We remained silent for few moments except for a grunt of pain from him. "Do you know?" I asked, "what has happened to things?" He seemed to complete his diagnosis. "It's not broken," he said. "Do you know," I repeated, "what has happened to everything?" "No," he said, looking up at me incuriously for the first time. "There's some difference " "There's a difference."
The children had found the noises of her affliction and the turbid tones of her monologue annoying, and had gone off to play in the woods; Claxon kept incuriously about the work that Clementina had left him to; his wife maintained the confidence which she always felt in Clementina's ability to treat with the world when it presented itself, and though she was curious enough, she did not offer to interrupt the girl's interview with Mrs.
"Drink this," said a soft but peremptory voice. He drank, incuriously; and the fiery liquid ran to his head and heart and shot new life into his dead limbs. But the more his lost strength came back to his body, the more he was aware of the terrible pain in his head.
The farm land had been fetching on an average some twenty to twenty-five pounds an acre. . . . Why was Mrs Bosenna not here? On an impulse annoyed, perhaps, by the young farmer's take-it-for-granted tone he called out "Thirty!" The auctioneer and Mr Baker who had just signified, by a slight frown, that he could not accept the young farmer's bid glanced up incuriously.
I remember that I bathed head and shoulders in cold water, and very carefully dressed myself in my best clothes. My pistols lay in the box which Faulkner carried. I drank a glass of wine, and as we left I took a long look at the place I had created, and the river now lit with the first shafts of morning. I wondered incuriously if I should ever see it again.
He questioned one of the waiters aside, took information from him, and seized my arm rather tremulously, saying, 'They are here. 'Tis as I expected.

We have a crowned head or two here.
They were incuriously awaiting the impulse which was sure to come, sure to thrust them on downward. A new lodger at Mrs. Sand's usually took the best rooms that were to be had. Then, sometimes slowly, sometimes swiftly, came the retreat upward until a cubby-hole under the eaves was reached. Finally came precipitate and baggageless departure, often with a week or two of lodging unpaid.
Quentin, in the embarrassment of surprising a secret that its possessor was doubtless unconscious of betraying, reverted hurriedly to the Beltraffio. "I came to see this," she said. "It's very beautiful." Miss Fenno's eye travelled incuriously over the mystic blue reaches of the landscape. "I suppose so," she assented; adding, after another tentative pause, "You come here often, don't you?"
Then, as her hand lay there, scarcely imprisoned, their eyes encountered, and hers, intensely blue now, considered him without emotion, studied him impersonally without purpose, incuriously acquiescent, indifferently expectant. After a little while the consciousness of the contact disconcerted her; she withdrew her fingers with an involuntary shiver. "Is there no chance?" he asked.
"Ah, pity me, tried champion, for even now I am almost afraid to die." She leaned against the window yonder, shuddering, staring into the night. Dawn had purged the east of stars.
