understand
That is to say, I did not take sufficient account of the fact that at that time of the day, what Mr Farraday enjoys is a conversation of a lighthearted, humorous sort. Knowing this to be his likely mood when I brought in the tea yesterday afternoon, and being aware of his general propensity to talk with me in a bantering tone at such moments, it would certainly have been wiser not to have mentioned Miss Kenton at all.
there was a natural tendency on her part to hint that there was a good professional motive behind her request
But you will perhaps understand that there was a natural tendency on my part in asking what was after all a generous favour from my employer to hint that there was a good professional motive behind my request.

What you should do - if you were sophisticated - was just give the glass a swirl and sniff, which would tell you whether or not the wine was off. So this was what Ollie took to doing, reducing his performance to a series of loud inhalings followed by a curt nod.
one of the girls didn't know what Ollie was doing
Sometimes if he thought one of the girls didn't know what he was doing he 'd go into a long explanation of why he hadn't actually tasted the stuff.

Mrs Menzies had died five years before, killed by malaria and stomach trouble from their time in Bengal. Menzies himself had a yellow face with a stained-looking flush on each cheekbone, and when he felt a bout of fever coming on, he drank to drown the symptoms.
Menzies was trying not to sound drunk
Now he looked over at Cameron taking stock of the quizzical lift of his right eyebrow when he looked out below his black fringe the down-turn of his mouth under his long curved nose and began to recapitulate his argument with care uncomfortably aware that Angus might think he was trying not to sound drunk.

Fernando drew away from her and Ruth scrambled to her feet, smoothing the creases from her dress. While he shook out the blanket and brushed down his trousers Ruth turned her pinched face towards the sea.
Fernando and Ruth join hands and spurt to the cliff-edge
She loved him so very much that if he suggested they take hands and spurt to the cliff-edge and plunge off the edge together like lovesick lemmings she would do it.
