"It's a better business," said Gibbon, bitterly. "Well, well, each to his taste! If you lose your place as bookkeeper, you might offer your services to some farmer. As for me, the danger, though there isn't much, is just enough to make it exciting." "I don't care for any such excitement," said Gibbon, dispiritedly. "Why couldn't you have kept away and let me earn an honest living?"
"'Irkutsk April fourteen Yesterday as usual But rumoured defection from Sufi party Troops continue gathering Felsenburgh addressed Buddhist crowd Attempt on Llama last Friday work of Anarchists Felsenburgh leaving for Moscow as arranged he.... There that is absolutely all," ended Oliver dispiritedly. "It's interrupted as usual." The girl began to swing a foot.
He sat down, looking dispiritedly across the tranquil sea, all warm and fair with changing lights, and down at his feet at the bit of verdure which Noll had caused to flourish by dint of much seed-sowing and watering, saying, "No, I've no part in it all. I'll go no further."
Every one had struggled through the day assuring one another that when evening came it would be all right dangling the alluring thought of the cool darkness before each other's hot and weary eyes; but the night proved even more outrageous than the day. To the little group seated on the terrace, dispiritedly playing with their coffee, it seemed almost a personal affront.
His eye rested upon the glossy horses and the spotless victoria. "No!" Miss Hitchcock answered dispiritedly. "But I won't think of it that way. I am coming to see you again, if I may?" "You were very good to look us up," he answered evasively. They lingered, speaking slowly, as if loath to part in this superficial manner. He told her of his employment in Burnside, and remarked slowly,
After that nobody sleeps." She had come upon him staring dispiritedly at the fire, and his dejection softened her and drew out her womanly sympathy. She had renewed her efforts to cheer him up, seeking to stir him out of the gloom that imprisoned him.
"Ach, it is so," he assented meekly, "but when one has a sadness " He sighed. "Yes, of course, that's tough," agreed Billy sympathetically. "I hate a sadness." "Perhaps you have known ?" The other's eyes lifted toward him, then dropped dispiritedly. "But, no, you are too young. But I Ach!" He added in his own tongue a line of which Billy caught geliebt and gelebt, and so nodded understandingly.
He decided to walk up from the station. There was a short cut through the fields and then you came on the Court suddenly, over-looking a sheet of water. It was a still November day, colorless and sodden. The big elms were as dark as wet haystacks and the woods huddled dispiritedly in a vague mist. The trees broke to the right of the Court and the house rose up like a gigantic silver ghost.
They both bow their heads shaven down to the temples, to simulate His crown of thorns. Silence. The organ is still, the priest has vanished; the tapers are blown out; the pall-bearers lay hold of the bier, and raise it to their shoulders; the boys slouch into procession behind them; the monks glide softly and dispiritedly away. The soul is prepared for eternal life, and the body for the grave.
The prompter, surely he was destiny, fate, the irresistible course of events, with which no man can struggle, any more than the actor can struggle with or alter the lines that are set down for him. He may mumble them, he may act dispiritedly and tamely, but he has undertaken a certain part; he has to go through with it.
