"They all protest, woman-like, but they all come!" The watchful Swiss exile's heart fluttered tenderly in the far-off Lotos land at the arrival of a secret friend of her sage sister. She longed for the morning to meet her new friend. Alan Hawke's irresistible attractions had pointed the praises which flowed smoothly over the double crossed letter which had preceded him!
Yes, he had come down in the scale so low as to strike her. It happened only the day before there was the bruise on one temple she had offended his highness by asking for a little money to live on. And yet she must needs, woman-like, append a plea for her tyrant he was drinking; he had rarely abused her thus when sober.
Miss Calista, realizing with a flash of comprehension that he was escaping her, had a woman-like impulse to get a blow in anyhow; she grasped and hurled at her unceremonious caller the first thing that came to hand a bottle of peppermint essence that was standing on the sideboard.
They are parted, she, woman-like, dies, and he, man-like, sings an elegy. Even more to Immanuel's credit is his praise of his own wife. She has every womanly grace of body and soul. If this be the true man revealed, then his light verses of love addressed to other women must be, as I have hinted, a mere pose.
But around the man sleep a wondrous and ghastly troop, not of women, but of things woman-like, yet fiendish; harpies they seem, but are not; black-robed and wingless, and their breath is loud and baleful, and their eyes drop venom and their garb is neither meet for the shrines of God nor the habitations of men.
Mary Seyton was left alone, admiring that strength of character which made of Mary Stuart, in all other respects so completely woman-like, a man in the hour of danger. She immediately went to the door to close it with the wooden bar that one passed between two iron rings, but the bar had been taken away, so that there was no means of fastening the door from within.
What made her consent? she must have felt it in some sort a humiliation. Is it that Raeburn has been driving her to strong measures that she wants, woman-like, to win, and thought me after all her best chance, and put her pride in her pocket? Or is it? ah! one should put that out of one's head. It's like wine it unsteadies one. And for a thing like this one must go into training.
She mistrusted the man from foreign parts who, according to her husband's story, had already one crime upon his conscience who might, she feared, risk another, in order to be rid of a dangerous enemy. Woman-like, she thought the scheme a dishonourable one, for the law, she knew, is severe on the blackmailer.
She knew very well that by further reference to Mrs Tresize she risked cutting short the doctor's visit. Yet, woman-like, she could not forbear from just one more word. 'She keeps it under the bed. 'Keeps what? asked Doctor Unonius. The old woman chuckled again. 'Why, her money, to be sure hundreds an' hundreds o' pounds in a great iron chest.
With a gesture he divided the party assembled into two groups, the smaller of which consisted only of Kosmaroff and another. And then he looked out of the window with his woman-like, reflective smile. "We the Russians, and you the Poles. I fear I have not made myself quite clear.
