After a time, with a greater clashing of steel-shod feet on rock, he returned. The green screen was tremendously agitated. It surged back and forth in the throes of a struggle. There was a loud grating and clanging of metal. The man's voice leaped to a higher pitch and was sharp with imperativeness. A large body plunged and panted.
I managed to get hold of Georgie as she was crossing the rails, and packed her in opposite my mother and beside me, and was thinking myself so clever, when you sent that rascally courier for her! I never forgave him any of his behavior after his imperativeness on that occasion. And so she is getting nice and strong?
'Society, amusement, flirtation, are one thing, she replied with judicial imperativeness, 'marriage is another. In these democratic days we must know everybody; we should only marry our equals. The instant, however, the words were out of her mouth, she regretted them. Mr. Flaxman's expression changed. 'I do not agree with you, he said calmly, 'and you know I do not.
She led the way through the apartment which had been the drawing-room, and pointing to the bed, said, "That is for you; this is your bed-chamber." "Mine? I do not expect to need a bed; I mean to sit up with my father." "Yes, to-night; but not every night," she added, with playful imperativeness.
And then Miss Van Tuyn had seen Arabian's eyes turn to her as he had said, but rather doubtfully: "I don't know whether I am." Garstin's eyes had said to her with sharp imperativeness: "Keep him! You're not to let him go!" And she had kept her promise; she had gone away from the studio with Arabian leaving Garstin smiling at the door. And at that moment she had almost hated Garstin.
The close cross- examination she had undergone respecting Leach had convinced her of two things, firstly, that her new mistress, though such a childlike-looking creature, was no fool, and secondly, that though she was perfectly gentle, kind, and even affectionate in her manner, she evidently had a will of her own, which it seemed likely she would enforce, if necessary, with considerable vigour and imperativeness.
"What's got into you, anyway?" she demanded, with a lame attempt at imperativeness. "Jes' figures. I've ben doin' a lot of figurin' this week, an' it's most surprisin'." "I don't see what that's got to do with it," she sniffled. Johnny smiled patiently, and his mother was aware of a distinct shock at the persistent absence of his peevishness and irritability. "I'll show you," he said.
But," he said, pressing those delicate hands not as they were used to be pressed, with a hard seriousness and imperativeness, "you must tell me! I must have an explanation. There can be no delay or quibbling longer." "You hurt me, sir," she said with a little cry, and looked at her hands, "body and mind," she added, with one of her smiles.
They turned towards the rectory together, Newcome still asking abrupt questions as to the squire, the length of time he was to be away, Elsmere's work, parochial and literary, during the past six months, the numbers of his Sunday congregation, of his communicants, etc. Elsmere bore his catechism with perfect temper, though Newcome's manner had in it a strange and almost judicial imperativeness.
In either case the plain teaching of the text is, that by the might of a calm trust in God the whole mass of a man's desires are filled and satisfied. What do we want to satisfy us? It is something almost awful to think of the multiplicity, and the variety, and the imperativeness of the raging desires which every human soul carries about within it.
