Mrs. Middleton gazed at her fondly. "Dear child! Little orphan stranger!" she cried. "How I have longed for this hour! Indeed, I so longed for it that at the last moment my strength failed me, and when the train whistled I had to drop on my bed in exhaustion. But enough of that. Welcome to our home and hearts!" Murmuring some chill, indistinct monosyllable, Elsie glanced dumbly at Mr.
She wished dumbly that the man would go away, but for the wealth of the world she could not have brought herself to hurt the feelings of so big a man.
The black oarsman's eyes narrowed and he crouched dumbly as he rowed. Tedge was behind him Tedge of the Marie Louise who could kill with his fists. No, Hogjaw knew nothing he never would know anything. "I jest took him on out o' kindness," mumbled Tedge. "I got no license fer passenger business. Jest a bum I took on to go and see his swamp girl up Des Amoureaux.
But when that little girl jerked me right-about-face and heartlessly deserted me, I stared dumbly at the man whom I had come a hundred miles to see. I began angling for my little speech, but could not fetch it. "Hello!" called the philosopher, out of the white aureole. "Hello! come here, boy!" He held out his hand and as I took it there was a grasp with meaning in it.
But a glance at Tenney's face, the tightness of reserve, the fanatical eyes, closed her lips, and they moved about together dumbly at their common tasks. As she grew paler and the outline of her cheek the purer over the bones beneath, he watched her the more intently, but still furtively.

It seemed as if some suspense common to all held them speechless, if not dumbly apprehensive; and while the lawyer said nothing in recognition of this, he could not have been quite blind to it, for he bestowed one curious glance around the table before he proceeded with old Anthony's words. Those words had now become short, sharp, and accusatory.
Only the high priests and the king were left with me in the sacred arena. For a time I stood dumbly looking on, then the idea percolated into my confused understanding. I realized that at best I was only a demi-god, perhaps a sort of super-high-priest, but no god. These ambassadors extraordinary had come not to me but to The Lady of the Portrait.
This wild thing he had brought to New York must not be allowed to beat its head dumbly against the bars. When he had got rid of his driver, he turned the car northward, and a few minutes later Mathilde, the French maid chosen by Betty, opened Jane's door to him. While he took off his coat he looked along the hall and saw its owner sitting, her chin propped on a latticework of fingers.
