"What are you talking about?" "Do not tease not now. Tell me." There was an undercurrent of wistfulness in Betty's voice which touched the kindhearted brother. "Well, to-day a certain young man asked me if he could relieve me of the responsibility of looking after a certain young lady." "Oh " "Wait a moment. I told him I would be delighted." "Eb, that was unkind."
A swift change had fallen into the depth of her golden voice, a subtle wistfulness that sang with weird pathos, and the eyes raised toward the western rim of the forest were suddenly far and sombre. "Forgive!" said her sister gently; "I had forgot. I know the dream, but is it not better that we rest and gain new strength for another season? Here might well be home, here on this pretty river.
And closing the door, he took off his great-coat, seated himself near Philip, and bent both his eyes with considerable wistfulness on the neat rows into which Philip's bank-notes, sovereigns, and shillings were arrayed. "Pretty little sum for pocket money; caush in hand goes a great way, properly invested. You must have been very lucky.
Sheila was standing, one hand by her side holding her riding hat, the other, half raised to her hair, as if to arrange it when the shutter had opened. Her dark, keen face with its touch of wistfulness looked full at them. "What a nice-looking girl!" Kitty Wade exclaimed. "Don't you think so, Clyde?" Clyde agreed perfunctorily.
There he stood, this "show young man," well-groomed and smart in his full-dress uniform of second lieutenant of cavalry, the stripes and splashes of yellow suiting his dark skin: a slim, erect figure, not very tall, but a soldier every inch of him, though the wide-apart blue eyes gave the square-chinned face a boyish air of wistfulness, even when he smiled his delightfully childlike, charming smile.
She looked at him with a curious, gentle wistfulness on her lovely face. "Monsieur, it is not you whom I doubt. It is myself." "You mean your feelings towards me?" "Yes." "But that I can understand.

"At ten o'clock," said Bridget; "have the boat in the cove then, and we'll be down there and ready." "But they say, miss, that the Banshee is out on the nights when the moon is at the full." "The O'Shanaghgans' Banshee," said Biddy, glancing at Nora, whose face did not change a muscle, although the brightness and wistfulness in her eyes were abundantly visible.
Worse than this encouragement of childish wistfulness, instead of training for self-reliance and self-sufficiency, was the creation of a feeling of resentment which nearly always overtakes the objects of charity. People often complain of the "ingratitude" of those whom they help. Nothing is more natural.
Of course you don't believe anything. I don't myself. But you can't stand for ever and contemplate an abyss of utter ignorance. You must weave a little romance about it for the sake of your self-respect." She looked straight into the challenging eyes. The wistfulness was still in her own. "Then you are offering to weave a little romance for me?" she said, with a faint involuntary sigh.
"It was the kindest thing you could do," Babbacombe said. "Ah, but you mustn't misunderstand." A note of wistfulness sounded in the high voice. "You won't misunderstand, will you, Jack?
