"You just said that I was only a disembodied voice." She laughed, a musical low-toned chuckle that pleased him. "One gets impressions," she answered. "Being sightless sharpens other faculties. You often have very definite impressions in your mind about people you have never seen, don't you?" "Oh, yes," he agreed. "I daresay every one gets such impressions."
Now by a curious accident he found himself lifted out of his marvellous modern world for a time, out of all the rush and confused appeals of it, and floating like a thing dead and disembodied between sea and sky. It was as if Heaven was experimenting with him, had picked him out as a sample from the English millions, to look at him more nearly, and to see what was happening to the soul of man.
"My dear," she said, "why not? It's only the very elect lovers who can say to each other, 'I never loved any one but you." "At any rate," said Anne, "I never loved any one else well enough to marry him." For, in her fancy, the Minor Canon, being withdrawn in time, had ceased to occupy space; he had become that which he was for her girlhood, a disembodied dream.
They will bring forward their authorities as an argumentum ad verecundiam and then cry victoria.

He seemed to have shed his blundering, encumbering personality, and come to life as a disembodied intelligence. His fidelity to the Lanfears was unchanged; but he showed it negatively, by his discretions and abstentions. I have an idea that Mabel was less disposed to deride him, might even have been induced to softer sentiments; but I doubt if Dredge even noticed the change.
About forty seconds elapse. Mr. Sellers: Are they seated at two tables? Mr. The information we receive through these responses is of little importance to us compared with the information which we must obtain as to whether these sounds are produced by a disembodied Spirit or by some living person; that is, in deference to the Medium. Mr. Furness is understood to assent. Mr. We have the sounds here.
The appearance in a row of nine disembodied heads, whose staring eyes rolled with synchronous motion from side to side as we moved, was so ludicrous that we involuntarily burst into laughter.
One of those intimate memories of years past which linger so long in the mind. Take me for example. What should I offer to well, to that one among the disembodied who means most to me? An adventure in stealing cream from a dairy house!" As though she were carried away by this memory, her face grew soft and serious.
