Charnock stood looking at her with a half-embarrassed smile. "Bob!" she exclaimed. "I didn't think I'd ever meet you." "I hope it wasn't a shock, and we were bound to meet sooner or later. The distance between our homesteads isn't great." Helen had heard where his homestead was.
"My! he's a fierce old customer, that Buddha of yours," said Merrit. Yuki San paused in the filling of the rice-bowl and looked at him gravely: "Merrit San, do you know God?" "Do I know God?" he repeated, with a half-embarrassed laugh. "Yes, Christians' God, what you must love and love, but no never can see till die-time come. You know, Merrit San?"
It brings it all back," said Hugh, miserably. "I'm sorry if I said anything offensive sir, but " He gave it up. "You know I have a devil, sometimes." He gave a half-embarrassed laugh. "Offensive if you have said anything offensive?" Miss Fowler boiled over. "Is that all you are going to say, Winthrop? If so " Mr. Fowler lifted a warning hand. The house door was opening.
She smiled at the thought, recalling the Sunday breakfast, and then with a roguish look and a half-embarrassed laugh she said: "At all events you cannot deny that you did not kiss me when you left last night." "Didn't I?" I asked in amazement, and then, quite thrown off my guard, I added thoughtlessly: "I had forgotten."
"You don't hold me right, mamma," said Carry at last, after one or two uneasy shiftings of position. "How should I hold you?" asked Mrs. Tretherick with a half-amused, half-embarrassed laugh. "Dis way," said Carry, curling up into position, with one arm around Mrs. Tretherick's neck, and her cheek resting on her bosom, "dis way, dere."
He was half-embarrassed and half-amused, for it was obvious Jim did not know Mrs. Halliday, Evelyn, and Bernard Dearham stood on the top of the bank. He could not separate the men and did not think Jim would hear if he shouted; besides, to shout a warning would make the thing ridiculous.
"I come to you," said I, "without letters of introduction, because I hope that my name is not wholly unknown to you." "Who are you?" asked he. I told him, and Jacob Grimm said, in a half-embarrassed voice, "I do not remember to have heard this name; what have you written?" It was now my turn to be embarrassed in a high degree: but I now mentioned my little stories.
Jack blew a cloud of smoke from between his lips with a half-embarrassed smile. "Did I ever meet a girl whom I imagined might be my Mrs Wolff! Is that what you want to ask? Yes once! for a passing moment. We met, and I caught a glimpse of her face, and recognised it as the fulfilment of a dream. Then she disappeared. Romantic, isn't it, and disappointing into the bargain?
With a half-embarrassed smile, Bobby regarded that letter thoughtfully and carried it into the luxurious new office. He opened it and read it, and, still with that queer smile, passed it over to Starlett.
His business now is to shut doors; he has shut the door on himself." "Yes," she answered, half-puzzled, half-embarrassed. "He had an unsuccessful rival," said I. "Do you recollect him? A lanky boy whom nobody cared much about. Elsa, the grenadier is out of the question." Now she was agitated; but she sat still and silent. I moved and stood before her.
