Between fright, bewilderment and indignation at the invasion of the house, old Martha was, if anything, deafer and more stupid than usual. After much interrogation they had to be satisfied with her repeated assertion that "she 'adn't seen no young lady" and allowed her to hobble back to her kitchen. The two brothers stared at one another blankly. Francis was the first to speak.
The door of the cabin was open. Kane trotted past the hesitating Columbine and went in. "You son-of-a-hound-dog!" came to Columbine's listening ears in Wade's well-known voice. "I'll have to beat you sure as you're born." "I heard a horse," came in a lower voice, that was Wilson's. "Darn me if I'm not gettin' deafer every day," was the reply. Then Wade appeared in the doorway.
"That is indeed sehr modern," I shouted. But he had grown suddenly deafer a phenomenon I have observed to occur every time my orders are such as he has never been given before. After a time he will, I think, become imbued with my unorthodoxy in these matters; and meanwhile he has the true gardening spirit and loves his work, and love, after all, is the chief thing. I know of no compost so good.
Eleanor winced; "Poor Hannah is so stupid! But she's getting deafer every day, so I can't send her away!" Added to her distress at the scorched soup of the night before, was this new humiliation of "brickbats;" naturally she forgot the "poor thing." Maurice almost forgot her himself; but as he left the office in the afternoon he did remember the coat.
All I 'opes is as 'e gets deafer an' deafer, as deaf as a stock, as a stone, as a dead sow, that's all I 'opes!" Having said which, Stentor nodded to his gun again, glanced at Barnabas again, and strode off, muttering, after his companion.
Burns, following the travellers with certain pieces of hand luggage, looked at one another. "Bless her small heart, is she as deaf as that?" queried Red Pepper, in a whisper. "I shall have difficulty in getting my adoration over to her!" "She has grown much deafer since I knew her, several years ago," Ellen explained.
An example, this, of the eternal disharmony between the busy mind and nature or Mother Nature, let us say; the more the mind is concentrated on its own business the blinder we are to the signals of disapproval on her kindly countenance, the deafer to her warning whispers in our ear.
"She hears," whispered Rooney. "Impossible," replied Angut; "a dead seal is not much deafer." Continuing the conversation, the seaman explained how he thought it possible to stultify the wizard, by discrediting him in the eyes of his own people by foiling him with his own weapons, and himself undertook to accomplish the task of stultification.
The carriage tossed like a ship in a gale, and no crew ever clung to a life-line with more desperate grip than did Will's passengers to their seats. Had the fifty Indians of the driver's fancy been whooping behind, he would not have plied the whip more industriously, or been deafer to the groans and ejaculations of his fares.
If there is anything in presentiments, surely one of these whispered warnings thus early in my pilgrimage, though I was deafer than the adder just then.
