"Don't dare to look at me with your sympathy! Walk about the room, say something, talk...." Shatov began muttering something again, like one distraught. "What do you do here?" she asked, interrupting him with contemptuous impatience. "I work in a merchant's office. I could get a fair amount of money even here if I cared to, Marie." "So much the better for you...."
'Ah, madam; let me run and see monsieur the notary. Let me just ask him, and hear from his lips that it is true! So she ran out into the town, with her apron over her head, and Marie made the breakfast. The Russian lady came down to talk it over. 'The pretty child is distraught, and at so small a piece of good fortune! said she. But when Céleste came in she was more composed.
It struck upon Montezuma's tall shape, on his distraught countenance and thin hands as he waved them to and fro in his prophetic agony, on my glittering garments, and the terror-stricken band of courtiers, and the musicians who had ceased from their music. A little wind sprang up also, moaning sadly in the mighty trees above and against the rocks of Chapoltepec.
"You are distraught with very grief," said the good father, the tears running down his own cheeks; "that is Brother Thomas, the best artilleryman in France, and Flavy's chief trust with the couleuvrine. He came in but four days agone, and there was great joy of his coming." Thus was the Maid taken, by art and device of the devil and Brother Thomas, and in no otherwise.
Birdalone was still somewhat distraught, but she knew not how to naysay him, though at heart she would liefer have gone back to the castle by the shortest way. So folk brought her her palfrey, and they rode their ways, the castellan ever by her side.

Unto their sincerity hath borne witness what the All-Merciful hath sent down in the Qur’án. He saith: ‘Wish ye, then, for death, if ye are sincere.’ Who is to be preferred, he that hath sheltered himself behind curtains, or he that hath offered himself in the path of God? Judge thou fairly, and be not of them that rove distraught in the wilderness of falsehood.
There were days when I did not go near it at all, when I was weak, or distraught. But I knew that every day I was closer to the task, that every day my heart was more full of it. It was like wild music it came to a climax that swept me away in spite of myself.
I sure ain't got nobody else " The distraught creature's sobs prevented further speech, and she dropped down on the ground, weak and exhausted; her poor twisted body shaking and writhing with the emotion she could not voice. For a little while, Brian Kent himself was as helpless as Judy. He could only stand dumbly, staring at her as she crouched at his feet.
A good Englishman honour for ever to his name! jumped into the water, swam a quarter of a mile, and, by heaven's grace, escaped the wicked sea-tigers and saved the unhappy distraught woman. That man's name is Cavell: and I think of "nobility" in connection with him, and not in connection with the manikins who rush over Epsom Downs.
