"I'll slice your heart into pieces of paper," thundered Paddy's prisoner, kicking and pounding. By this time I was ready to interfere. "Paddy," said I, catching him by the shoulder, "you have the wrong man. Leave it to me; mind you, leave it to me." "He's that small and black you'd think " he began dejectedly, but I cut him short.
"I'm damned if I can say it!" he decided dejectedly. Monck's fingers suddenly twisted and closed upon his. "What a funny little ass you are, Tommy!" he said. Tommy brightened a little. "It's infernally difficult taking you to task," he explained blushing a still fierier red. "You'll never speak to me again after this." Monck laughed. "Yes, I shall. I shall respect you for it. Get on with it, man!
But, in spite of her resolution to avoid the subject, Dolly could not help drifting back to Ralph Gowan. "Griffith," she said, plaintively, "you are very jealous of him." "I know that," he answered. "But don't you know," in desperate appeal, "that there is n't the slightest need for you to be jealous of anybody?" "I know," he returned, dejectedly, "that I am a very wretched fellow sometimes."
Now was the moment to cheer and encourage him; to reassure him as to his own undiminished powers and popularity, for he talked dejectedly of himself as obsolete and passing out of fashion; to convince him also of the impossibility that the ungrateful publisher whom Savarin's more brilliant successes had enriched could encounter the odium of hostile proceedings; and to remind him of all the authors, all the artists, whom he in their earlier difficulties had so liberally assisted, and from whom a sum sufficing to pay the bourgeois creditor when the day arrived could now be honourably asked and would be readily contributed.
"I am hungry again," said Martin presently; "I feel as though I could eat for a week without stopping." Adrian looked up from over his oar, at which he was labouring dejectedly, and said: "There are food and wine in the locker. I hid them there. Perhaps Elsa could serve them to those who wish to eat."
He walked about the park dejectedly, continually sighing: "Oh, my God! My God!" and at dinner did not eat a morsel. At last, guilty and conscience-stricken, he knocked at the locked door and called timidly: "Tanya! Tanya!" And from behind the door came a faint voice, weak with crying but still determined: "Leave me alone, if you please."
"How could I! But, Akim Semyonitch," went on Avdotya, who had raised her head but let it sink to the earth again, "you don't know, I ... kill me, Akim Semyonitch, kill me here on the spot." "Why should I kill you, Arefyevna?" said Akim dejectedly, "you've been your own ruin. What's the use?"
Zora found him humbly awaiting her on the platform in company with Clem Sypher, who presented her with a great bunch of roses and a bundle of illustrated papers. Septimus had received as a parting guerdon an enormous package of the cure, which he embraced somewhat dejectedly. It was Sypher who looked after the luggage of the party. His terrific accent filled the station.
"I merely mean," said John, with thaumaturgic airiness, "that the man is on his way to Rome to study for the priesthood." And he gave a thaumaturgic toss to his bearded chin. "Oh!" cried Maria Dolores, and leaned back against her eucalyptus tree, and laughed again. John, however, dejectedly shook his head, and gloomed.
When Iskender rose next morning from the bed on the floor of the entrance-hall which he had been permitted to share with the black servant, he saw a woeful figure in the doorway. A man, wrapped in a great cloak of camel's hair, sat staring out dejectedly at the daylight, which was greenish grey, the whole air seeming turned to falling water.
