Some few men continued gropingly to try to do something, but the most of us were only too glad to get out where we could catch a breath. Almost immediately, however, we were hurried back by frantic merchants. "Save the goods!" was the cry. We laboured like slaves, carrying merchandise, fixtures, furniture, anything and everything from the darkened interiors of buildings to the open spaces.
Alce gropingly put out a hairy hand towards her, which was his nearest approach to a caress. Joanna flicked it away. "Now a-done do, Arthur Alce" dropping in her merriment into the lower idiom of the Marsh "a-done do with your croaking and your stroking both. Let me go my own ways, for I know 'em better than you can."
The cloak dropped from her shoulders, and the loose robe enveloping her fell away from a bosom that throbbed with the passion of a great despair. Nothing but silence. She moved to the wall like a little child feeling its way, ran her hand vaguely along it, and touched a crucifix. With a moan she pressed her lips to the nailed feet, and came on gropingly to the couch.
He did not follow except with his eyes. "Larfin' at us, governor," jibed the diminutive cockney, putting a rail between himself and Lewis. "The 'uzzy! The minute I lays my heye on that marm, I says, 'Blime yer, you ain't no lydy'! I say, governor, give us a penny." Lewis turned away and took a few steps gropingly, head down, as though he walked in a trance.
Madge walked gropingly over to her cousin and sat by her side, taking her hand. Then Lady Crawford spoke to Dorothy: "Your father wishes me to say that you must go to your apartments in Entrance Tower, and that you shall not leave them without his consent.
The rocky ground under our feet had a gentle slope, then dipped so sharply as to surprise us; and the entrance, diminishing at our backs, shone at last no larger than the entrance of a mouse-hole. We made a few steps more, gropingly.
Reverie has often held me all day because of one who has gone by and disappeared, leaving me a clear vision of her curtained room, and of herself, vibrating like a harp. She, perhaps, was the one I should have always loved; she whom I seek gropingly, desperately, from each to the next. Ah, what a delightful thing to see and to think of a distant woman always is, whoever she may be!
Having returned the light to the priest Gerald himself, while waiting for Brenda, took a melancholy religious attitude, his hat and cane held against his breast, and sent his thoughts gropingly upward, where the solitary thing they encountered was his poor mother in heaven. Heaven and the changes undergone by those who enter there he could never make very real to himself.
"I have no remembrance of ever seeing him before." "Is that not rather strange," I asked, steeling myself to the task, "after asserting that he was your husband? He is the owner of this vessel Philip Henley." She reached out gropingly, and grasped the back of a chair, staring at his face, and then glancing into mine, as though bewildered, suspecting some trick.
Deliberately from his grip, from beneath his very eyes, fate, the relentless, was filching his one ewe lamb; yet he gave no sign of the knowledge, spoke no word of unkindness or of hate. Nature, the all-observing, could not but have admired her child that night. One more advance the girl made; and that was the last. Before she had walked gropingly, as though uncertain of her pathway.
