Seven men marched dismally out of the spaceboat and down to the floor of the huge hold. Eyes front, chests out, throats dry, they marched to the larger but still small vessel that shared this hold compartment. They marched into that ship. Thal barked, "Halt!" and they stopped. They waited. Hoddan came in very matter-of-factly only moments later. He closed the entrance port, so sealing the ship.
When the troops were fairly under way, and the brush burning along from continuous miles of road, the effect was grand beyond all that I had witnessed. The country people gathered in fright at the cottage doors, and the farm-dogs bayed dismally at the unwonted scene.
She had been quaking dismally all the afternoon at what she had done, but finding Maxley hard but just did not attack her for an involuntary fault, she now brazened it out, and said, "Men didn't ought to have poison in the house unbeknown to their wives. Jem had got no more than he worked for," &c.
His legs were, unfortunately, rather short, and since the lower part of his body was of a fine protuberant rotundity which the breadth of his shoulders and the thickness of his chest failed dismally to equal, he displayed an uncommonly exact resemblance of a perambulating pear. He had a rich expanse of fat cheek and a small, but dimpled, chin.
Asked Tex, glancing at the bulging pockets of Hopalong's chaps. "We're goin' to punch cows again, that's what we're to do," answered Bigfoot dismally. "An' whose are we goin' to punch? We can't go back to the old man," grumbled Tex. Salvation looked askance at Buck and then at the others. "Mebby," he began, "Mebby we kin git a job on th' Bar-20."
"There!" he cried, as they passed into the little room, Scarlett closing the door behind them, the hinges creaking dismally. "Now for the other door. I don't seem to mind so much now." "I don't think I do; but it seems very queer. What's that?" "Only me. I touched you with my hand." "It felt so cold on my cheek, it sent a shiver through me. Let's make haste." "You go first this time, then.
"Yes, I see the idea," replied Carthew, rather dismally, and the two incompetents studied for a long time in silence the complicated gear above their heads. But the time came when these rehearsals must be put in practice. The sails were lowered, and all hands heaved the anchor short.
At the top of the stairs I met Jimmy, very crumpled as to shirt-front and dejected as to face. "I've been hunting everywhere for you," he said dismally. "I thought you had added to the general merriment by falling downstairs and breaking your neck." I went past him with my chin up. Now that I had time to think about it, I was furiously angry with him.
As he strolled along the down, dismally smoking and pondering, he made himself contemplate the then and now taking stock, as it were, of his life. In this truth-compelling darkness, apart from the stimulus of his mother's tyranny, he felt himself to be two men: one in love with Diana, the other in love with success and political ambition, and money as the agent and servant of both.
She could not bear to think this bitter business fell usually to the lot of one so old as Jonathan, and made desperate resolutions to be earlier in the future. The fire was a good blaze before he entered, limping dismally into the kitchen. "Nance," said he, "I be all knotted up with the rheumatics; will you rub me a bit?" She came and rubbed him where and how he bade her.
