Girolamo gave a great and bitter cry, "My son!" folding his arms about the younger man in measureless grief and compassion. And when they could trust their footsteps they went desolately into the house together. "Nay," Girolamo had answered to every argument.
About that same hour Rex Carshaw walked desolately to the apartment in Madison Avenue. He threw himself into a chair and propped his head on a hand, saying: "Well, mother!" for Mrs. Carshaw was in the room.
The monotonous Bucskak which extended desolately, like a billowy sandy ocean, to the very horizon, were overgrown with dwarf firs that looked more like shrubs than trees. Not a village, not a hut was anywhere to be seen. From the roadside sedges, flocks of noisy wild-geese, from time to time, flew across the sky which the setting sun coloured yellow.
Old and terrible experiences murders and mutinies; distresses on rafts; thirsts and screaming madnesses; naked men howling on hen-coops under waste skies, sea-birds wailing desolately overhead; great ships, man-forsaken, God-forgotten, wallowing blindly amid green mountains that flowed and foamed upon them shadows in shoals, they rose, glimmered, and were gone in the twilight waters of returning consciousness.
After dinner my wife and she and Mercer to Thomas Pepys's wife's christening of his first child, and I took a coach, and to Wanstead, the house where Sir H. Mildmay died, and now Sir Robert Brookes lives, having bought it of the Duke of Yorke, it being forfeited to him. A fine seat, but an old-fashioned house; and being not full of people looks desolately.
The great buildings of Saint Winifred's were still as death; the footfall of the chance passer-by echoed desolately among them. A strange, mournful, conscious silence hung about the old monastic pile. The young life which usually played like the sunshine over it, was pouring unwonted brightness into many happy English homes.
Robert had an impulse to rush by the stolid little female liar, but Percy's recent lesson to him acted as a restraint; though, had it been a brawny woman or a lacquey in his path, he would certainly have followed his natural counsel. He turned away, lingering outside till it was dusk and the bruise on his head gave great throbs, and then he footed desolately farther and farther from the house.
This block, for instance, came from the large schooner which now lies at the end of Castle Hill Beach, bearing still aloft its broken masts and shattered rigging, and with its keel yet stanch, except that the stern-post is gone, so that each tide sweeps in its green harvest of glossy kelp, and then tosses it in the hold like hay, desolately tenanting the place which once sheltered men.
"Such was De Castel's disclosure; and though he had spoken in low tones Tomassov was stunned as by a great crash. "'Arrested, he murmured, desolately. "'Yes, and kept as a state prisoner with everybody belonging to him.... "The French officer seized Tomassov's arm above the elbow and pressed it hard.
"We are now about to get all the news of the neighbourhood," she said desolately. Gertie anticipated her, and, going in, served the lady with a copy of Fireside Love Stories. Returned with an imperative message. "I shall have to see her," admitted Mrs. Mills. "She won't be happy until she gets some piece of scandal off her mind."
