From the first their very loneliness had drawn them together a childish, starved desire for companionship; and as time passed they only clung the closer, each to the other, as jealously fearful as a marooned man and woman might have been of any harm which might come to the one and leave the other utterly, desolately alone.
"He's WITH her," Mrs. Wix desolately said. "He's with her," she reiterated. "Do you mean in her own room?" Maisie continued. She waited an instant. "God knows!" Maisie wondered a little why, or how, God should know; this, however, delayed but an instant her bringing out: "Well, won't she go back?" "Go back? Never!" "She'll stay all the same?" "All the more." "Then won't Sir Claude go?"
"Marcella, do you think if I were to eat a lot of meat I'd be stronger?" he asked hopefully. "Oh, make me stronger! give me something," and suddenly raising himself in bed, he threw his arms about her and, with his grey head on her shoulder, sobbed desolately. She held him, stroking his head, aching to find words, but utterly dumb with terror.
It was tantamount to saying that his nephew was lost. "I haven't told Monty," Winifred murmured desolately. The case was reached before noon next day, and was over in little more than half an hour. Soames pale, spruce, sad-eyed in the witness-box had suffered so much beforehand that he took it all like one dead. The moment the decree nisi was pronounced he left the Courts of Justice.
Then he fell forward on his face and the tragedy ended. Prince Padema sat desolately on his lofty balcony at Florence, and cursed things generally. Fate had indeed dealt hardly with the young man. The Prince had been misled by the apparent reasonableness of the adage, that if you want a thing well done you should do it yourself.
Or being too drunk to undress himself, or No I can't bring in the children." "No," said Soames; "no! I wonder! Of course, there's legal separation we can get that. But separation! Um!" "What does it mean?" asked Winifred desolately. "That he can't touch you, or you him; you're both of you married and unmarried." And again he grunted. What was it, in fact, but his own accursed position, legalised!
Just to have a roof over her until I find a room in the village where we can shake down." Here, led by his own words to contemplate the future, he looked desolately round the cornice of the hall, as if it were a shelf on which somebody might have left a suitable lodging for him. Miss Wilson turned her back decisively and contemptuously on Smilash. She had recovered herself.
A little cold hand squeezed Marcella's, and she answered Jimmy's eager questions about his father thoughtlessly, while a steamer coming into port hooted shrilly and desolately beyond the bar.
The carriage stood at the hall-door, and my poor sister kissed me again and again, telling me that I should see her soon. The carriage drove away, and I gazed after it until my eyes filled with tears, and, returning slowly to my chamber, I wept more bitterly and, so to speak, more desolately, than ever I had done before. My father had never seemed to love or to take an interest in me.
He dream himself, on account of a little yellow dust, my superior! I wandered from the town, and paused by the winding and shagged banks of the river. It was a gloomy winter's day, the waters rolled on black and sullen, and the dry leaves rustled desolately beneath my feet. Who shall tell us that outward nature has no effect upon our mood? All around seemed to frown upon my lot.
