"I have no money," said Edith, helplessly; "that is, not more than a few sovereigns. I did not think of that." "No money?" "No only a little." "No money! Why, how is that? No money? Why, what can you do?" "Wiggins manages every thing, and has all the money." "You have never obtained any from him as yet, then?" "I have never needed any." "He spends your own money in paying these spies and jailers.
Let her get along the best way she can." So, when assembly was over, Jerry found herself drifting helplessly, forlornly elbowed here and there, too shy to ask questions, valiantly trying to beat down the desire to run away. She envied the assurance with which the others, even the new girls, seemed to know just where they ought to go.
"No," he said sensibly. He killed the words she had ready for him: she felt them fall, dead things, into her throat, and hang helplessly in her breast. She handed him the cup, and while he drank she stood beside the table and watched him with despair and indignation.
He gazed long and earnestly at the scene around him, and then fixing his eyes upon Ah Ben, helplessly, said: "If then I am to understand that this is no longer real, but that the old ruin just beheld is the existing fact, might I ask in what part of the wreck you and Miss Guir have been able to fix your abode, for I saw nothing but crumbling walls a roofless ruin?"
"Good Lord!" "Me spik English, too," murmured the squaw sweetly. "Well, I'm bunco'ed!" Torrance rolled his eyes helplessly. "Take a hand, Tressa.

By the time he reached his home among the hemlocks the sun was shining brightly—for the rain had stopped before daybreak. Solomon wondered how he would ever succeed in reaching his doorway, high up in the hollow tree. He gazed helplessly upward. And as he sat there mournfully the bright sunshine melted the ice that bound his wings. After a time he discovered that he could move freely once more.
Its visor was up, and what I saw within the casque is stamped for ever on my memory. It was the face of the dead the long since dead with the expression the subtly hellish expression of the living. As I gazed helplessly at it, it bent lower. I threw up my hands to ward it off. There was a loud rap at the door. And as my maid softly entered to tell me tea was ready it vanished.

Just as the last gleam of the blood-red sky which reflected the setting sun was swallowed up in the swirling masses of ice motes, Peoria Red sank beside the track, and although I tried everything to cause him to realize his danger if he failed to follow me, he keeled helplessly over into the snow, while a glassy stare in his half-shut eyes told me that he was doomed.
