Either the master or the manner of this remark, which was made very ruefully, delighted Charley Bates so much, that his consequent shout of laughter roused the Jew from his reverie, and induced him to inquire what was the matter. 'Matter, Fagin! cried Charley. 'I wish you had watched the play. Tommy Chitling hasn't won a point; and I went partners with him against the Artfull and dumb.
In truth she was a woman and for the most part Roger McKay fighting man and very strong though he was looked at her in dumb worship, speaking little, his heart a-throb, and his brain reeling in the marvel of what at last had come into his possession.
O, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious, periwig pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings; who, for the most part, are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise: I could have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it out-herods Herod: pray you, avoid it."
"One would run the risk of many things rather than let one's strings lie dumb," said Hadria. "What a dangerous temperament you have!" cried Valeria, looking round at the glowing face beside her. "I must take my risks," said Hadria. "I doubt if you know what risks there are." "Then I must find out," she answered. "One plays with fire so recklessly before one has been burnt." Hadria was silent.
For if they have naughty, low, mischievous tricks in their nature, as monkeys have, that is no reason why they should give way to those tricks like monkeys, who know no better.

Deever was struck dumb with astonishment at the sight, and the doctor's eyes nearly fell out of his head. Byrnes smiled, and muttered "clever." "Which of these two men do you complain of, Mr. Deever?" he asked, enjoying the man's mystification.
The price of his success had been the sight of a face worth more to him than all else in the world. He had won something, but had lost everything. His hand stopped, his pencil fell upon the paper. He looked up to see her standing at his door! Dumb, unbelieving, he gazed and gazed. She turned from red to pale, before his eyes, and still he could not speak.
But after a while the Queen Atossa stood forward, saying, "For a while I was dumb, for the trouble that I heard suffered me not to speak. But we must bear what the Gods send. Tell me, therefore, who is yet alive? and for whom must we make lamentation?" "Know, O Queen," said the messenger, "that thy son, King Xerxes, is yet alive."
The boys veered their horses, taking to the western divide, and on gaining it, saw below them and at the distance of only a quarter-mile, around the springs, an Indian encampment of a dozen tepees and lean-tos. Dell and Joel were struck dumb at the sight.
That is a great mistake. Opportunity is all that is needed. There must be the inspiration of the clash of minds and the encouragement of good listening. In an evening round the fire, when couples begin, to whisper or talk low to each other, it is time to put out the lights. Inspiring interest is gone. The most brilliant talker in the world is dumb.
