"You are quite near home." Mrs. Charmond stood inert, seeming appalled by her late admission. "I have told you something in a moment of irresistible desire to unburden my soul which all but a fool would have kept silent as the grave," she said. "I cannot help it now. Is it to be a secret or do you mean war?" "A secret, certainly," said Grace, mournfully.
Then she murmured some unintelligible words; the convulsive moments ceased, and her arms, which had been clasped round Cephyse, fell inert upon the mattress. "Sister!" cried Cephyse, in alarm, as she raised Mother Bunch's head, to look at her face. "Not already, sister! And I? and I?" The sewing-girl's mild countenance was not paler than usual.
Three days of this inert weather, or possibly less, should bring us to Miami. There Monsieur had expressed his intention of wiring the Roumanian, or some other, consul; then he would entrain with my little Princess, and well, that would be the end. All that day we poked along.
For the time being she was good and gentle, the reason being that she also was relaxed and inert the result of a good meal after a strenuous morning on camel-back. Michael had been riding since dawn. The temptation to let things alone was an unconscious one; he submitted to it. A great expanse of the desert was before them.
Taking off his coat, Kennedy advanced to the bed where the emaciated figure lay, cold and motionless. Craig knelt down at Mr. Haswell's head and took the inert arms, raising them up until they were extended straight. Then he brought them down, folded upward at the elbow at the side.

Winn had just returned from his evening round of the trenches. Lionel was resting in his dug-out; he heard Winn's approach.
The most fertile Southern areas when once converted into black belts tended, and still tend as strongly as ever, to be tilled only by inert negroes, the majority of whom are as yet perhaps less efficient in freedom than their forbears were as slaves. The drain of funds involved in the purchase of slaves was impressive to contemporaries.
Leaning against the desk, he gazed down at the rug, mentally and physically inert. De Gollyer, returning to his nature, said presently: "I say, dear old fellow, it's awfully delicate, but I should like to be frank, from the shoulder out and out, do you mind?" "What? No." Seeing that Lightbody had only half listened, De Gollyer spoke with some hesitation: "Of course it's devilish impudent.
