He had some blood yet, for that was not the glow of the fire that suffused his cheek; but he only answered, quietly, "Yes, mother." Do you think you can forget her?" "I don't know." "Prayer is a mighty thing, my son." "But perhaps it is not God's will that I should ever win her," said Dennis, despondently. "Then surely it is not yours, my child."
"Cobbler" Horn sank despondently into a chair. "Nowhere to be found!" he said, with a deep sigh. "We must have the tea ready," he added, as though at the dictate of a sudden thought. "Ah, you are tired, and hungry." Aunt Jemima hesitated on the last word. Could her brother be hungry? She thought she would never wish to taste food again. "No," he said quickly; "but Marian will want her tea.
I am not easily thrown off my balance, but I acknowledge you alarm me for the future." He frowned, shook his head, and looked at his visitor despondently. Noel Vanstone began to feel uneasy. The change in Mr. Bygrave's manner seemed ominous of a reconsideration of his proposals from a new and unfavorable point of view.
"But of course, if you do not love him, you must not think of marrying him," said Sybil, simply. "I won't," answered Joe, with sudden emphasis. "But I shall have to tell him, you know," she added despondently. "It is very hard to say those things," said Sybil, in a tone of reflection. "But of course it must be done if you were really engaged, that is." "Yes, almost really," said Joe.
Meanwhile, Ferrier and Marsham were in anxious conclave. Ferrier counselled delay. "Let the thing sleep a little. Don't announce the engagement. You and Miss Mallory will, of course, understand each other. You will correspond. But don't hurry it. So much consideration, at least, is due to your mother's strong feeling." Marsham assented, but despondently.

What was it you loved in him? Was it his unhappiness? His misfortune? Then, perhaps, if you doom me to unhappiness now, you will in the end love me for my unhappiness." He smiled despondently. "I don't know," she said.
One of the four, the young lady in widow's weeds whose face had arrested Miss Brent's attention that afternoon, rose from a massively upholstered sofa and drifted over to the fireplace near which her father sat.

And Karna can't get well again," he added despondently. "Well, who knows? perhaps it's only superstition!" he cried at last.
"They say there are to be soldiers on each side of the river," Adolphe said despondently, "to shoot down any who may try to swim to shore. But there would not be many who would try. Most of them, they say, will be women and children; but the heads would be seen as you drifted down."
"I wish I had no heart, it aches so," sighed Meg, after a pause. "If life is often as hard as this, I don't see how we ever shall get through it," added her sister despondently. Here the clock struck twelve, and both forgot themselves in watching Beth, for they fancied a change passed over her wan face.
