Come." He threw open the cabin door. But if Pearl heard him she gave no sign, but still leaned weakly, almost inertly, against the walls of the cabin, gazing down the hillside with dazed and still frightened eyes. Seeing her condition, Seagreave wasted no more words, but lifted her in his arms and carried her into the room they had so recently left.
She must either confess the truth, and by so doing turn his love to hatred, or else remain silent and face the end. She reread the letter still seated at the piano, her elbows resting inertly upon the keys. Then she lifted her pale face again to the window, gazing out blankly upon the village street, so dull, so silent, so uninteresting. The thought of Mr.
John Turner was awaiting his visitor, and gave a large soft hand inertly into Colville's warm grasp. "I always wish I saw more of you," said the new-comer.

When he was raised upon their crests he could take in with rapid vision the solitary sea that lacked the gallant mass of the ship, astir with dark objects. These objects were slipping inertly by or moving along, waving pairs of black antennae.
The Birwa's arms collapsed, he fell at full length upon the rounded mass of timber, and, slipping sideways, toppled inertly into the foaming torrent.

They sat motionless, in their attitude of confident endearment, as if some strange death had surprised them. At length Harney sprang to his feet with a slight shiver.
