They talked, instead, disjointedly upon things which, though they interested them mightily, were not near their hearts as is the Hill to the Harrovian. They had both come to a decision, which, however, left them in nowise comforted. Ben Kelham decided as he walked about the tent that not a word about the anonymous letter or the courtesan should pass his lips.
"I should be an ass not to: I've got a wire here saying they must have it for another month at any price." "What luck! I'm so glad. Who are they, by the way?" He drew himself up out of the long chair in which he was disjointedly lounging, and looked down at her with a smile.
SHACK THOMAS, Centenarian Beady-eyed, grey-whiskered, black little Shack Thomas sits in the sun in front of his hut on the Old Saint Augustine Road about three miles south of Jacksonville, 102 years old and full of humorous reminiscences about most of those years. To his frequent visitors he relates tales of his past, disjointedly sometimes but with a remarkable clearness and conviction.
Yolanda was not present at supper, but she appeared soon after we had risen. We sat under the dim light of a lamp in the long room. Yolanda was on the cushioned bench in the shadow of the great chimney, silently clasping Twonette's hand. Twonette, of course, was silent and serene. Castleman and I talked disjointedly, and Max sat motionless, gazing through the window into the night.
He spoke disjointedly one day and wove reality and imagination together. "Much good marble is wasted on graves," he declared. "But it doesn't bring the dead to life. Do you believe in the resurrection of the body, Estelle? I hope you find it easy. That is one of the things I never was honestly able to say I had grasped. Reason will fight against the nobler tyranny of faith.
He tried to speak but words failed him. And presently she spoke again, hurriedly, disjointedly. "I am helpless. I can do nothing for Gillian. I could have left her money in my will, despite her pride she would have had to accept it. I can't even do that. At my death all I have, as you know, goes back into the estate. I have never saved anything there never seemed any reason.
"She was in Mortlake's car, you know," said Jimmy again, disjointedly. Sangster nodded. "He'll be shockingly cut-up," said Jimmy again. "I hated the chap; but he was really fond of her." "Yes." Jimmy's cigarette had gone out again, and he relit it absently. "Christine will never believe that it hasn't broken my heart," he said in a queer voice. No answer. "You won't believe it either?" he said.
"Not," said Stair, speaking disjointedly, "not because you wanted to marry me not because you loved me?" "Oh, I wanted to marry you! Yes, I wanted that. I needed you to help me to do what I could not do in any other way. But wait a while. Neither you nor I know what love means yet. I certainly do not. I am too young. Meanwhile, you are the most dependable person in my world.
As the two on board stood watching the yacht make fast, conversing, if the truth be known, somewhat disjointedly, they were astonished to see the great form of a man rise from a grassy bed a little way back from the river-bank and advance towards them. "Why, look!" said Mary. "There's Mr. Maginnis! I thought he'd gone to town long ago." Varney did not answer her.
But don't attach too much significance to the circumstance. She gives sprays of mignonette to the rector, sprays to the lieutenant. She has even given a rose from her bosom to your slave. It is her jocund nature to scatter flowers, like Spring. If my letters sometimes read disjointedly, you must understand that I never finish one at a sitting, but write at intervals, when the mood is on me.
