"Miss Lane, I believe." Phebe bowed, but somewhat stiffly. "Excuse me," continued De Forest, imperturbably. "There doesn't seem to be any one to introduce us, and we know perfectly well who we each are, you know, and I wanted to ask about a mutual friend of ours, Miss Vernor." Phebe brightened and softened instantly.
Duncan was a man of rare discretion, and, though it must have been like an upheaval of the world to him to see the most constant of visitors at the General's modest little mansion, walking in shabby raiment in a barrack square with a recruit's ribbons fluttering from his cap, he saluted imperturbably as the young man came up, and then sat motionless.
"How's that goin' to fix the Lightfoot crowd?" "How?" Ju's contempt always found an outlet in the echo of an opponent's interrogation. "Say, Dan, how old are you? Twenty?" "That ain't nuthin' to you," the cowpuncher retorted, with a gesture of hot impatience. "Ain't it? Wal, mebbe it ain't," Ju agreed imperturbably. "But y'see it takes years an' years gettin' the value o' dollars right.
A simple means, forsooth, of getting rid of any superfluity of cash. "Art winning, Endicott?" queried Lord Walterton as, he stood over the other man, looking down on the game. Endicott shrugged his fat shoulders, and gave an enigmatic chuckle. "I pay King and Ace only," he called out imperturbably, as he turned up a Queen.
"Ignorance and impertinence," he answered. The Marchioness was silent for a moment. There was a little more color than usual in her beautiful cheeks and a dangerous glitter in her eyes. "You can go home, Mr. Wingrave," she said. He rose to his feet imperturbably. The Marchioness stretched out a long white hand and gently forced him back again. "You mustn't talk like that to me," she said quietly.
Every eye is on him, yet he faces judge, jury, counsel, witnesses and audience with a calm dignity worthy of an emperor. He listens imperturbably to facts which may hang him, to lies which may lend color to the facts, to well-meaning guesses which are wide of the mark. Truthful and false evidence is equally prone to err when guilt or innocence must be determined by circumstances alone.
"Thank you," Brannan acknowledged. "Who's to make the first bid? Speak up, now, don't be bashful." "Twenty-five dollars," called Juana Briones. "Thirty," said a voice behind her, a voice that caused young Windham and his sister to start, involuntarily. "McTurpin," whispered Inez to Adrian. "Thirty-five," spoke Juana, imperturbably. "Forty." Brannan looked straight into McTurpin's eyes.
He had not comprehended at all before what wellsprings of spiritual beauty, what limpid depths of idealism, his nature contained. "We were speaking of our respective religions," he heard Celia say, as imperturbably as if there had been no digression worth mentioning. "Yes," he assented, and moved his head so that he looked up at her back hair, and the leaves high above, mottled against the sky.
"Yes," Madame agreed, with a cool little smile. "Where is Rose?" he demanded. "Rose," replied Madame, lightly, "has gone away." "I know that," he flashed back. "I realise it every day and every hour of my life. I asked where she was." "And I," answered Madame, imperturbably, "have told you. She is simply 'away." "Is she well?" "Yes." "Is she happy? "Of course. Why not?
In the faint light and silence, the imperturbably calm dolls, the agitated rocking-horses with distended eyes and nostrils, the old gentlemen at the street-doors, standing half doubled up upon their failing knees and ankles, the wry-faced nut-crackers, the very Beasts upon their way into the Ark, in twos, like a Boarding School out walking, might have been imagined to be stricken motionless with fantastic wonder, at Dot being false, or Tackleton beloved, under any combination of circumstances.
