The voice of the Bassett cut in on these mordant reflections: "Bertie." "Hullo!" Silence. "Hullo!" I said again. No response.
I'm a long ways from there." "And the men with you are gone." "How gone? Did they get 'em?" "Neither of them ever moved out of his tracks." "When I heard the shootin' I figured it would be thataway," Houck said callously. She could see in him no evidence whatever of regret or remorse for what he had done. This raid, she guessed, was of his planning.
In the midst of all that lovely, liquid music of running, trickling, fluting water, who could go on callously insisting that Laura resisted Petrarch merely because she was a fat married woman with a large family? All was green and pastoral here, and we seemed to have come into eternal spring after the bleak, windy plains encircling Avignon.
He begged to see her alone, and explained that he had to confess a great sin. "I ought to tell a priest," he said, "but I dare think that you will do as well.

"I don't believe you are callous, my dear," said Mrs. Murray, looking gently into Eleanor's downcast face. "Oh, I am ashamed, so dreadfully ashamed!"
"I'd hear the shot. I'd know what you were doing. It would be on my my conscience. I'd dream If he's going to to die, as you say, why not just leave him here?" An involuntary shudder passed over Stratton. It had all come back, and with a thrill of horror he realized that they were talking about him. They were discussing his fate as calmly and callously as if he had been a steer with a broken leg.
Not till the gray of a rain-washed, windy morning had come, and Naples had put off its merry sinning, changing from a city of pleasure to a city of labour and, too often, of callously inflicted pain, did Helen de Vallorbes leave the cedar-scented library. The fire of logs had burnt itself out upon the hearth, and other fires, perhaps, had pretty thoroughly burnt themselves out likewise.
