Frank did not reply. He was still very sleepy, but he dressed, and with valise in hand dazedly followed me into the sitting room. The woman of the house was serving supper to her little family. To her I said, "You've been very kind to let us sleep all this time. We were very tired." "All this time?" she exclaimed. "Isn't it the next day?" I asked.
Of the eighteen boys who roomed on that floor fully half were in evidence, standing dazedly about in pyjamas or night shirts and shouting useless questions and absurd answers. Simms, who lived at the far end of the corridor, emerged from his room dragging a steamer trunk after him. Instantly the scantily clad youths dashed into their rooms intent on rescuing their belongings.
"But you mean a real marriage?" "Of course. Your child has the right to a name, dear. And, if you don't mind telling a lie to save our souls, and for her peace of mind, we can say that it took place some time ago." She gazed at him dazedly. Then something like suspicion came into her face. "Is it because of what I told you to-night?" "I had thought of it before. That helped, of course."
"Read it," she said. This is what we read: "Where on earth are you? Wait Rochester for us. Coming to-day noon. Gladys." It was sent from Indianapolis! We looked at each other dazedly. Gladys in Indianapolis? What was she doing there? Indianapolis was far out of our way, miles to the south. With the main roads marked as they were it was impossible for her to have gotten lost.
"Dead!" he muttered, as he ran his fingers through his hair dazedly. "Dead!" A strange thing happened. The mad light fled from the eyes of Doctor Q and the twisted brain seemed to become clear. Suddenly in the very field the old man knelt down and prayed a thankful prayer for his recovery. What was the strange power which Balcom had wielded over him, which death had snapped?
"Anything, DeLong." "And I never had a chance," he repeated, meditatively fingering the wires. "They broke me to-night. Danfield" DeLong turned, looking dazedly about in the crowd for his former friend, then his hand shot into his pocket, and a little ivory-handled pistol flashed out "Danfield, your blood is on your own head. You have ruined me."
He took out a piece of stout paper, folded twice, and a little white object fell to the table and rolled over several times, finally coming to rest with a curious suddenness. It was a small, carved, ivory skull! Theydon gazed dazedly at the skull for the best part of a minute. His state of mind was that of a man, utterly incredulous, who nevertheless thinks he sees a ghost.
The white-faced young wife lifted her head, and looked at him dazedly with drowned blue eyes. "There wasn't anyone in in that room, I know," she faltered. "It felt horrible being in there with with her all alone " "But near the room? In the main hall or in the little foyer where the telephone is?" Dundee persisted.
Then Beethoven came and rubbed himself against his master's leg, and Lancelot got up, as one wakes from a dream, and stretched his cramped limbs dazedly, and rang the bell mechanically for tea. He was groping on the mantel-piece for the matches when the knock at the door came, and he did not turn round till he had found them. He struck a light, expecting to see Mrs. Leadbatter or Rosie.
He asked dazedly of Johnny Nelson. "Ain't it funny!" he yelled sarcastically as he beheld Johnny holding his sides with laughter. "Ain't it funny!" he repeated belligerently. "Of course that four-laigged, knock-kneed, wobblin' son-of-a-Piute had to cut me out. They wasn't nobody in sight but Billy! Why didn't yu say he was comin'? Think I can see four ways to once?
