"I hoped we might go on with our talk," he said. He still addressed her somewhat as one addresses a friendly child; "I wanted to hear the end of that story about the Hungarian student." "He died, in Davos, poor boy," said Miss Woodruff, looking down at him from her slightly higher place, while Louise stood by dejectedly. "He wrote to my guardian and we went to him there and she played to him.
'Reservery, said he, 'seems a pretty mean way to spend ones autumn holiday. 'About as mean, returned I dejectedly, 'as canoeing. 'These gentlemen travel for their pleasure? asked the landlady, with unconscious irony. It was too much. The scales fell from our eyes. Another wet day, it was determined, and we put the boats into the train. The weather took the hint. That was our last wetting.
There was a smashed window to the right, a green shutter hanging dejectedly by one hinge; the great front door stood wide open, and the body of a dead man lay across the threshold, a dark stain of blood extending across the porch floor. A bullet had struck the hand rail, shattering one of the supports, and the broad steps were scarred and splintered.
The old man was smoking his evening pipe, and sat for a moment with his eyes fixed meditatively upon the blue hills massed in the distance. "Have we got so pore as all that, Mother?" he asked, after a while, glancing over his shoulder at his wife, who was rocking to and fro just back of him. "I'm obleeged to own to the truth," answered the old lady dejectedly.
She had not been there long when she saw him approaching, walking slowly, dejectedly along, with his eyes on the ground. "Oh, they are no better," she said to herself; "for if they were better, Max wouldn't hang his head like that." She stood still, watching him with a sinking heart as he came in at the gate and drew near her, still with his eyes cast down.
I took no notice of him, and after a few vain efforts to attract my attention, he hopped dejectedly off the veranda across the lawn, and disappeared among the timboso trees and rubber-vines. Two weeks later Hamat returned from Mecca. He paid me a visit in state white robe and green turban. I shook hands and called him by his new title of nobility, Tuan Hadji, but he did not refer to Lepas.
"It would be useful to speak with them. They see so much more than we do." He lifted his hands. He waved them dejectedly. He stooped and commenced picking up the cards. The doctor arose. "I shall go now." He sighed. "I don't know why I have stayed." Bobby got his coat and hat. "I'll walk to the stable with you."
Dan Anderson was conscious that this question drew upon him the gaze of a pair of searching eyes, yet none the less he met the issue. He glanced at the battered phonograph which leaned dejectedly against a tree. "As near as I can figure," said he, "I made this pilgrimage to hear a woman's voice." Saying which he leaned over and deliberately kicked the phonograph down the side of the hill.
Low on the wet autumnal wind came the sound of men's murmuring voices, of women's suppressed sobbing; in the semi- obscurity of fading light and deepening shadow he could discern and recognise the figure of his friend the local doctor, 'Jimmy' Forsyth, who was walking close beside a hastily improvised stretcher composed of the boughs of trees and covered with men's coats and driving-rugs, and he could see the shadowy shape of 'Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, being led slowly on in the rear, her proud head drooping dejectedly, her easy stride changed to a melancholy limping movement, her saddle empty.
She must be in a terrible state of mind," rejoined Roy dejectedly. "If only we could have got word to her or Mr. Bell " "In that case we could have taken it ourselves," wisely remarked Peggy; "well, brother mine, there is no use in borrowing trouble. Let's make the best of it. I've an idea that that redheaded man means to offer us some sort of a proposition after dinner."
