"How about his drawing on me and how about your yearling? That bullet went just where it ought to 've gone with his hat down on his head." There was no jesting even of the grimmest quality in the puncher's look and tone. He was very cool and quiet and his Colt's was leveled for another shot. The hunter thrust up his hands as high as he could reach.
Some lived in Paris; others were exiled to distant parts of Russia. His generation was slowly passing away, and its history is one of the grimmest stories untold. Yet he sat in that bare drawing-room of a poor man and read his Figaro quite placidly, like any bourgeois in the safety of the suburb, only glancing at the clock from time to time.
In its way it was a tragedy the grimmest of all for its dominant note was the contemptibility of human nature. "I do not want the money. I should not keep it under any circumstances." "What would you do with it?" she asked sharply. "Give it to a charity." "No, no, you must not do that; they are all swindles!"
But beneath this merriment there were doubtless in the minds at least of those who thought, or stopped to think, terrible anxieties and the grimmest of forebodings. It was becoming clearer every month that Edgehill had not broken the rebellion; that the struggle would be long, and that the issue was uncertain; events soon justified these fears.
He felt within him the slow-growing inspiration of a new spirit, the gathering might of a new force. A few hours ago he was an outcast. He was condemned. Life, for him, had been robbed of its last hope. And in that hour of his grimmest despair Marette Radisson had come to him.
But Fafnir was by far the greatest and grimmest, and would have all things about called his.
But not even the grimmest of amiable dragons can altogether prevent a certain subtle language of eye and smile and eloquent silence; and so the minister's courtship progressed after a fashion. But if it was ever to reach a climax that climax must come when Ellen was away. And Ellen was so seldom away, especially in winter. She found her own fireside the pleasantest place in the world, she vowed.
"I say, the universe is the grimmest jester there ever was. Me to teach music to keep life in a body that doesn't want it! If I'd been employed laying out corpses in their grave-clothes there'd have been some sense in it. I'm not much more that a figurehead of an old hulk myself. But music!... music!... Oh Lord, and I haven't one real note of it in my whole composition."
Shiahs of the grimmest and most uncompromising persuasion; Sufis who had lost all belief in the Prophet and retained but little in God; wandering Hindu priests passing southward on their way to the Central India fairs and other affairs; Pundits in black gowns, with spectacles on their noses and undigested wisdom in their insides; bearded headmen of the wards; Sikhs with all the details of the latest ecclesiastical scandal in the Golden Temple; red-eyed priests from beyond the Border, looking like trapped wolves and talking like ravens; M. A.'s of the University, very superior and very voluble all these people and more also you might find in the white room.
There grasped me firm and haled me to bottom the hated foe, with grimmest gripe. 'Twas granted me, though, to pierce the monster with point of sword, with blade of battle: huge beast of the sea was whelmed by the hurly through hand of mine. ME thus often the evil monsters thronging threatened. With thrust of my sword, the darling, I dealt them due return!
