Far about the ship the waves twinkled in green fire, disturbed even by the ruffling breeze. I drew up a bucketful of the water. In the darkness of the cabin it gave no light until I passed my hand through it. That was like opening a door into a room flooded by electricity; the table, the edges of the bunks, the uninterested faces of my shipmates, leaped from the shadows.
Whoever turns uninterested from "Waverley" is probably unable to see its excellencies or enjoy its peculiar charms. It is not a book for a modern school-boy or school-girl, but for a man or woman in the highest maturity of mind, with a poetic or imaginative nature, and with a leaning perhaps to aristocratic sentiments.
When, placing herself apart, she reviewed her life and observed herself with the critical eye of an uninterested outsider. Invariably then she would say to herself, remembering the wail and shriek and moan of the hideous winds: "I would leave them again, the winds and the child and him. If it happened a second time, and I again had the choice, I would leave them exactly the same."
"Those are the ghosts that dig o' nights! Go smell 'em, Trotters! Are they the enemy?" The dog sniffed the bones, but slunk away again uninterested. "Nothing doing!" laughed Dick. "You haven't laid the ghost yet, Tom!" "Have you got your pistols with you?" Tom retorted, patting his own jacket to show the bulge of one beneath it.
I was struck by the tired, suffering expression of even the young girls, a hopeless and uninterested look, in contradiction with their lively behaviour when unobserved.

Suzette left last evening in the best of moods I made the cheque larger and now I am awaiting Miss Sharp in my sitting-room I love this hotel it has an air of indifference about it which is soothing, and the food is excellent.
Add to this singular union of commercial advantages the circumstance so important in an India controlled by Englishmen that the climate, though warm, is perfectly wholesome, and you will see that Allahabad must soon be a great emporium of trade." "Provided," I suggested, "Benares yonder Benares is too close by to feel uninterested will let it be so." "Oh! Benares is the holy city.
Peter avoiding them and talking to them when needs must, with that distant, uninterested look and voice, was quite another. The next morning, Peter, after finding what a fifth wheel in a coach all men are at weddings, finally stood up with his friend.
If he had been acquainted with human nature, he might have read in it the dawning of a childish passion for balls, the dawning of sorrow and misery at the length of time before dinner and after dinner, the heavy traces of uninterested application to various arts, insisted upon by her mother for the elevation of her mind.
IT WAS destined that Napoleon should never enter Rome, and Mahomet never enter Damascus. What was the reason of this? They were not uninterested in those cities that interest all. The Emperor selected from the capital of the Cæsars the title of his son; the Prophet, when he beheld the crown of Syria, exclaimed that it was too delightful, and that he must reserve his paradise for another world.
