Carr's," repeated Harlan, miserably, tiptoeing away to the library, where he sat down and wiped his forehead. "'A very dear old friend." Disconnectedly, and with pronounced emphasis, Harlan mentioned the place which is said to be paved with good intentions. The clock struck twelve, and it was just eleven when he had begun on The Quest of the Lady Elaine.
Then she refused to let her patient talk any more, and left him with instructions not to tire his head with trying to remember. He lay disconnectedly dreaming. A stream of clear water, running shallow over greenish pebbles and among stones, large and small and some white things floating on it. The recollection teased him, and a slight headache warned him to put it aside. He tried to go to sleep.
"If the Sacramento don't sweep us away before then," she interrupted, with a reckless laugh; "the river's broken through the levee a clear sweep in two places. Where I live the water's up to the doorstep. They say it's going to be the biggest flood yet. You're all right here; you're on higher ground." She seemed to utter these sentences abstractedly, disconnectedly, as if to gain time.
"They'll slope off to Don Carlos's rancho and leave us to ride home alone," observed Florence. "Do you mind?" questioned Madeline. "No, I don't exactly mind; we've got the fastest horses in this country. I'd like to run that big black devil off his legs. No, I don't mind; but I've no hankering for a situation Gene Stewart thinks " Florence began disconnectedly, and she ended evasively.
Poetry seems to lie, to an extent, apart from Mr. Belloc's definite and consistent view of life. He takes other pleasures, beer, walking, singing and what not, with the utmost seriousness: this he treats, at bottom, casually and disconnectedly. We can just perceive how he links it up with his general conception of life, but we can only just see it.
Lily rose from her seat with a deprecating laugh. "Oh, no it's merely a bore," she asserted, gathering together the ends of her feather scarf. Rosedale remained seated, too intent on his thoughts to notice her movement. "Miss Lily, if you want any backing I like pluck " broke from him disconnectedly. "Thank you." She held out her hand. "Your tea has given me a tremendous backing.
Then she sat down again on the floor and fell over, unconscious. They couldn't get the story. The Princess Melanie had collapsed completely. Her companion, another noblewoman of the court, could only ramble disconnectedly. And the King merely lay, bathed and fed in a clean bed, and looked up at them wonderingly, as though nothing he saw or heard conveyed any meaning to him.
Murderous enemy as he was, it seemed to me I should never have slept a wink all the rest of my life. "Yes, it is just, it is just. What else? Alas!" Father Antonio repeated disconnectedly. "Those feelings implanted in your breast I have served my king, as you know, in my sacred calling, but in the midst of war, which is the outcome of the wickedness natural to our fallen state.
The change to this immensity and light from the narrow darkness of the palanquin overwhelmed their senses. They said nothing, but only stared silently. Then Domini, with a large gesture, stretched her arms above her head, drawing a deep breath which ended in a little, almost sobbing, laugh of exultation. "Out of prison," she said disconnectedly. "Out of prison into this!"
These fragmentary reflections, and others like them were passing rapidly and disconnectedly through the mind of the elder sister, when her ear caught the sound of footsteps in the drive. Drawing aside a corner of the muslin curtain beside her, which draped one of the French windows of the low room, she perceived the tall figure and scarcely perceptible limp of Lord Buntingford.
