Still standing with his shoulders leaning against the mantel-piece, Eric told her slowly and colourlessly of the belated cheque. At the end she sat watching him in silence. She too, surely, was trying to convince herself that this was what she had always expected. . . . "That's all I know. That's all his people know," he added. "But October. . . . June. . . . Why hasn't he written?"
The dreams passed colourlessly; I put colouring touches to the figures seen in them afterward, when I was cooler, and could say, 'What is the use of fancying things? yet knew that fancying things was a consolation. By such means I came to paint the mystery surrounding my father in tender colours.
I couldn't have to her the manner of treating it as a mere detail that I was face to face with a part of what, at our last meeting, we had had such a scene about; but while I was trying to think of some manner that I COULD have she said quite colourlessly, though somehow as if she might never see me again: "Good-bye. I'm going to take my walk." "All alone?"
"There are lots of yellow envelopes," he answered colourlessly, his eyes sharp points of light upon hers. "What about it?" "I am not a lady detective," she smiled back, taking a sudden keen delight in the knowledge that she had taken the right tack, and that she was puzzling Pollard. "But it is quite obvious that you've got your money back! Why didn't you tell me?"
Fact is more fascinating than fiction. If one could know what is going on around him, how surprised and startled he would be. If we could get all the facts in any one incident, and get them colourlessly, and have the judgment to sift and analyze accurately, what fascinating instances of the power of prayer would be disclosed. There is a double side to this story.
Do you want me to go and get him for you?" The girl stood by her father's chair a moment and then answered colourlessly: "No, father, I don't want you to get him for me. I am not moping for him, as you call it." Her desolate tone reached some chord in his very heart, for he caught her hand, and put it to his cheek and said softly, "But she loves him my poor little girl loves him?"
Now I am utterly powerless! As though all my blood had gushed out. I have lived until this day, and still thought that now I will speak the truth. Well, I have spoken it." He talked monotonously, colourlessly, and his speech resembled that of one in delirium. "I have spoken it, and I have only emptied myself, that's all. Not a trace have my words left behind them. Everything is uninjured.
The man, colourlessly uncouth, was drinking beer out of a glittering glass; the woman, rustic and placid, leaning back in the rough chair, gazed idly around. There is little logic to be expected on this earth, not only in the matter of thought, but also of sentiment. I was surprised to discover myself displeased with that unknown young man. A week had gone by since they met.
"Well," continued Whitney, still confidential, "we haven't got the dagger that's all. There I never actually asserted that before, though I've given every one to understand that our plans are based on something more than hot-air. We haven't got it, and we never had it." "Then who has it?" asked Kennedy colourlessly. Whitney shook his head. "I don't know," he said merely.
Talcott read, had been putting back the disordered strands of her hair, adjusting her laces, and dabbing vaguely with her handkerchief at the splashes of ink that disfigured the front of her dress thereby ruining the handkerchief; she looked up sharply now. "I deny that it is a long way off the truth." "A long way off," Mrs. Talcott repeated colourlessly; "but I guess it'll have to do.
