When he came back, ribbing his knuckles for warmth, he stood before the fireplace and ruminated dispiritedly before he spoke.

Dispiritedly, Raymond sat down and resigned himself to what he believed was the inevitable. Cameron regarded him critically as he might have a puzzling case. Then, having made a diagnosis, he prescribed: "Sorry to see me here, old chap?" "Why in thunder should I be?" Raymond glared. "No reason but then reason isn't everything.
Fence posts were strewn at all angles down the incline, and far down a horse was standing with part of the harness on him and with his head drooping dispiritedly. Her father she could not see, nor the other horse, nor the wagon. A clump of young trees hid the lower declivity. Lorraine did not stop to think of what she would find down there.
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.

She saw Leslie off in the morning with a perfunctory good-bye while cold anger and suspicion seethed in her. And later she put on her hat and went home to lay the situation before her mother. Mrs. Wheeler was out, however, and she found only Elizabeth sewing by her window. Nina threw her hat on the bed and sat down dispiritedly. "I suppose there's no news?" she asked. Nina watched her.
But to me, who had never known anything of my father, and had grown to know myself only as Phil Carré, the whole matter was amazing, and upsetting beyond my power to tell.
