Because, as Ferris reached the door and groped for its knob, Chum was beside him glad to get out of this uncongenial assembly and to be alone with the master who seemed so unhappy and so direly in need of consolation. Link stiffened to his full height. With one hand lovingly laid on the collie's silken head, he mumbled: "No, Chum, you can't come along. Back, boy! Stay HERE!"
The two of them gave themselves up readily. They are snug in the Stein-schloss by this time." "The Stein-schloss!" Gretchen blanched. "Holy Mother, what has happened?" "Why, your vintner and Herr Ludwig were arrested an hour ago, accused of being spies from Jugendheit." "It is a lie!" cried Gretchen hollowly. She groped blindly for the door. "Where are you going, Gretchen?"
His dead book rose before him like an apparition. He groped in modest confusion for an answer. "A child I buried long ago, my dear sir," he said. "Its title-page was its tombstone. I have brought this young friend with me, this is Mr. Gifted Hopkins of Oxbow Village, who wishes to converse with you about " "I have come, sir " the young poet began, interrupting him.
Rolfe's professional jealousy was intensified in Crewe's case because of the brilliant successes Crewe had achieved during his career at the expense of the reputation of Scotland Yard. Rolfe had an instinctive feeling that Crewe's mind was of finer quality than his own, and would see light where he only groped in darkness.
Who has not wakened with the sense of some incommunicable experience of terror or felicity, too strange and poignant to submit itself to concrete symbolization, and so is groped for by the memory in vain?

It seemed as though he were living that moment over again now, as he lay here on the cot in the darkness his eagerness as he had recognised the well-known hand amongst the pile of correspondence, the thrill akin to tenderness with which he had opened the note; and then the utter misery of it all, the room swirling about him, the blind agony in which he had risen from his chair, and, as he had groped his way from the room, the sudden, pitiful anxiety on the faithful old Jason's face, which, even in his own distress, he had not failed to note and understand and be grateful for.
Stubbs had now jumped to his feet, and one of the animals had succeeded in crawling to his shoulder, where it was making desperate efforts to reach the war correspondent's eyes with its claws. Stubbs protected his eyes with one upraised arm, and groped blindly for the cat.
With the last words, the other voice died into distance. Mademoiselle had said what she came to say, and was retreating with dignity down the corridor. Now the figure of a slender woman was silhouetted in the doorway. Hugh heard a sigh, and saw a hand that glimmered white in the dusk against the dark paper on the wall, as it groped for the button of the electric light.
After having sought for us in vain, he groped for the gate, and went out, howling in agony. We left the palace at once, and came to the shore, where we made some rafts, each large enough to carry three men.
To rise was more difficult than he had imagined; his head overweighted him, all but caused him to plunge forward; he groped this way and that with his hands, seeking vainly for something to cling to on the whitewashed wall. In his depth of utter misery he gave way and sobbed several times. Then once more he had the warm taste of blood in his mouth. Terror-stricken, he staggered into the house.
