Vyesovshchikov took a big potato, heavily salted a slice of bread, and began to chew slowly and deliberately, like an ox. "And how are matters here?" he asked, with his mouth full. When Andrey cheerfully recounted to him the growth the socialist propaganda in the factory, he again grew morose and remarked dully: "It takes too long! Too long, entirely! It ought go faster!"
Boris clung more tightly to Billy's arm and pulled himself up; the upper part of his body rested on her, his face quite close to hers, and now he kissed her with dry hungry lips. "Yes," he whispered, "everything will be well if you but wish it so. But I am so terribly afraid of one thing ..." "You are afraid too," replied Billy dully, "well, then "
And meanwhile I am throwing out the ideas as they come, careless if the second appears to contradict the first: presently a unity may come of them; meanwhile, for the purposes of the Fifth Root-Race, then nascent, a language-type had grown up, intellectual as any in Atlantis, because this Fifth Race was to be intellectual too, but also spiritual: not without tonalistic elements: a thing to be chanted, and not dully spoken: and there, when the time came for, it to be born, you had the Sanskrit.
She dragged herself back into bed and lay there, gazing dully up at the ceiling, suffering no pain... only so tired. She did not speculate about it. Somehow it did not interest her very much.

"Not even van Manderpootz can bring back the dead," he murmured. "I'm sorry, Dick. Take your mind from the affair. Even were my subjunctivisor available, I wouldn't permit you to use it.

"It is a friend of mine, an officer of the garrison who has ridden over.
The vast distance which separated their bodies from Sanus was annihilated, literally as quick as thought. Neither of the four stirred. To all appearances they were fast asleep. The room was quite still; only the clock ticked dully on the wall. Down- stairs, the doctor's wife kept watch over the house. The greatest marvel in creation, the human mind, was exploring the unknown.
The Master-Attendant's voice vibrated dully with hoarse emphasis. The man actually had the luck to win the second prize in the Manilla lottery.

Everybody expected now that he would take himself off home with his money, and go to the devil in his own way. Not at all.
He poured out another glass of cognac from the graduated carafe in front of him and sipped it slowly. Then he gazed at me dully, almost for the first time, and said: "Madame Brandt owes me fifteen sous." "And I say that she doesn't!" cried the dwarf fiercely. "I send for him to discuss matters of the deepest gravity, and he comes talking about his fifteen sous.
"Do you guess that I have something to tell you?" she said, slowly. "Something to tell me?" he repeated, dully.
