His habit of silence, moreover, was not cultivated: you could see that "the secret of it" was just that he was BORN quiet. My note-book remained noteless, and finally, at some odd evasion of his, accomplished by a monosyllable, I laughed outright and he did, too!
Dear, not ours. I've stood upright all the time. I've proved the fallacy. A woman can stand upright and yet be wife, be mother, make home. Dear, you are not to ask me now for resignation." Therein, and through all the passage of this place where the footway was uneven, the light not good, the quality of her voice was low and noteless, sometimes difficult to hear.
It follows a life through all experiences and to the uttermost ends of the earth, pressing towards the light with a terrible, demoniac power. There are noteless lives, of course lives that accept obscurity, mechanically run their narrow round of circumstance, and are lost; but when a life endeavors to lose itself, to hide some conscious guilt or failure, can it succeed?
Rubrick mentioned some curious particulars, which reminded Waverley of a rhyme quoted By Edgar in KING LEAR; and Rose was called upon to sing a little legend, in which they had been interwoven by some village poet, Who, noteless as the race from which he sprung, Saved others' names, but left his own unsung.
Anne did not see Braden again after that momentous interview in the library. He had effaced himself. Now she sat in the window looking down into the street, dull and listless and filled with the dread of the future that had once looked so engaging to her. The picture that avarice and greed had painted was gone. In its place was an honest bit of colour on the canvas,—a drab colour and noteless.

Immediately he started up, and knew that they were faeries; for slowly all that jolly company melted into shadow and night. He hurried to the house of his beloved. As he drew near came to him the cry of the keeners. She had died some time before he came. Some noteless Gaelic poet had made this into a forgotten ballad, some odd verses of which my white-capped friend remembered and sang for me.
Not even in those volumes which afterwards charmed his country from end to end, did Gilbert see his brother in so interesting a light as in those conversations in the bog, with only two or three noteless peasants for an audience.
There, sunk in the ooze, covered with the shifting sand, bewailed by the wild cries of sea-birds, noteless and alone, I left Eben Jackson, and returned to the mass of pestilence and wretchedness within the hospital walls. In the spring I reached home safely. None but the resident on a Southern sand-bank can fully appreciate the verdure and bloom of the North.
And in a far more venomous and violent style, the noteless mob of contemporary writers. Shadwell, after all, was very far from being the blockhead these references imply. His "Third Nights" were probably far more profitable than Dryden's. By his friends he was classed with the liveliest wits of a brilliant court. Rochester so classed him: And compares him elsewhere with Wycherley:
