Shot after shot had been fired most ineffectively, and I heard expostulations and angry words used to the captains of the guns; while at every ineffective shell that burst far away a derisive yell rose from the crowded junk the shouts increasing each time. "Another broadside, Reardon," cried the captain; "and then we must run in as far as we dare.
Wigglesworth, important, fussy and unctuously impressive, welcoming, directing, introducing and, incidentally but quite ineffectively, seeking to inspire with respect for his august person a nondescript crowd of small boys vainly seeking entrance.
Streams of atomic bombs were exploding soundlessly, ineffectively in space, not thirty feet from them as they felt the sudden resistance of the magnetic shields. Hopefully, the 39 probed with her neutron gun. Nothing happened save that several gamma ray bombs went off explosively, and all the atomic bombs in its path exploded at once. Gresth Gkae knew what that meant. Neutron beam guns.
He went close-close enough to have brought a protesting cry from a grownup-lifted the rock high as he could and brought it down fair on the battered head of the rattler. The loathsome length of it winced and thrashed ineffectively, and after a few minutes lay slack, the tail wriggling aimlessly.
All of which meant so far as Jane Anne was concerned that an important standard of conduct grown-up, dignified, stately in a spiritual sense was being transferred to her present behaviour, but transferred ineffectively. Elsewhere Jane Anne lived it, was it. She knew it, but could not get at the part of her that knew it. The transmitting machinery was imperfect.
"Are you NOT?" replied Low dryly, leaning on his rifle for a moment as if waiting for Wynn to precede him. The preacher looked at him a moment, mumbled something, and then shambled feebly and ineffectively down the staircase before Low, with a painful suggestion to the ordinary observer of being occasionally urged thereto by the moccasin of the young man behind him.
In the judgment of the committee, it would be far wiser to organize the usual territorial governments for California and New Mexico. To these sensible objections, Douglas replied ineffectively.
In the dim light from a silken-shaded lantern a figure showed, momentarily, darting across the place before us. Again Harley's pistol spoke, but, as it seemed, ineffectively. I had little enough opportunity to survey my surroundings; yet even in those brief, breathless moments I saw enough of the place wherein we stood to make me doubt the evidence of my senses!
The nose, standing out in bolder relief, is handsomer and more distinguished. You see more of Mr. Hughes than you used to and you gain by the improved vision. Something has dropped from him, however, beside the ends of the whiskers. I met him first when he was about to run for President in 1916. An icy veil, like frozen mist, seemed to hang between us. We talked through it ineffectively.
He could see without looking that Doble was still struggling ineffectively in the grip of Russell. "Dave stumbled and spilt some coffee on George; then George he tried to gun him. Miller mixed in then," explained Hart. The foreman glared. "None of this stuff while you're on the trail with my outfit. Get that, Sanders? I won't have it."
