You ought to be lightning fast." At that instant the boy called Legs opened the door and thrust in his head. "The chief says if you're coming at all," he droned apathetically, "you might just as well come now." Ogden threw a long bathrobe over his charge's shoulders as the latter started forward.
Dully, apathetically, Law lived on his life here at Montréal for yet a time, at the edge of that wilderness which had proved all else but Eden. Near to him, though in these guarded times guest by necessity of the good sisters of the Convent, dwelt Mary Connynge. And as for these two, it might be said that each but bided the time.
I told you I suspected that long friend of his of having made my acquaintance somewhat unpleasantly, and I therefore doubted of Clifford himself. Well, my dear friend, this Clifford is whom do you think? no other than Mr. Lovett of Newgate celebrity!" "You do not say so!" rejoined Brandon, apathetically, as he slowly gathered his papers together and deposited them in a drawer.
Nothing but a bare table and John Turner seated at it, in a much more comfortable chair than that provided for the client, staring apathetically at a date-case which stood on a bare mantelpiece. The lady's eyes returned to the portrait on the wall. "You used to have a portrait of Louis Philippe there," she said. "When Louis Philippe was on the throne," admitted the banker.
He sat on without turning, staring apathetically out of the window, just as he had done when he watched Varney cross and come in at his door. "I have come," said Varney, "because I understand that you are the sole owner, as well as the editor, of this paper. Am I right?" Smith lit a fresh cigarette, flipped the old one out of the window and paused to watch the boys outside fight for it.
There was reason for the editors refusing his stuff. He could see that clearly now, and laugh at himself and the dreams he had dreamed. Ruth returned his "Sea Lyrics" by mail. He read her letter apathetically. She did her best to say how much she liked them and that they were beautiful. But she could not lie, and she could not disguise the truth from herself.
The old man, with an unspeakable sense of relief at the failure of the talisman, crept back to his bed, and a minute or two afterward the old woman came silently and apathetically beside him. Neither spoke, but lay silently listening to the ticking of the clock. A stair creaked, and a squeaky mouse scurried noisily through the wall.
He waited apathetically while the clerk read off the charges against the vastly greater number of his fellow-prisoners arrested for drunkenness. When these were disposed of, he read from the back of a paper, which he took from a fresh pile, "Bridget Gallagher, complained of for habitual drunkenness. Guilty or not guilty?"
On the second day he went into Lulu's room, hoping to say a word of comfort to her. She listened apathetically, and turned her face to the wall with a great sob. He began to feel some irritation in the atmosphere of misery which surrounded him. It was very hard to be made so wretched for another's sin. The thought in an instant became a reproach. Was he altogether innocent?
Father Francis and Doctor Danton were in the dining-room when she entered, but their welcome home was very apathetically met. She was silent all through dinner, talking was such a tiresome exertion; nothing interested her. She hardly looked up she could feel, somehow, the young priest's deep, clear eyes bent upon her in grave disapproval, against which her proud spirit mutinied.
