Rupert thinks you're better looking than Miriam. There! Go and look at yourself." He waved her off, and the questions fell from her lips unuttered. She lighted a candle and went upstairs, but when she had passed into the dark peace of Jane and put the candle on her dressing-table, she found she needed more illumination by which to see this face which Rupert considered fair.
The gentleman slightly colored, who represents a fussy beadle, makes a flourish with his great staff. The doors of the dancing hall are thrown open. Like the rushing of the gulf stream there floods in a motley procession of painted females and masked men the former in dresses as varied in hue as the fires of remorse burning out their unuttered thoughts.
But when, through the door, the women filed, led by Sarah Grimké and Angelina Weld, the laugh was checked, the intended jeer unuttered, and deafening applause was given instead. The crowd fell back respectfully, nearly every man removing his hat and remaining uncovered while the women passed freely down the hall, deposited their votes, and departed. Of course these votes were not counted.
They went into the drawing-room and talked about indifferent things. No word of love passed between them; no word, even, that could bear an affectionate significance, and yet every sentence which passed their lips carried a message with it, and was as heavy with unuttered tenderness as a laden bee with honey.
When at last he let her go, the girl's face was changed almost beyond recognition. On her under lip showed a tiny drop of blood. A cry of dismay rose up in him, but remained unuttered. A strange intoxication overpowered him the red drop there was the seal of a friendship deeper and more mysterious than all else in a wild kiss he drank the blood from her lip.
Such, I imagine, is the invariable character of persons who crowd so closely about an original thinker as to draw in his unuttered breath and thus become imbued with a false originality.
Isabel Chester had been sitting apart from the group, passive and feeble, but now and then lifting her great mournful eyes with a look of unuttered misery to the face of young Farnham. The first of these eloquent glances brought him to her side. "Isabel, I will give up all, I came to renounce everything but you," he whispered. She shook her head mournfully and glanced with a shudder towards Mrs.
The inexorable clock would strike twelve so soon, and then the minutes flew till one was at hand, and the last words were still half said, the last good-byes still unuttered. "I must go!" cried David with a sort of desperation, as Letty clung to one arm, Christie to the other. "I shall see you soon: good-by, rny husband," whispered Christie, setting him free.
Given the time, she would rise above the mischief that confounded her. To have uttered the words that hung unuttered on her lips would have glorified him and brought shame to her pride forever more. Five words trembled there awaiting deliverance and they were good and honest words—"Take me back, Braden darling!" They were never spoken. They were formed to answer a different call from him.
He was brave about it, too, I remember; but he used to think to himself how sad and wasteful it was, that when he was most energetic and capable he should be put on the shelf all the fine work he might have done interrupted; all the great speeches he would have made unuttered.
