The messenger and his message started vaguely toward the door of Mr. Hurd's private office, and for an awkward moment no sound came forth. "He says to come in," said South Framingham, reappearing.
Mr. Travers muttered audibly through his teeth: "How long is this performance going to last? I have desired you to go." "Think of these poor devils," whispered Lingard, with a quick glance at the crew huddled up near by. "You are the kind of man I would be least disposed to trust in any case," said Mr. Travers, incisively, very low, and with an inexplicable but very apparent satisfaction.
I shouldn't" significantly "call it cheering. I've been back in England a month, alone in the damned desolation of Dartmoor, fighting fighting to keep away from you." She looked at him with steady, scrutinising eyes. "Why need you have kept away?" she asked incisively. "At the bidding of the great god Circumstance.
"I think," replied Olga Lermontof incisively, "that it would be very dishonourable of him if he tried to to make you care for him." She moved towards the door as she spoke, and Diana followed her. "But why why do you tell me this?" she faltered. The Russian's queer green eyes held an odd expression as she answered: "Perhaps it's because I like you very much better than you do me.
The native American, it may be well to remember, is something of an observer himself. If his observations upon the characteristics of his countrymen are less piquant than the foreigner's, it is chiefly because the American writes, upon the whole, less incisively than he talks.

When Patsy subsided for the very good reason that there was nothing else which he could throw out, Chip took the matter up with him and told him quite plainly some of the duties of a cook, a few of his privileges and all of his limitations.
When he spoke again it was hardly, incisively, as a man speaks the truth he hates. "Do you know what this means? It means waiting." "Waiting?" "Yes. I'm not a bit well off, you know; I couldn't give you the sort of home you ought to have just yet. I'd no business to say anything about it; but somehow I thought you'd rather know. And of course I've no business to ask you, but will you wait?"
The lady passes through a short phase of collapse from despair over man's faculties, then returns to a difficult task crisply and incisively. "Well, at any rate, you can see this? The girl's got it into her head that the accident was our fault, and that it's her duty to make it up to him." "But, then, she's not really in love with him, if it's a self-denying ordinance."
