And for a little minute, she said naught unto me, the while that I did ask how she did be; and she lookt at me very keen, so that I wondered some wise in a daze, what was in her mind. And she askt me, of a sudden, how long it did be since that I had slept.
But though the references in the sermon to that unhappy object of interest in the front pew were many and pointed, his time had not really come until the minister signed to him to advance as far as the second step of the pulpit stairs. The nervous father clenched the railing in a daze, and cowered before the ministerial heckling.
Next I saw Miriam was the following day. I met her in the court of Pilate's palace. She seemed in a dream. Scarce her eyes saw me. Scarce her wits embraced my identity. So strange was she, so in daze and amaze and far-seeing were her eyes, that I was reminded of the lepers I had seen healed in Samaria. She became herself by an effort, but only her outward self.
Like a man in a daze he dismissed his car, crossing pavements under Peter's guiding until he came to the building where the fortunes of the great Thorold mercantile business were administered.
Our hero was a good deal excited as he examined the object in his hand. He thrust it into his pocket with quite a thrill of satisfaction. He then went closer to the suffering Dan. The man seemed to have dropped into a deep daze or sleep. Frank realized that he could do nothing for him until he was removed to some place where skilled surgical aid could be summoned.
In a daze he listened to the dry, hoarse voice as it continued: "Oh, I know all right. He kept me stupefied.

All because Captain Holliday didn't give me the injection properly." "Holliday?" He wondered if he had heard aright.
Men rush from their lodges in the daze of sleep and fight barehanded against musket and battle-axe and lance till the snows are red and scalps steaming from the belts of conquerors. Women fall to the feet of the victors, kneeling, crouching, dumbly pleading for mercy; and the mercy is a spear-thrust that pinions the living body to earth.
Ink had been poured in grotesque pattern on rugs and parquetry and window curtains. In one corner lay a typewriter, its keys twisted and its carriage broken. Through the daze of general horror boomed the tremblingly majestic voice of Rutherford Garretse. "I wanted you to see!" he declaimed. "I ordered everything left as it was.
"Something's going to happen," she went on, "and before it's over, I'm afraid it's going to hurt you terribly and me. And I want the kiss for us to remember. So that we'll always know, whatever happens afterward, that we loved each other." She held out her arms to him. "Won't you come?" He came a man bewildered bent down over her and found her lips; but almost absently, out of a daze.
The cowboy quickly came out of his daze. One arm was doubled up under his body, and this Elfreda Briggs carefully drew out. The cowboy groaned as she did so. "Can you lift your arm!" she asked. "No," gritted the cowboy, his face twisting with pain as he tried to raise the arm. "His left arm is broken," announced Elfreda. "Men, you must get this poor fellow to town as quickly as possible.
