In vain the summons was repeated, for his eye met nothing but vacancy, and not a sound saluted his ear. He walked to the bed, gazed with eagerness at the pillow which had sustained the head of the breathless Catharine, and then returned to the place where I sat. I had no power to lift my eyes to his face: I was dubious of his purpose: this purpose might aim at my life.
What with women, labor people, and the rest of it, he had no time for philosophy a dubious process at the best. A man who had to get through so many daily hours of real work did not dissipate his energy in speculation. But, though he had not listened to Felix's remarks, they had ruffled him. There is no philosophy quite so irritating as that of a brother!
And he looked down to his blunt-knuckled hands. "'S matter of fact," continued Haw-Haw easily, "he's right here now!" He looked again towards Mac Strann and remembered once more the drink which Mac might so easily have purchased for him. "It ain't Pale Annie, is it?" asked the black haired man, casting a dubious glance up and down the vast frame of the undertaker. "Him? Not half!" grinned Haw-Haw.
She wanted guiding and helping and putting in the right way herself. She could not preach to any one wrestle with any one. And ought one to make out of others' woes plasters for one's own? To use the poor as the means of a spiritual "cure" seemed a dubious indecent thing; more than a touch in it of arrogance or sacrilege. Meanwhile she had been fighting her fight in the old ways.
"Joan, Joan, I love him! Of course." But Joan sat with a dubious eye which quickly darkened into fear. "Oh, Munner, don't take us back!" Such horror and terror and sadness mixed! The tears rushed into the eyes of Kate. "Do you want to stay here, sweetheart?" "Yes, munner." "Without me?" At first Joan shook her head decidedly, but thereafter she quickly became thoughtful. "No, except when we eat."
"What if they get into a carriage that's already nearly full?" suggested the dubious Smith. "They won't do that," replied Jenkins with a laugh. "It seems to be against the laws of human nature to do that. As long as there are empty carriages in a train, so long will men and women pass every carriage that has a soul in it, until they find an empty one for themselves.
"Concerning our friend," Lamartine echoed. He seemed dubious, for a moment, whether to take me into his confidence. "You have not found Delora yet?" I asked. "Not yet," he answered. "And you?" "I have seen him," I admitted. "Are you disposed to tell me where?" Lamartine asked softly. I shook my head. "I have finished with the affair," I told him. "I finish as I began, absolutely bewildered!
And his own God was distant and dubious, and nothing that modern science had taught him was yet registered in his organism. Could he even transmit it to descendants? What was it Weismann said about acquired characteristics? No, certain races put forth certain beliefs, and till you killed off the races, you could never kill off the beliefs.
Presently Giraffe halted, to draw out a red bandana handkerchief with which to wipe his dripping forehead, while he stared hard at the object he had before him, and looked dubious enough. Thad saw now what it was, and he could hardly keep from laughing as the determined boy once more started sawing away as though his very life depended on his accomplishing the end he had in view.
He was most anxious to return to the world again, but he had difficult cards to play. His master was even more dubious than usual about everything. Granvelle was ready to remain in Burgundy as long as Philip chose that he should remain there.
