"He's found," said Holden discouragedly, "a way to send messages faster than light. It's a detour around Einstein's stuff not denying it, but evading it. Right now it takes not quite two seconds for a message to go from the moon to Earth. That's at the speed of light. Dabney has proof we'll see it that he can cut that down some ninety-five per cent.
Why then wilt thou not wait his leisure? Obj. 4. But the want of it in the mean time maketh me go heartlessly and discouragedly about commanded duties, and maketh that I cannot apply things distinctly to myself. Ans.

Presently he began to feel bitterly sure that Ghek would reach his castle before he was overtaken. "This place he's heading for," he said discouragedly to Thal. "Any chance of our rushing it?" "Oh, no!" said Thal dolefully. "Ten men could hold it against a thousand!" "Then can't we make better time?"
So long as men interwine falsehoods with every seer's visions, both perish, and every civilization that is built on them must perish too. If men can ever learn to accept all their truths as not final, and if they can ever learn to build on something better than dogma, they may not be found saying, discouragedly, every once in so often, that every civilization carries in it the seeds of decay.
Thorn had speared a fish for Sylva with a stick he had sharpened by rubbing it on a crumbling rock. He was working discouragedly on a little contrivance made out of a forked stick and the elastic from his parachute-pack. He was haggard and worn and desperate.

"And if he failed if he tried, and put himself to shame before everybody, how would you feel?" "Well, mother, nobody as't him to." Nancy was silent for so long that the boy said discouragedly, "But if you don't want me to go " Her face hardened from the pity of her inward vision of the man's humiliation, as if his own son had judged him justly.

"Yes, I'm fond of the doctor," said George, frowning discouragedly; "but I'd rather take him alone, and not with a girl flung at me everlastingly. I'm tired of it. I didn't think it of Christian people, though; I thought she was above such things." "Now, George," said his mother severely, "that's a real insult to the girl, and to our friend too. She hasn't an idea of doing any such thing.
"I love her with all my heart," hotly. "I want her for my comrade, my wife, my companion, my partner in all I have or do. I love her, and I don't care a hang who knows it." "Not so loud, my friend; not so loud." "Oh, I do not care who hears," discouragedly. "This beats the very devil! You've got me all balled up.
"If I can do it; but I'm afraid, almost." "So am I!" with a funny look. These sudden changes of base were a characteristic of Miss Prue's; perhaps she believed, with Emerson, that "unchanging consistency is the mark of a stagnant soul." "But what else is there for you here, safe at home?" "Nothing," discouragedly. "If there was only a canning factory, I could work in that."
