When she rejoined the two men in the diningroom after having bathed her face, Charles Gould was saying to the doctor across the table "No, there does not seem any room for doubt." And the doctor assented. "No, I don't see myself how we could question that wretched Hirsch's tale. It's only too true, I fear." She sat down desolately at the head of the table and looked from one to the other.
The thing happened some time ago, before the "liveliness" died down along this secteur. One spring day, in a rainy fog like a gray curtain, a strange pair of legs appeared, prowling alongside a French trench. They were not French legs; but instantly two pairs of French arms darted out under the stage-drop of fog to jerk them in. Down came a feldwebel on top of them, squealing desolately "Kamerad!"
"I got up at eight for the first train, and now I feel" she fell back in her chair, and whispered desolately with shut eyes "as if I should like to die!" Ashe knelt down beside her. "It's my fault, too, Kitty. I ought to have held you with a stronger hand. I hated quarrelling with you. But oh, my dear, my dear " She met the cry in silence, the tears running over her cheeks.
Andrew Vessons, who had tiptoed after them from the tent, spread out his hands and gazed at heaven with a look of supreme despair, all the more intense because he could not speak. He returned desolately to the tent, where he stood with a cynical smile, leaning a little forward with his arms behind him, watching the dancing, an apotheosis of sex, to him not only silly and pitiful, but disgusting.
He just hums, Tom Price, with business ideas, whereas I just gape with the impossibility of them; he moves in the densest we carry our heads here on August evenings, each with its own thick nimbus of mosquitoes. I'm but too conscious of how, on the other hand, I'm desolately outlined to all eyes, in an air as pure and empty as that of a fine Polar sunset.
Still more lamentable is the case of our doubly stricken sister Rebecca only just recovered, by time's healing touch, from the despair of her tragic widowhood, and at the threshold of a new glad life of wedded happiness who again is desolately bereaved." "She has all our sympathy, and the full help of our sustaining love."
At bedtime, Grandpa would begin the search, while Madeline and I ungenerously retired. In the privacy of my own chamber, I could hear the old Captain tramping desolately about the Ark, calling, "Ma! ma!" Could hear the outside door swung open, and imagine Grandpa's wild face peering into the darkness, while still he called; "Ma! ma! where be ye? It's half after ten!"
The nightly performance to an empty house wore on her most distressingly, and no wonder. She, who had never hitherto given a moment's troubled thought to such matters, now sat in her dressing-room listening to the infrequent, hollow clang of the falling chair seats, attempting thus to estimate the audience straggling sparsely, desolately in.
The farm-yard was full of the light of a summer noontide. Nothing can be so desolately dreary as full strong sunlight can be. Not a living creature was to be seen in all the square inclosure, though cow-houses and stables formed the greater part of it, and one end was occupied by a dwelling-house.
Found there the Marquis de M., whose book on the spiritual rappings comes out next week. We conversed on the rappings ad nauseam. By the way, her ladyship rents the Hotel de la Rochefoucauld, in the Rue de Varenne, Faubourg St. Germain. St. Germain is full of these princely, aristocratic mansions. Mournfully beautiful desolately grand. Such a magnificent forest scene in the very heart of Paris!
