Sandy shouted with delight. "After all, people like that are awfully refreshing," he said at last. "At times," admitted Nan. "All the same," she went on dispiritedly, "one must be in the right atmosphere to do anything worth while." "Well, I'm exuding as much as I can," said Sandy. "Atmosphere, I mean. Look here, what about that concerto for pianoforte and orchestra which you had in mind?
Bickford obeyed, finding this exercise of authority a partial sop to his wounded feelings. Cap'n Sproul pendulumed dispiritedly to and fro in the little enclosure, gloomily and obstinately waiting for the disaster that his seaman's sense of impending trouble scented. Hiram Look was frankly and joyously enjoying a scene that revived his old circus memories.
The things they had recently seen and undergone, and the possibility of telling folks about them, occupied their attention exclusively. "Then you're not going to write a monograph on the real nature of termites, as you'd planned?" Jim asked Denny. Denny shrugged dispiritedly. "People would take it for a joke instead of a scientific treatise if I did," he said. Jim puffed reflectively at his pipe.
Foxx Travis was singing softly, almost inaudibly: "You will eeeeat ... in the sweeeet ... bye-and-bye, You'll get oooom ... phel in the sky ... when you die!" Inside, Edith Shaw slumped dispiritedly in a chair. Foxx Travis went to the coffee-maker and started it. Miles snapped on the communication screen and punched the combination of General Maith's headquarters.
"Of course not," Sewell admitted. "Well, and should he ask her pardon, or she his?" "The Socratic method is irresistible," said the minister sadly. "You have proved that nothing can be done for Barker with the Vanes. And now the question is, what can be done for him?" "That's something I must leave to you, David," said his wife dispiritedly.
Polly drew a long breath of disappointment. "I never knew you to act like this before," she mused. "How sweetly Doodles sang!" said Miss Sterling. "Yes," agreed Polly dispiritedly. "And you are a charming accompanist." "Oh! now, who's silly?" "Nobody." Miss Sterling drew her hand from her stocking. "It doesn't seem to me that I play well at all I long to do so much better."
Not a creature seemed to be about of whom I could make inquiries. It was as if I was in a land of desolation. I suppose it was between eleven o'clock and midnight. I had not given up my quest for work till all the shops were closed, and in Hammersmith, that night, at any rate, they were not early closers. Then I had lounged about dispiritedly, wondering what was the next thing I could do.
"Hush, Dickie! you have exploded enough to-night. Don't say that to Mrs. Leason!" Her world appeared to her that night a harlequin tangle, and, above all, meaningless yes, dispiritedly without sense. John, somehow, seemed displeased with her, as if she were responsible for Dickie's breaks. She laughed again as she thought of the sow story, and the way the women took it.
Chip met them at the bed wagon, where they slipped dispiritedly off their horses and began to unsaddle all save Weary; he stared around him, got cautiously to the ground and walked, with that painfully circumspect stride sometimes affected by the intoxicated, over to the cook-tent. "Well," snapped Chip to the others, "For once in his life, Happy was right."
He started off, and they followed him dispiritedly, for the heat was something to remember afterwards with a shudder. "Here's the place," Pink called back to them, after some minutes of riding. "Andy's horse is down there, too, but I don't see Andy " "Chances is " began Happy Jack, but found no one listening. It would be impossible to ride down, so they dismounted and prepared for the scramble.
