Mildred was hysterically weeping and Henrietta moved to her side and with an arm about her shoulders soothed her and went on: "Sunday morning he motored over to my house to tell me that he might have to be out of the city for a few days and to give me some directions about matters here in case he should have to go.
Hopkins, Jim returned his greeting awkwardly and half hysterically. How he would have received the more timid Phoebe is another question. But Mr. Hopkins, without apparently noticing these symptoms, went on: "We're only just down, Phoebe and me, and as I guess we'll want to talk over old times, we'll come alongside o' you. Hold on, and I'll fetch her."
"The only decent thing you'll ever do will be to die and if those men of yours on the stairs move another step it will be your death warrant. Do you understand? I would suggest that you request them to stay where they are." Cold sweat was on Markel's face as he stared into the muzzle of the revolver, and his teeth chattered. "Go back!" he screamed hysterically at the servants. "Go back! Sit down!
The corners of her mouth were drawn down, her eyelids drooped, while her eyes were cast upward in a sort of sanctimonious squint. "Don't!" implored Loveday, almost hysterically. "Oh, suppose your face were to stick like that! You'd look the most abominable little Pharisee. I'd hate you!" "You like your pixie-girl best? Then, that settles it!
"I may not know! I may not know! Why must I be so hedged in? Why must everything be kept from me? I feel as if I were living in a maze of mystery. I must know the truth." She wrung her hands hysterically, but he soothed her and they talked in low tones until Wilkes suddenly appeared in the doorway and announced: "Mr. Henry Blaine!"
Corcoran Dunn, in the kindness of her heart, told her the "truth" that afternoon. But pride and indignation had prevented her giving way. Now, however, she broke down. "Oh oh, Steve!" she cried, and, turning to her brother, sobbed hysterically on his shoulder. "Oh, Steve, what shall we do?" Stephen put his arm about her waist. "It's all right, Sis," he said soothingly. "Don't cry before him!
Now get on with it, then, and I'll give you the surprise of your life. What are you here for?" "I am here to arrest that man, Philip Romilly, for the murder of his cousin, Douglas Romilly, Miss Wenderley," Dane announced gravely. "I am sorry." Beatrice threw her head back and laughed hysterically. "You'll never write a play like it, Philip!" she exclaimed. "There never was anything like it before.
Eleanor laughed so hysterically at the sight that she could hardly stand, but Polly dragged her along after the others until they reached Sary and Jeb. "Ah d'clar' to goodness, folks! This city is one big camp, all right!" vouchsafed Jeb, his eyes wide enough to pop at the great adventure.
Please go home with Elizabeth, Blair. Please!" "But Nannie dear, I want to stay," Blair began, gently; she interrupted him, almost hysterically: "No! Please! It troubles me. I would rather you didn't. I I want to be alone." "Well," Blair said, vaguely; he was too dazed to protest. Robert Ferguson yielded too, though with a little surprise at her vehemence.
"Let me see it," she said at length. Julia, who had brought it, put it into her hands. "I cannot, I will not believe that he is lost," she exclaimed; "your father himself is not certain. He will come back, I know he will, and he must never, never go to sea again. How cruel in those who have thus written to say that he is lost when they cannot know it;" and poor May laughed hysterically.
