On the evening of the murder, about half-past six o'clock, or perhaps a quarter of seven, while I was busy in the day nursery over my duties, my lady came in, as she often did, though not at that hour. She looked pale and flurried, and bent over baby, who lay asleep, without speaking.
She is dressed for dinner, has indeed taken most particular pains with her toilet, if only to hide the ravages that these past three hours of bitter weeping have traced upon her beautiful face. She looks sad still, but calm and dignified. Dora is dressed too, but is looking flurried and flushed. "I beg your pardon," she says; "but my letter the letter I showed you to-day have you it?"
Morrell's partner came in, looking very flurried. Before he could say a word, Mrs. Morrell began reproachfully to chide him with lack of diligence. "I've been waiting just rooted to this spot!" she said truthfully. "Shall we dance?" suggested the unfortunate young man. "It's nearly over," replied Mrs. Morrell carelessly. "Do sit down with us. Get yourself something to drink.
There, in that cheerless room, which not even the splashes of sunlight falling from the high-placed windows upon the whitewashed wall could help to gladden, I stood a little sullenly what time she first upbraided me and then wept bitterly, sitting in her high-backed chair at the table's head. At last Gervasio came, anxious and flurried, for already he had heard some rumour of what had chanced.
He brought also a letter from the young lady for Lorand. "From the young lady?" Lorand took the letter from him and told him to take the cloak up to the guest's room. He himself hastened to his own room. As he passed through the saloon, Gyáli met him, coming from Czipra's room. The dandy's face was peculiarly flurried.
The autumn came, the woods turned to gold, the sea was flurried with rain, and the Church began to fill the horizon. The autumn and the winter were the times of the Church's High Festival.
The big man, so cool and nonchalant a minute or so before, fanned himself with the pocket-handkerchief, and turned red, and went white, and went red, and turned white half a dozen times, in twice as many beats of his flurried pulse. " Out at last, Saxham, and that's why I've been gulpin' and blunderin' and bogglin' for the last ten minutes. Poof!" Major Bingo exhaled a vast breath of relief.
These curious, short, far-sounding calls may be mere evidences of intention, or they may be a sort of signal by means of which the various hunters keep in touch. After a little they cease. Then one is quite likely to hear the petulant, alarmed barking of zebra, or to feel the vibrations of many hoofs. There is a sense of hurried, flurried uneasiness abroad on the veldt.
She came to him instantly, her face like a colorless flower, a faint shadow in her eyes. "Colleen!" said Kenny. He kissed her gently. Again he was conscious with a flurried feeling of impatience that the force of his tenderness would not rise to his lips. He whose words of love had been so fluent and poetic! "Hannah sent me," said Joan.
Of course we think you tremendously clever; and I met one of your dons at tea, and he said that your degree was not in the least a proof of your abilities: he said that you knocked up and got flurried in examinations. Oh!" her cheek flushed, "I wish I was a man. The whole world lies before them. They can do anything. They aren't cooped up with servants and tea parties and twaddle.
