Slowly and disconnectedly the uninspiring conversation progressed. Once, when it appeared halted forever, Arlee cast a helpless look at the Captain and intercepted a sharp glance at his sister.
I felt that my friend was not what he had been as he rambled on disconnectedly: "There were no stamps in his desk, but there might have been, eh, mon ami? There might have been? Yes" his eyes wandered round the room "this boudoir has nothing more to tell us. It did not yield much. Only this." He pulled a crumpled envelope out of his pocket, and tossed it over to me.
When we were on good terms they were interested to hear, as I was proud to tell, and would say, "Tell us about your ancestors, Margery." And if we fell out there was no surer method of annoying me than to slight the memory of my great-great-grandparents. I have told their story pretty often. I shall put it down here in my own way, for Aunt Theresa told a story rather disconnectedly.
"This is one of the things for which I can never thank you enough," he murmured. "I can only tell you that I didn't know I didn't understand " Miss Sarah took the gilt-framed picture from his hand. She did not need his disconnectedly self-conscious explanation to understand. "Voluble, verbal gratitude is not an uncommon thing," she answered. "I am going to ask far more than that of you.
“Come, sit beside me, tell me, how did you hear about me, and my coming here yesterday? From whom did you first hear it?” And Mitya began telling her all about it, disconnectedly, incoherently, feverishly. He spoke strangely, often frowning, and stopping abruptly. “What are you frowning at?” she asked. “Nothing.... I left a man ill there.
Andreas Döderlein spoke of a father’s bleeding heart, of the crushing of proud hopes, of the impiety of youth, and the lonesomeness of old age. And then, rather disconnectedly, beating a tattoo with the fingers of his big hand on the top of the table, he spoke of the constraint in which he found himself with reference to the opulent owner of the mill.
Actually to find them might be half a day's work, and when I have found them I have simply found several pieces of mechanism each hidden in a kind of hut, functioning quite privately and disconnectedly by the aid of a few perspiring men. The affair is not like shooting at anything. A polished missile is shoved into the gun. A horrid bang the missile has disappeared, has simply gone.
Langham was difficult, talked disconnectedly of trifles, and Robert was soon painfully conscious that the old sympathetic bond between them no longer existed. Presently, Langham, as though with an effort to remember, asked after Catherine, then inquired what he was doing in the way of writing, and neither of them mentioned the name of Leyburn.
"And another of the boys limping by, foot-sore and weary, was accosted by this same angry dame, 'You ran, did you? You ran! Shame! Shame! A big fellow like you! Why did you run? "'I run, mum, 'cause I couldn't fly, that's why I run!" "Yes, quite true; and yet, after all, how like the moon we are," muttered one of the newspaper men disconnectedly. "How so?" inquired Senator Hammond acidly.
The sight and Paul's words unnerve his will. The child moves upon her cot, talking disconnectedly. "Please, Granny, don't cry! Bessie hanged on!" Esther partially awakens. Vacantly gazing at the cot, she slumbers on. Paul furtively looks about. Glaring at Esther, he moves toward the open door, stops, and then inspects his bloody knife. Muttering, Paul tiptoes back to Bessie's cot.
