With difficulty we found the English consul's house, as the Albanians speak no Serb and Montenegrins were not to be found at every street corner. At last we found it appropriately enough in the Rue du Consulat d'Angleterre. A gorgeous old butler resembling a wolf ushered us from the blank walled street into a beautiful square garden filled with flowering shrubs and creepers.
The weeks immediately following Dicky's departure are almost a blank memory to me. I seemed stunned, incapable of action, even of thinking clearly. If it had not been for Lillian, I do not know what I should have done.
He was saved from it by one or two kindly and genial friendships; by success in other lines, and by the happy consciousness that his presence at Saint Winifred's was a help and comfort to some who needed such assistance with sore need. One afternoon he was sitting disconsolately on a bench which ran along a blank wall on one side of the court, doing absolutely nothing.
'Cause we're goneter wait fer the other fishermen." "I hope they have found as comfortable a fishing-ground as we have." He studied Stubbs a moment and then asked abruptly, "What's the meaning of this fishing story?" Stubbs turned upon him with a face as blank as the cloudless sky above.
Even in America I could not get rid of my pedantry, as you will recognise clearly enough if you look back to the letters I wrote you at that time.

I glanced at the stone which had been removed, thinking, perhaps, that it might give me a clue to the date of the grave, but, alas, time and the weather had rotted the soft stone and it had come off in layers. The face of the stone was a blank, and the names of those who lay beneath lost for ever.
He followed her in, just in time to see the flutter of her skirts at the top of the stairway, but he could not call without making himself and her ridiculous. Confound things in general! Mr. Stevens joined him while he was still looking into that blank hole in the world. "Glad I happened to be here, Sam," said Stevens. "Jo tells me that your brother and Mr.
For hours she would stare at the wall, the blank, unresponsive, formless wall before her; and then, when the shadows of the evening fell, and they saw she was fainting from exhaustion, they would come with the needle of oblivion, and the dauntless soul would die for the night, and return in the morning to its pitiless task. Section 8.
He kept his eyes fixed upon the blank wall opposite, and effaced his individuality as far as possible. But after the first sentences of merely formal greeting, the wooden clapper of the interpreter's tongue vibrated back and forth with Cherokee only, for the Indian chiefs said nothing to be rendered into English.
