"If only Sam was here," thought the young pioneer dismally. He did not know that a fierce hand-to-hand conflict had taken place near the waterfall, and that Barringford and White Buffalo had barely escaped with their lives, yet such was a fact. The ride was a rough and hard one for Dave, and long before it came to an end he was ready to sink into a faint from exhaustion.
This precious document was signed on September 28, 1499 just twelve months after the agreement which it was intended to replace; and the Admiral, sailing dismally back to San Domingo, ruefully pondered on the fruits of a year's delay.
The minutes went by slowly, until a good hour had passed. The noises below continued but that was all. "Well, even if the beast can't get up it evidently intends to tree me," thought Jack, dismally. Sleep was out of the question, and rather impatiently the youth waited for the coming of dawn. At last came a faint light in the east and at last daylight was at hand.
The flags were hung at half-mast and the bells tolled dismally. But at night the silence changed to noise. The citizens gathered in numbers. They broke into the stable of Lieutenant-Governor Cadwallader Golden and dragged out his coach of state. In it they put a figure made of sticks and rags to represent the owner. They marched the streets, shouting as they went, and finally surrounded the fort.
The man caught the girl as she struggled to get out of the swirl and with strong ugly strokes began to make for shore. Lewis stood with a sick heart, slow to realize the horror which had overtaken him. She was out of danger, though the man was swimming badly; dismally he noted the fact of his atrocious swimming. But this was the hero; he had stood irresolute.
The wind, sweeping dismally over the fields, sent clouds of blinding dust down the road, and as it passed through the forests, the myriads of fine twigs sent up a sound as deep and grand as the roar of a roused ocean.
Tom was playing dismally upon his violin, and the three dogs sat mournfully at his feet. "Thomas, what does this mean?" said Aunt Faith severely. Tom looked up and saw the extent of his audience.
I don't hate him, but I don't like him. What I mind is that he'll tell Lucy." He glanced at the curtains dismally. "Well, I like him," said Mrs. Honeychurch. "I know his mother; he's good, he's clever, he's rich, he's well connected Oh, you needn't kick the piano! He's well connected I'll say it again if you like: he's well connected."
She has forgiven me, of course. She's a dear. But we've sort of got to begin again." Portia wanted to know about all the others: that pretty Williamson woman, and a few more whose names she remembered. Rose told her; showed a feverish interest in the rather indifferent topic just to bury the memory of the one that had failed so dismally.
Rough mountain marching had torn the soles from their boots, and great unsightly wraps of rawhide and rags were bound on their feet. The thin worn overcoats, burned in many places, flapped dismally against their ankles; and their caps, beaten out of shape by many storms, clung drenched to their heads. They were in no condition to help any one to walk, for they could scarcely get on alone.
