He was amazed, and felt as if he had received a blow. Finally, he said: "Do you think she will be long away?" "Her ladyship has gone for some time, sir, I believe." The young man's face, firm, with rosy cheeks and shallow, blue eyes, was strangely inexpressive. Craven hesitated, then said: "Do you know where her ladyship has gone? I I wish to write a note to her."
Before examining the means by which the varying atmospheres of the different scenes are got, I ask the reader to notice the way in which the rather pointless, inexpressive melody of the Dutchman appears now again, but so transformed as to be scarce recognizable.
All journeys end, and as Samson passed through the tawdry cars of the local train near Hixon he saw several faces which he recognized, but they either eyed him in inexpressive silence, or gave him the greeting of the "furriner." Then the whistle shrieked for the trestle over the Middle Fork, and at only a short distance rose the cupola of the brick court-house and the scattered roofs of the town.
Framed in the stone doorway of the Buvette, was the figure of a girl in a snow-white coiffe, of which the lappets waved in the wind, a short blue skirt, and sabots. She had a curious, inexpressive face, with the patient look of a dumb creature, and an odd little curl in her upper lip, which, with her mute expression, made her seem to be continually deprecating disapproval.
Paul stood lightly, swaying his body over the sea, by holding on to the mizzen-shrouds, an attitude not inexpressive of his easy audacity; while near by, pacing a few steps to and fro, his long spy-glass now under his arm, and now presented at his eye, Israel, looking the very image of vigilant prudence, listened to the warrior's story.
He was a slight-built man with a dark, smooth face, that would have been quite commonplace and inexpressive but for his left eye, in which all that was villainous in him apparently centered. Shut that eye, and you had the features and expression of an ordinary man; cover up those features, and the eye shone out like Eblis's own.
I find them all pleasant to look upon; their dollish air pleases me now, and I fancy I have discovered what it is that gives it to them: it is not only their round, inexpressive faces with eyebrows far removed from the eyelids, but the excessive amplitude of their dress.
"To leave Wanhope." More at his ease than Val, in spite of the disadvantage of his evening dress, Lawrence stood looking down at him with brilliant inexpressive eyes. "Is it your own idea that I stayed on at Wanhope to make love to Laura?" "If I answer that, you'll tell me that I'm meddling with what is none of my business, and this time you'll be right."
She had proof of the one; the other was mainly negative, in so far as practical results were concerned. "Who are to be there?" she asked, as soon as she could trust her voice to be properly inexpressive. "Austin, and Tom Forbes, and Lloyd Avalons, and two or three men you don't know, and Thayer." "Mr. Thayer?" Her accent was incredulous. "Certainly. Why not?"
"I know that I am," she observed.... "Isn't this spun sugar delicious!" "Yes; and so are you." But she pretended not to hear. He laughed, then fell silent; his dreamy gaze shifted from vacancy to her and, casually, across the room, where it settled lightly as a butterfly on his wife, and there it poised for a moment's inexpressive examination.
