She showed him that all might still be well that eternity was long enough to make up for the ills of our brief troubled life here. But his mind seemed preoccupied. These future joys did not take that hold upon him that she earnestly desired. His eyes seemed to grow dim in tender, tearful wistfulness, rather than become inspired with immortal hopes.
His eyes flashed, but there was a certain regret and wistfulness in them. "You approve, of course?" he said, turning to Sergius Thord. Sergius looked for a moment at Zouche with an infinitely grave and kindly compassion. "I think Paul has acted bravely;" he then said slowly; "He has been true to the principles of our Order.
His eyes were no less kind, but they had a tired look about them, a wistful look. Oh, that she might cheat herself into believing that their wistfulness was for her! But Marjorie was not the little fool her aunt called her. She was a woman, and was gifted with a woman's understanding. "He does not love me now, not as he did. I had my chance, and I said no, and now now it is gone for ever."
I remained silent, overwhelmed at this secret of my innermost heart, voiced by his bloodless lips as if a dream had come to pass, as if a miracle had taken place. He added, with an indefinable smile of an almost unearthly wistfulness: "I would have married your sister, my Juan."
At the mention of Samuel I could have sworn to a strange light in her eyes, and it seemed to me, as by some telepathic flash, that I divined in her a tremendous wistfulness, an immense yearning. It seemed to me that here was the key to her inscrutableness, the clue that if followed properly would make all her strangeness plain.
Brookenham had repeatedly asked herself where in the world she might have found the money to be disloyal. The Duchess's standard was of a height ! It matched for that matter her other elements, which were wontedly conspicuous as usual as she sat there suggestive of early tea. She always suggested tea before the hour, and her friend always, but with so different a wistfulness, rang for it.
There was an odd note of wistfulness in the harsh voice, and for a moment the handsome, arrogant old face softened incredibly. "I shouldn't have bullied you, Susan." "Yes, you would. You couldn't have helped it. You'd like to bully my little Ann into marrying Tony if you dared monster!" The grim mouth beneath the clipped moustache relaxed into an unwilling smile. "I believe I would," he admitted.
And she yearned to take the fierce head in her arms; there were tears she could have wept over it. He was snarling again, prepared already to battle, and for her sake. "Bart!" she repeated, more gently. "Lie down!" He turned his head slowly back to her and looked with the unspeakable wistfulness of the dumb brutes into her eyes.
I suppose I ought to feel resigned to it by this time." Mrs. Harlowe's smile hinted at wistfulness. "I am glad to be home again, too. I hope we haven't forgotten to buy every single thing you need. I imagine your wedding gown will come to-day. Let me see. It was to have been finished the day we left New York. We've been home two days.
"That was McCloskey, our trainmaster," he cut in. "And the other ?" "Was wrecking-boss Number Two," he told her, "my latest apprentice, and a very promising young subject. This was his first time out under my administration, and he put McCloskey and me out of the running at once." "What did he do?" she asked, and again he saw the groping wistfulness in her eyes, and wondered at it.
