Bob, in spite of his strength and the excellence of his condition, reeled from sheer weariness and pain. They made no stop at noon. At two o'clock, or so, they left the last ranch and began once more leisurely to climb. The slope was gentle. A badly washed and eroded wagon grade led them on. It had not been used for years. The horses, now very tired, plodded on dispiritedly.
A ship that carried fighting rockets couldn't carry cargo. Cargo at the Platform was the thing desired. "All that's needed," said Sally, watching Joe's face, "is a slight touch of genius. There's been genius before now. Burning your cabin free with landing-rocket flames " "Haney's idea," growled Joe dispiritedly. "And making more ships in a hurry with metal-concrete "
As she swayed this way and that, the proud, graceful curves of her vigorous slenderness became more beautiful than ever. "I'm leaving tomorrow," the young man said, dispiritedly. Leonora turned around. She had found her orange and was peeling it with her long pink nails. "Tomorrow?" she said, smiling. "Everything comes if you wait long enough!... The best of success to you, señor deputy."
This was natural, for now the water was pouring into her box from both directions, and would continue so to pour until the hose coupled to Ward's engine had burned through. The water was fairly spouting up from the box, not merely overflowing. Her crew were still working, but raggedly and dispiritedly. Bert Taylor, his trumpet battered beyond all recognition, was fairly voiceless with rage.
Eve went to the fire and warmed her hands. "Well?" she said, dispiritedly. She was feeling nervous and ill.

She was just a little afraid of his self-confidence, and of this tall nobleman's habit of getting what he wanted, in the end: but she dispiritedly felt that Pevensey had failed her.
He used such bad language that Rhoda had no pity for him, and hearing her uncle style it "the London tongue," she thought dispiritedly of Dahlia's having had to listen to it through so long a season. Dahlia was not at home; but Mrs.

"Yes, David, you have them." A pause. The little boy was sitting up, with a bare foot held meditatively in his hand. A wee, forlorn figure of a child he was, who seemed to be listening to the silence of the room. And by and by he was asking dispiritedly: "You aren't you aren't afraid, are you, Mother?"
