Sidney glanced at K.'s little watch. "Must she see me to-night?" "She has been waiting for hours ever since you went to the operating-room." Sidney sighed, but she went to Carlotta at once. The girl's condition was puzzling the staff. There was talk of "T.R." which is hospital for "typhoid restrictions." But T.R. has apathy, generally, and Carlotta was not apathetic.
My flies must be bad; or, I think, P always takes the best place." And R pulled his fly-book from his pouch, and began to examine the flies attentively, one by one, from the largest to the smallest. "Your flies are very good," I observed; "but you have not application. Look at P ; he is part of that rock, apathetic to every idea of life, but the idea that he sees his fly."
She is no doubt as apathetic and indifferent to sentiment as all her 'set, but if I can prick her through her pachydermatous society skin, I'll do it!"
Telford drew in his breath sharply, caught his mustache between his teeth savagely for a minute, then let it go with a run of ironical laughter. He looked round him. He saw in the road two or three people who had been attracted by the music. They seemed so curious merely, so apathetic his feelings were playing at full tide. To him they were the idle, intrusive spectators of his trouble.
The night comes, and still the vain cry goes up, and Heaven seems deaf or apathetic. The night wears on, and still no help comes.
Lord Ingram, like his sisters, is very tall; like them, also, he is handsome; but he shares Mary's apathetic and listless look: he seems to have more length of limb than vivacity of blood or vigour of brain. And where is Mr. Rochester? He comes in last: I am not looking at the arch, yet I see him enter.
I find that sea-sickness develops the worst part of one's character with startling rapidity, and, as far as I am concerned, I look back with self-abasement upon my callous indifference to the sufferings of others, and apathetic absorption in my individual misery.
On the contrary, I had every reason to be predisposed toward him; and, indeed, was rather agreeably surprised than otherwise he was not nearly so uncouth and unpolished as, somehow, I had pictured his life would have made him. Do you understand, Jimmie? He was kind, sympathetic; and, in an apathetic way, I liked him.
She had been the leading spirit in work for suffrage in Columbia, the seat of the State University, where her husband was a professor, and in November, 1912, an organization was formed with Dr. R. H. Jesse, former president of the university, at its head. Though the State in general was still apathetic the women in the large places, especially in St. Louis and Kansas City, were alert and active.
He was fond of good eating and drinking, was an ideal whist-player, was a connoisseur in women and horses, but in other things he was apathetic and sluggish as a seal, and to rouse him from his lethargy something extraordinary and quite revolting was needed, and then he would forget everything in the world and display intense activity; he would fume and talk of a duel, write a petition of seven pages to a Minister, gallop at breakneck speed about the district, call some one publicly "a scoundrel," would go to law, and so on.
