Don't slosh it all on at once! A little at a time's better. Get some on his head." So with much incoherence and with everybody giving orders and each acting independently, they bore him tenderly into the shade of a rock and worked over him feverishly, their faces paler than his. When he opened his eyes and stared at them dully, they could have shouted for very relief.
I must keep it from the children as long as possible," she thought dully, and it was so natural to her to plan sparing them, that for a minute the idea took her mind away from her own anguish. "If I could only die like this, then they need never know," she found herself reflecting coldly a little later, so coldly that she seemed to have no personal interest, no will to choose in the matter.
"The worst!" said Anthony, dully. He felt utterly stupefied. "Absolutely," said she, calmly. "You know you only hasten a thing like this by making an out-and-out fight of it. That's no way to stop it!" "Are you Miss Mix?" said Anthony, feebly. "I am." She nodded impatiently. "Sarah Mix." "Then you and my son " Anthony pursued patiently. "Didn't he write? Aren't you " "Engaged?
A red-faced girl raced along by the carriages, there was something strained and almost desperate in the way she waved and called. "Hysterical!" thought William dully. Then a greasy, black-faced workman at the end of the platform grinned at the passing train. And William thought, "A filthy life!" and went back to his papers.
Probably that was Grayson's big hour, for if Anthony turned her out he intended to go in himself, and fight for the woman he had petted as a child. But Anthony had not turned her out. He took one comprehensive glance at her thin face and distorted figure. Then he said: "So this is the way you come back." "He drove me out," she said dully. "He sent me here. He knew I had no place else to go.
He looked at Van peculiarly, with a strange light dully firing in his eyes. "I agree to that," he answered slowly. "I agree to that." He put out his hand to shake to bind his agreement. It was almost like offering his oath. Van took it, and gave it his usual grip. "So long, Barger," he said. "I reckon you need these boots."
There was nothing at all for him to do. He stared blankly out of the window, at the greyness and blackness of the sky. What a day! What a climate! Why did any sane person live in England? He felt positively suicidal. His dully vagrant eye lighted on the bottle of Cold Mixture. He ought to have dosed himself a full hour ago. Well, he didn't care. Had Zuleika noticed the bottle? he idly wondered.
"By the way, what's the name of that steward who took my daughter's sapphires?" "His monacker is Webb," said Haggerty; "Thomas Webb, Esquire; an' believe me, he's some smooth guy. Thomas Webb." For a moment Killigrew sat stiffly upright in his chair; then gradually his body grew limp, his chin sank, his shoulders drooped. "Webb?" he said dully. "Are you sure, Haggerty?" "No question about it.
If this dark blot of blood had come from the veins of Billy now, of Conford, or Jack or Curly, her own men, would she have lost her grip like this? And then she became dully conscious that Billy had put her in the big chair by the table and had joined the others in their exhaustive search for any clew to the tragedy.
No share in any mine save that the knowledge that he was not among the vast majority who sit dully to the end beside what things they were born to the earnings of other men, the savings of other women, afraid to go seeking after better lest they lose the good they have. They had failed, but it could never be said of a Klondyker that he had not tried.
