"I do!" breathed Fanchon, softly. She seemed to him a fairy creature from some rosier world than this. So humble is the human heart, it glorifies and makes glamorous almost any poor thing that says to it: "I like you!" Penrod was enslaved. He swallowed, coughed, scratched the back of his neck, and said, disjointedly: "Well I don't care if you want to. I just as soon."
"I'll try when he wakes," said Okanagan. "You'll find some flat stones by the river. I want one with an open grit that you could grind a knife down with." It was long before Alton awakened, and then it became evident that he was not wholly sensible. Loss of blood, over-fatigue, exposure and hunger had left their mark on him, and while he rambled disjointedly a bitter wind sprang up.
We tried to map out excursions for the morrow; we puzzled over French "guides to Paris"; we talked disjointedly in a vain endeavor to make head or tail of the wild chaos of the day's sights and experiences; we subsided to indolent smoking; we gaped and yawned and stretched then feebly wondered if we were really and truly in renowned Paris, and drifted drowsily away into that vast mysterious void which men call sleep.
As he talked on disjointedly painting hard all the time, she had a vision of the Kendal shop and its customers of the shrewd old father, moulded by the business, the avarice, the religion of an English country town, with a Calvinist contempt for art and artists and trying vainly to coerce his sulky and rebellious son.
Why couldn't he have gone upstairs into the bathroom, where Hepworth always shaved himself, where he would have found everything to his hand? He had been moving about the room, talking disjointedly as he paced, and suddenly he stopped and looked at me. "Why in the dining-room?" he demanded of me. He was jingling some keys in his pocket.
The four men had already made fast her painter to a ring in the wharf wall, and were now lolling over the gunwale, staring down into the deep, clear water at the fish playing about beneath them, and chatting disjointedly as they sucked at their pipes.

"Oh, no, of course not if you really want to." "Thank you." He leaned across and kissed her cheek awkwardly. There was a little silence, then he said, angrily: "Of course, some people would call me an absolute blackguard!" She looked at him in amazement. "Why, what do you mean?" He explained disjointedly. "You're such a child and I'm nearly twenty years older than you are.
When three or four men had descended he bade them follow him, saying, weakly and disjointedly, but persistently: "My boy my son Robert came home came home at last here with Flip both of them come and see!" He had reached a little niche or nest in the hillside, and stopped and suddenly drew aside a blanket.
The new post-office dominated the row of shabby houses and "stores" set disjointedly under reddening maples, and its arched doorway formed the centre of Lynbrook's evening intercourse. Justine, hastening toward the knot of loungers on the threshold, had no consciousness of anything outside of her own thoughts; and as she mounted the steps she was surprised to see Dr.

At last he spoke, or rather muttered disjointedly, "Plen-ty to eat in the safe."
