No doubt the sight of Pierre, wandering so distressfully in the gloom, had moved him. He pointed the vestry out to him, waited until he returned with chasuble and chalice, and then went off and fell into a sound sleep on one of the neighbouring benches. Pierre thereupon said his mass in the same way as he said it at Paris, like a worthy man fulfilling a professional duty.
Their faces assumed the awful craftiness of children listening for sounds from the grown-up world. All was as still as salt. Then everything was right. No, stop! Everything was wrong. Nana, who had been barking distressfully all the evening, was quiet now. It was her silence they had heard. 'Out with the light! Hide!
And while such an one is ploughing distressfully up the road, it is not hard to understand his resentment when he perceives cool persons in the meadows by the wayside, lying with a handkerchief over their ears and a glass at their elbow.

She was greatly confused when an old gentleman helped her to pick them up. The little mirror was broken. "Oh! it's bad luck!" she cried, staring distressfully at the old man.

But when Louisa saw him she raised her hands, and cried out distressfully that he looked like a monkey. That hurt him cruelly. He did not know whether to be ashamed or proud of his garb. Instinctively he felt humiliated, and he was more so at the concert. Humiliation was to be for him the outstanding emotion of that memorable day. The concert was about to begin.
"How long did you say they've been gone?" he asked, without looking at Bill. "Ten or fifteen minutes. Say, you can't do anything!" Dade was already half-way up the block, a swirl of sand-dust marking his flight. Bill stared after him distressfully. "He'll go and get his light put out and he won't help Jack a damn bit," he told himself miserably, and went in.
An aunt, two little cousins, an aged uncle at home and not a cent in the house! What could I do? He says he'll return it in three days." "And" Mary laughed distressfully "you believed him?" She looked at him with an air of tender, painful admiration, half way between a laugh and a cry. "Come, sit down," he said, sinking upon the little wooden buttress at one side of the door-step.
Richard blushed distressfully, and quoted the saying, that it would be the true comfort to hear that people went home, thinking of themselves rather than of the sermon.
