“Do you know Sabaneyev?” Kolya went on even more emphatically and even more severely. “What Sabaneyev? No, I don’t know him.” “Well then you can go to the devil,” said Kolya, cutting short the conversation; and turning sharply to the right he strode quickly on his way as though he disdained further conversation with a dolt who did not even know Sabaneyev. “Stop, heigh!
"It sha'n't be done, James," said Furneaux. "I actually lost my temper," puffed the other. "Tell you what! Let's put the Inspector on to him. Tell the local sleuths half what we know, and they'll run him in like a shot." "Pooh! He's all talk. Tomlinson is right. The neurotic Hilton has more nerve in his little finger than that dolt in the whole of his body." "What did you think of his boots?"
It sounds cheap enough, put that way but it's the rule we live under, all of us. And the amazement of finding her suddenly outside of it, oblivious of it, unconscious of it, left me, for an awful minute, stammering at her like a graceless dolt.... Perhaps it wasn't even a minute; but in it she had gone the whole round of my thoughts. "'It's raining, she said, very low.
He was motionless, even while he felt that the vague longing and yearning which had possessed him hitherto was now mysteriously taking some unknown form and action. The murmuring ceased. The humble-bees' drone again became ascendant a sudden fear seized him. She was GOING; he should never see her! While he had stood there a dolt and sluggard, she had satisfied her curiosity and stolen away.
"Strokor," he whispered, his face alive with excitement, "thou art a brave lad, and didst save my life. Now, know you that a party of the men of Klow have secreted themselves under the stairway behind the emperor's throne. They have killed the guards, and will of a certainty kill the emperor, too!" "'Twould serve the dolt right," I replied, for I really cared but little.
Instantly he exclaimed, "Look here! look here!" taking from his vest pocket a broad English gold piece and holding it out on his hand, then added, "And look there! look there!" pointing out a gentleman sitting in the opposite box. "Do you see that stupid dolt over there? Well, I've toiled over him till I sweat like a harvest hand, and laugh he won't; smile he won't."
With burning face and falling glance, he had stumbled back to his seat, where a lady who had before exhibited the public manner of wife to husband toward him, now pretended that he was an utter and offensive stranger. Bean, I say, had once suffered vicariously with this altruistic dolt. His suffering now was not vicarious.

"Is it a ship or a brig, Master Carnaby you have the advantage of position, for I would not willingly be seen speak quickly, dolt; is it ship, or brig?"
"Well, Miss Alice," said Borroughcliffe, in bitter irony, "you are entrusted by our excellent host with a message to his agent; will you do a similar service to me, and write a report to the commander of the district, and just tell him what a dolt ay, use the plainest terms, and say what an ass one Captain Borroughcliffe has proved himself in this affair?
And now our self-confessed dolt turned back from a half-hour's walk, concluding there might be an answer to his note. "Surely Madame John will appear this time." He knocked.
