Prettyman's death to the lady of the Manor now lay before Lavendar and his companion, and the thought of it weighed upon their spirits as they crossed the river. Carnaby also must be told. How would he take it? Robinette, still under the shock of the plum tree's undoing, expected perhaps some further exhibition of youthful callousness, but Lavendar knew better.
It was then, for the first time since the trial began, that Morris looked at this witness. All through he had been perfectly calm and collected, a circumstance which the spectators put down to the callousness with which they kindly credited him, and now for the first time, as Mr. Taynton's eyes and his met, an emotion crossed the prisoner's face. He looked sorry.
In a sonnet written to Bandinelli, he compares his own victims with the mangled statues of that sculptor, much to his own satisfaction. There is the same callousness of conscience in his record of spiteful acts that we should blush to think of stabs in the dark, and such a piece of revenge as cutting the beds to bits in the house of an innkeeper who had offended him.
Fear, suspicion, distrust, anger, envy and callousness paralyse its being and destroy its action, love, courage, patience, sweetness, generosity and sympathy are actual life-forces to it and to the body it inhabits. All the influences of the social world work AGAINST it all the influences of the natural world work WITH it.
His heart is seared and contracted by this struggle, the current of life sets toward the brain, and the callousness of the Parisian is the result the condition of things in which schemes for power and wealth are concealed by the most charming frivolity, and lurk beneath the sentimental transports that take the place of enthusiasm.
Unless there had been that something that had not come out something he had learnt later that excused even that monstrous callousness of hers. Yet what could there be? It had all been so planned, so cold-blooded. That shaving in the dining-room! It was that seemed most to stick in his throat. She must have brought him down a looking-glass; there was not one in the room.
A love-affair, the details of which had never quite come out, had indicated a heartlessness and callousness upon his part which shocked many of his friends.
Alone, with no eye looking, she pressed her lips on his forehead. Courant's callousness roused a fierce, perverse tenderness in her. He might sneer at David's lack of force, but she understood. She crooned over him, moved his hair back with caressing fingers, pressing him against herself as if the strength of her hold would assure her of the love she did not feel and wanted to believe in.
The poor law system then a new experiment in Ireland broke down hopelessly, and agitators were not slow to improve the occasion by denouncing the "callousness" of the Imperial Government.
The womanly instincts that under Aubrey's training had been suppressed and undeveloped had, in contact with the Sheik's vivid masculinity and compelling personality, risen to the surface with startling completeness. To-day she was almost desperate. His callousness of the morning had wounded her deeply, and a wave of rebellion welled up in her.
