can the sentence be but disgrace?"
Again she raised her eyes to his, doubtfully, perhaps a little wistfully. "It wouldn't be right, would it until you are presented?" He was silent. "Still," she said, looking up into the sky, "I often come to the river below, usually after luncheon." "I wonder if there are any gudgeon there?" he said; "I could bring a rod " "Oh, but are you coming? Is that right?
And by-and-by, in the drawing-room, I put Derrick's letter into her hands, and explained to her how for a few months he had given up his life at Bath, in despair, but now had returned. "I don't think Lawrence can understand the state of things," she said wistfully. "And yet he has been down there." I made no reply, and Freda, with a sigh, turned away.
A little groan fell from Tessibel's lips. "I air ashamed of ye, Sandy," she said slowly. "Longmans wouldn't have no murderer in their hut.... They be awful good folks.... Ye know they be, Sandy." "Sure I know it, Tessie, but I've said as how I air goin' to search all the squatters' huts an' I air goin' to do it, I can tell ye that." Tess smiled at him wistfully, pleadingly.
Pancras Church, then just built, and as handsome as Covent Garden Theatre; and of evenings, to a meeting-house of the Anabaptists: and that day, at least, Mary and I had to ourselves, for we chose to have seats at the Foundling, and heard the charming music there, and my wife used to look wistfully in the pretty children's faces, and so, for the matter of that, did I. It was not, however, till a year after our marriage that she spoke in a way which shall be here passed over, but which filled both her and me with inexpressible joy.

Silverbridge should have it all, if he could arrange it.
"My little girl!" he murmured between his kisses. "My little rebel!" And as she snuggled in his arms, her berry-stained fingers clasped tightly about his neck, he asked her wistfully, "Did you miss me? awful much?" "Yes," she nodded, looking into his eyes. "Yes in the night time when the wind was talkin'; but, after while, when Why, Daddy!"
"I must be so different from all the other women you are used to," she told him wistfully. "I'm not smart or amusing and I don't dress as well as they do." Jimmy smiled. "Well, one can always buy clothes," he said. A sudden wave of tenderness swept through his heart as he looked at her. "Anyway, you've got one pull over all of them," he said with momentary sentiment.
