When he himself was upon his death-bed he greeted his old friend Colonel Dyer he of the absent overcoat and over-shoes with: "Dyer, I'm almost gone. I am in the shadow of death. I am standing upon the very brink. I cannot see clearly, I cannot speak coherently, the film of death obstructs my sight. I know what this means. It is the end, but all is well with me. I have no fear.
This wound upon his head seemed also to have affected his brain; at any rate, he was unable to speak coherently or to do more than mutter something about "shipwreck" and "steamer Trondhjem," and to ask for water. Thinking that at least it could do no harm, Morris gave him a cup of soup, which had been hastily prepared.
We're the reserves, you know, and we've hardly smelled powder yet." After conversing with several of the soldiers and civilians the latter being mostly too unnerved to talk coherently the Americans made their way back to the quay with heavy hearts.
The minister had sent for her at once as soon as he had been able to secure her address from some letters found in the man's pocket. He had been conscious and able to talk coherently only a few moments since his attack. "The child is coming. She will be here," Mr.
Waymark was studying this creature, and found in him the strangest matter for observation; in Slimy there were depths beyond Caliban, and, at the same time, curious points of contact with average humanity, unexpectedly occurring. He was not ungrateful for the collector's frequent forbearance, and, when able to speak coherently, tried at times to show this.

The source of this latter shock was nobody less than Kate Croy Kate Croy who was suddenly also in the line of vision and whose eyes met her eyes at their next movement.
"I have wondered if you have thought so," a pause, "too!" Their hearts were beating too fast for thoughts to come coherently. The fever of madness was upon them, and numbed their wills so that they could not reach beneath the surface of their consciousnesses to find words for their emotions. Then also there was in each a deadening, flaming sense of guilt.
Geary, on the front seat, offered no conversation, merely looking back occasionally, as if to assure himself that his guest was still with him. After a mile or two, Marjorie began to think more coherently. She wondered what she would have done if she hadn't chanced to fall in with this kind, if rough, friend.
On the second morning the sea ran very strong, and by mid-day the gale had fairly come. All the fine descriptions of heavy weather in the Bay help one but little to understand what it is really like. It is hardly possible to think coherently about the enormous hurly-burly, much less to write or speak so as to make anyone understand how the masses of water move and how they sound.
The woman's story was pitiful in the extreme. "Oh, what shall I do, what shall I do! My home is gone! My husband is gone! My children are gone! And for what?" wringing her hands and gesticulating wildly. "For what, Messieurs? For being quiet, inoffensive, loyal people!" In my clumsy fashion I succeeded in somewhat calming the poor creature, and she proceeded a little more coherently.
