The hall was carpeted, and the footfalls soft, yet not as though the unseen visitor was trying to deaden the sound. It was a natural step. From the light tread we might have supposed it to be a woman's foot, but from the stride it was more like a man. I do not know how long we lay there motionless.
"Never mind the riata on the chimney. Away we go," said Garry. "Follow me," ordered Ruth, and she sped away followed by the three chums.

We've nearly finished, and we'll all have a cup of coffee together and a cigar." Misfortunes accumulated, for Neeld hated tobacco. But he was anxious to be scrupulously polite to Iver, and thus to deaden the pangs of conscience. Resigned though miserable, he went with them to the smoking-room.
Our industries must become humanized, otherwise there will be no relief from the present state of unrest in the industries of the world. "In this connection it might be well to observe that our experience in the pulp industry has been that instructions which go too much into detail tend to deaden interest in the work.
