Still Captain Cai made no sign. "There's a house, f'r instance supposin' a man could afford the rental " 'Bias halted and regarded it. "Hullo, 'tis unoccupied!" He turned about slowly. "You don't mean to tell me as that's of it?" "That's of it," Cai admitted tremulously. After a long pause, "Bias," he stammered, "break it gently."
He noticed, as the old man sank tremulously into it, that his movement was like that of his own father, and also that he looked very much like Christine. Dryfoos folded his hands tremulously on the top of his horn-handled stick, and he was rather finely haggard, with the dark hollows round his black eyes and the fall of the muscles on either side of his chin.
Her son turned back. "Getting near train time," he added, not looking at his companions. "Guess I'll go upstairs." When he had disappeared his mother stooped slowly and kissed Jewel. "Forgive me," she said tremulously. "What for?" asked the child. "Everything." The housekeeper still stood in the harness room after Jewel had gone away. She bowed her head on her folded hands.
"Laws-a-massy, boys," he said, tremulously, to his triumphant sons, when the result was announced, the excited flush on his thin old face suffusing his hollow veinous temples, and rising into his fine white hair, "how glad Eveliny would hev been ef ef " He was about to say if she had lived, for he often spoke of her as if she were dead.
"Spankin' kids ain't a man's work, anyhow," he added, glancing meaningly at his wife. "Oh, Jake!" she cried tremulously, "you wouldn't think o' makin' me do it? I jist couldn't!" "Well, somebody's got to," said Jake, setting his teeth, "'cordin' to Susan an' the Dook. What does an old maid like her know about bringin' up kids, anyhow?" he added rebelliously.
Gregory's hand caught hers and, holding it tightly, smiling at her rather tremulously, he said: "I enjoy anything, darling, that makes you happy." "Ah, but," said Karen, her voice keeping its earnest control, "I cannot be happy with you and Tante unless you can enjoy her for yourself. Try to know Tante, Gregory," she went on, now with a little breathlessness; "she wants that so much.
"But you'll have to fasten it for her; it hooks in the back." Then she stopped; the fun went out of her face; her glance had fallen to his crippled hand. "I'm awfully sorry," she stammered. "Of course she can manage it herself; we all have to sometimes." But the little man was rapt in the gown. "I'll take it!" he said tremulously. "It suits you great, but, my! She'll be a sight."
And, oh, the time had sped too fast for her, and her heart failed her for all the things that remained unsaid all the kindness she had meant to give him, all the counsel, the courage, the deep sympathy, the deeper friendship. But her hand lay limply, coldly in his; her lips were mute, tremulously curving; her eyes asked nothing more. "Good night, Ailsa." "Good night."
"They are gone!" he said, tremulously "my sapphires. They are gone! Stolen! I had them in a bag round my neck, as you told me. They must have been taken from me when I was knocked down. I say," he added, quickly, "how about yours? Have you got them all right?" Involuntarily I raised my hand to my throat. A horrid qualm passed over me. "Thank Heaven!" I replied, with a sigh of relief.
Tremulously the singer's voice faltered in his throat to watch his song come gray-ghost-true before his staring eyes. With scant restraint the crowd along the walls pressed forward, half pleasure-mad, to solve the mystery of the apparition. Abruptly the song stopped! The dancer faltered! Lights blazed! A veritable shriek of applause went roaring to the roof-tops!
