And here Hapgood sank down wearily, muttering colorlessly that he could not and would not go a step farther. And they were still forty miles to the nearest cabin and bed. Conniston unsaddled the two horses, watered them, and staked them out to crop the short, dry grass. And then he stood by the spring, smoking and frowning at the barren brown hills.
"So long, Nort," he said colorlessly "The old man would burn his grass off before he'd let me have it." And he rode on, two problems in his mind, both growing more difficult as he drew nearer the home ranch. Problem One: Just what was Terry going to say? Problem Two: How was he going to pull his stock through?
He would have been glad of any interposition of Providence that would have availed him against his obvious duty. He would have liked to recall the words saying that there was only one thing for him to do, but he could not recall them and he was forced to go on. "Will you sell me your place?" he said to St. John, colorlessly. "Sell you my place? What do you mean?"
"Yes, yes; very fortunate, certainly," said the general colorlessly. Her husband gave her a glance of intelligent appreciation; but Kenby was too simply, too densely content with the situation to know the value of what she had done. She thought he must certainly explain, as he walked back with her to the Swan, whether he had misrepresented her to Mrs. Adding, or Mrs. Adding had misunderstood him.

She had a cold fascination in the picture Bessie's words had conjured up, and she was saying this less to Bessie than to herself. "And I should meet them his mothers and sisters!" Bessie dramatized an excess of anguish.
Mr. V.V.'s face was scarlet. "I see," said Cally, colorlessly, out of the silence, "you had already thought of me as one of those daughters.... Why not?" "Of you! Not in my life," cried V.V.... "I ... it's " "Why shouldn't you? I know that's what I am. You're " "Don't.... I can't let things be put upside down like that." His difficulties, in the unhappy moment, were serious.
"Oh I didn't understand," said Cally, colorlessly, continuing to look down at her pink fingernails. She seemed to think of nothing further to say, but that appeared to make no great difference. Hugo moved nearer. If he had remembered his thought about her being too sure of him, it may be that the sight of her had rushed his senses, as it had often done before.
The whole outfit's going to pot, an' I, for one, don't care how soon it goes." "Rather a nice way for a cattle foreman to talk about his ranch, isn't it?" asked Lee colorlessly. "Cattle foreman?" sniffed Carson with further expletives. "Now will you stan' on your two feet an' explain to me how in blue blazes a man can be a cattle foreman when there ain't no cattle!" "So that's it, is it?
Then, looking up with the expression of a deaf-mute, he asked colorlessly: "Well, Mrs. Burke, what may I do for you?" "You can do nothing for me but you can and must do something for the Maxwells," she replied firmly but quietly. "Don't you think it would be better to let Maxwell take care of his own affairs?" "Yes, most certainly, if he were in a position to do so.
Hewitt had decided Miss Maddox was to have charge for the day. The lively chorus of growls with which this was received cheered Joy's unregenerate heart. She did not stay to either soothe or encourage the rebellion. "I've told the maids," she said colorlessly to Gail, returning.
