But when supper-time came, and with it the hour for unmasking, Hermione was not to be seen; and Alexander, who had counted upon her half-given assent to dance the cotillon with him, leaned disconsolately against a door, wondering whether it could be worth while to sacrifice himself by engaging any one in her place. But Paul did not go home.
He could not eat, however, and soon sank again into a restless sleep. His companions sat disconsolately beside the fire as night closed in. Their clothes were damp and splashed with mud, for they had had to cross a patch of very soft muskeg to gather wood among a clump of rotting spruces.
Since Nikitin had been in love with Masha, everything at the Shelestovs' pleased him: the house, the garden, and the evening tea, and the wickerwork chairs, and the old nurse, and even the word "loutishness," which the old man was fond of using. The only thing he did not like was the number of cats and dogs and the Egyptian pigeons, who moaned disconsolately in a big cage in the verandah.
A ship-surgeon utterly stranded can hardly be a very merry soul, and the day before yesterday I was strolling rather disconsolately about the docks, when I saw a stunning yacht come in. She was a sight to feast one's eyes on, and until the last moment was under a cloud of sail while her funnel belched black smoke.
Why, what is it, Miss Reynolds?" For, with a queer, choking cry, the odd little stranger threw herself face downward on the bed and sobbed disconsolately. Grace stood silent, watching the sob-wracked figure with puzzled, sympathetic eyes. Emma appeared in the doorway, her eyebrows elevated in astonishment. Grace motioned for her to come in.
Gail shook her head, watching him. "Can't you give me a human angle?" she asked. "I'm a woman. I'd like to be interested." He shrugged, and she said somehow disconsolately: "What will knowing the orbits of meteors lead to?" "Finding out some special meteor-orbits," he said drily, "might lead to finding out when the Fifth Planet blew itself up.
When he attempted to reason with her she burst into tears and forbade him to mention Bill Carmody's name in her hearing as long as he lived. Whereupon the youngster retired disconsolately to his room to think things over. "Love's a bum thing," he told himself.
"If you ask me, I think you'll be glad to be rid of us." "Not of you, Miss Laura," he insisted. She made a little grimace. "You're as bad as Mr. Harris," she declared. "We'll come for another trip with you some day." They left him leaning disconsolately over the rails. The Professor and Quest sat side by side on one of the trunks which was piled up on the barge.
On the last day of June she was taking a ramble in a somewhat wild and secluded place not far from her home, and thinking rather disconsolately that her father had overrated her influence, that after all she was but a pretty and ordinary girl, like millions of others, a fact that Lane and Strahan had at last discovered. Suddenly she came upon the artist, sketching at a short distance from her.
After all, why need one live for anything else except the present?" "There is the Comtesse," he reminded her disconsolately. She sighed. "How horrid of you!" "Let us forget her, then," he begged. "We will go into the marquee there and have supper, and afterwards dance again. We'll steal to-night out of the calendar. We'll call it ours and play with it as we please." She shook her head.
