"Oh, the madman!" cried Sixtus V., when he heard that the Duke had gone to Paris, "thus to put himself into the clutches of the King whom he had so deeply offended!" And, "Oh, the wretched coward, the imbecile?" he added, when he heard how the King had dealt with his great enemy. For the monarch was in his cabinet that May morning, irresolutely awaiting the announced visit of the Duke.
In the midst of armed men with visors down, a monk in cowl and gown, and with that firm look about the lips which is so characteristic in Luther's portraits. But here our party came up, and the vision was dispelled. As none of us knew a word of German, we stood rather irresolutely looking at the buildings which, in all shapes and varieties, surround the court.
The street gained, they paused uncertainly. "Won't you stay down and have dinner with me to-night, Emma?" "Thanks so much, T. A. Not to-night." "I'm sorry." "Good night." "Good night." She turned away. He stood there, in the busy street, looking irresolutely and not at all eagerly in the direction of his club, perhaps, or his hotel, or whatever shelter he sought after business hours.
Felicity opened the door, and stood aside to let him pass. He laid Lena carefully on her little bed and arranged her pillow, then turned toward the door. It was still open, though his wife no longer stood there, and he heard the diminishing rustle of her skirts. He stood looking first at the door and then back again at the bed, irresolutely.
Then on the other side of him he heard a voice, a sweet and rather high voice, with a musical intensity of inflection that was as English as the Union Jack. "Yes, it's sweetly pretty," the voice was saying irresolutely, "but I don't think I quite care to not at that price." "I I will buy it for you yes?" said another voice. "It is made for you so 'sweetly pretty' as you say." Billy turned.
It is not late; not ten o'clock yet." "A medical man, who may be called up at any moment, must make sure of his 'beauty sleep," "I will walk with you, and smoke my last cigar." So they went out, and up to Heale's. Tom went in: but he observed that his companion, after standing awhile in the street irresolutely, went on up the hill, and, as far as he could see, turned up the lane to Vavasour's.
She made no answer and he tossed down the package he had been holding, and went up to her. "I'm so sorry, dear... that this should have happened...." She threw her head back proudly. "I ain't ever been sorry not a minute!" "No." She waited to be caught into his arms, but he turned away from her irresolutely. The last glow was gone from behind the Mountain.
Harry Beaver stood irresolutely for a moment, and violently shook his fist at the man standing in the door. "Y-You'll p-p-pay for this!" He spit out words and cinders with gasping breath. Captain Pott went inside. He washed his breakfast dishes. He was by no means as calm as he appeared. The whole day through he fed the fires of his anger. That night he urged the minister to stay at home.
He walked slowly down the rickety wooden steps and across the road; then, after looking about irresolutely, he turned toward the weather-beaten little hotel. Before he had gone far the deposed station agent overtook him. He was smoking a cigarette with short, nervous puffs, and he fell in step with the Senator, evidently relieved at having a chance to talk. "What did you think of that?" he asked.
She was busy at the moment in packing up the American proofs of the Disraeli lecture, which at last with infinite difficulty she had persuaded Meadows to correct and return. "Well but of course this is exceptional!" said Meadows, pacing up and down irresolutely. "Everything's exceptional in that quarter," said Doris, in the same tone. "Oh, go, of course! it would be a thousand pities not to go."
