Nearly every hunter will confess to "buck fever" at sight of his first deer, so it is not strange that a boy of Will's age should have stood immovable, staring dazedly at the graceful animal until it vanished from sight. Turk gave chase, but soon trotted back, and barked reproachfully at his young master.
It had, indeed, been named by the dead and with it the unuttered name must soon return to the great dark. With set lips, and the grim determination of duty on her face, she crept softly from the igloo. Annadoah awoke. At first she gazed about dazedly. Then she realized that the ilisitok had been with her she observed the meat and warm water by her couch.
Her eyes, very wide open, were bright, but not with their own happy brightness, like a reflection of sunlight. They were more like thick glass through which a fire can be seen dimly burning: and she looked astonished, piteous, as a child looks when it has been seized and whipped for a fault committed in ignorance. She seemed to be saying to herself dazedly, "What has happened to me?
With a cry I tore them away, lost my balance, and fell sideways into the car on to the back of the front seat. I stood up unsteadily. It hurt me to breathe rather, and there was a stabbing pain in my right side. "Are you hurt?" said a quick voice above me. Dazedly I raised my head. Silvia was leaning over the balcony, one hand to her white throat. I could hear her quick-coming breath.
It's Teddy!" He stepped aside, and Manchester, entering deliberately, closed the door. Then he sat down dazedly. "He's gone, boys. The Captain's gone." The words came in a stammer through pressed lips. "I wish it had been I," muttered Swipes brokenly, when they were alone again. "It was all my fault." He burst into a wild sobbing.
She deliberately passed the nursery door. Her heart was too full to risk a visit to the boys to-night. She lighted her room and sank dazedly into a chair. "I dreamed that we were just married, and in the old studio," she said, half aloud. "I dreamed I had the old-feeling again, of being so sure, and so beloved! I thought Warren had come home early and had brought me violets!"
They had talked familiarly, and then suddenly the boy had asked: "Dad, how about Molly? She belongs to us-all, you said. I've been thinking about Molly; where is she?" Just then the dream faded; the man on the hard settle pulled himself up, looked dazedly at the almost dead fire and listened! Some one was fumbling at the door; some one was coming in!
But tonight he was too depressed to think of anything but the whimpering little dog imprisoned down in the tool-house. After a while, he fell asleep. A true watchdog sleeps with all his senses or the very edge of wakefulness. And when he wakens, he does not waken as do we humans; yawningly, dazedly, drunk with slumber. At one moment he is sound asleep.
"Madam Chairman," she said with brutal directness, "the vote stands eight to two. There are two white balls, and eight black balls." At this shocking revelation of the fact, Cicily stared dazedly for a moment; then, an expression of bleak disappointment stole over her features. She uttered a sound of dismay, which was almost a moan, and the color fled from her face.
The word was brought up: "Someone has a very important piece of evidence which he wishes to present." Billy's gray eyes opened as the man mounted to the witness stand. He was lying on the cot at one side and his gaze rested on the new witness, dazedly at first, and then with growing comprehension. Old Ike Fenner, the tailor, Cherry Fenner's father!
