"Apparently it is as difficult for me to get to Winchester as it is for our troops to enter Richmond." Tucker laughed as he leaned forward and addressed Symonds. "If you try to drive anywhere but in the direction I tell you you will be instantly shot; and you, too, Captain Lloyd," he added sternly. Symonds nodded glumly. Both he and Lloyd had been searched and their revolvers taken from them.
"Here," he said, when he saw me, "will you fill this with cold water from the well?" I took it and hurried out to the kitchen, where four or five people were sitting and glumly whispering around an old coloured woman, Joe's cook, who was crying and rocking herself in a chair. I hushed her up and told her to show me the pump.
Linton, who had been glumly listening, was so startled by the sudden descent upon his shoulders of the mantle of authority that he straightened with a snap and grabbed wildly at his hat which dropped from his head despite his effort to clutch it, revealing a mop of fiery red hair. When he straightened, after recovering the hat, his freckled face was crimson with embarrassment and astonishment.
Dramatic, certainly, was the spectacle now offered to the survivors of the raid. With Colonel Bishop at their head, and gout-ridden Governor Steed sitting on the ruins of a wall beside him, they glumly watched the departure of the eight boats containing the weary Spanish ruffians who had glutted themselves with rapine, murder, and violences unspeakable.
The news of the world had such a trick of suddenly receding a million miles away from a man the minute he was in trouble. And Roger was in trouble.

"Well, Edith," he said glumly, "how about some chess this evening?"
"Not a thing not a blamed thing," declared Gallup, forcing a sickly smile to his face. "What were you thinking about so glumly?" "Oh, nuthin'. I was jest kinder meditatin' on the fact that most folks are 'tarnal fools, and I guess I'm abaout the biggest fool I know." "That's hardly like you. You're not usually troubled with such thoughts." "He's gitting older and wiser, Frankie," chuckled Mulloy.
I wish I had a pipe," said Maurice. "So do I," Fitzgerald echoed glumly. "I am tired of cigars and weary of those eternal cigarettes. How the deuce are we going to get out of this?" "What's your hurry? We're having a good time." "That's the trouble. Hang the duchess!" "Hang her and welcome. But why do you complain to me and not to Madame? Are you afraid of her?
At that moment there happened the unexpected. The parlormaid Annie entered, announcing Mrs. Surprise was expressed in the study. This was the lady who had said that the Heths were very improbable people. Papa opined, somewhat glumly, that she had come to beg funds for the confounded Settlement.
Jason snarled and reached for his sword, but settled back again glumly before he picked it up. "To think that I ever thought I could teach you anything about the reality of existence here when you have never experienced reality before nor ever will until the day you die.
Andy Green, having been left in nominal charge of the outfit when Luck left, must be consulted, Applehead supposed. "Andy? I dunno.
