A dozen negro porters and bell-boys were rushing to and fro. The elevators were busy. The tiled floor resounded with the scurrying of active feet. Saunders saw the mountaineer watching the scene with the lack-luster stare he had caught in his eyes a few minutes before. "You said you wanted to ask me something about your place," Drake suddenly bethought himself to say. "Yes, it is like this.
Indeed, whatever cures or crushes such a passion, is hailed by the by-standers as a sharp but wholesome medicine. He sauntered about, and examined all the shops with lack-luster eye. He looked in at everything, but observed nothing, scarcely saw anything. All his senses were turned inward. It was such a pitiable and galling result of a gallant fight.
Harry smiled indulgently. "He's a queer customer. Been quite a figurehead in Chinatown for twenty years. Say, Joe, heap bad!" and with the back of his hand he flicked the tray away from him. The little man undoubled his knees and descended the stool. He stood breast-high behind the counter. He dropped a lack-luster eye to the box. "Velly nice," he murmured with vague, falling inflection.

From his pocket he took out the little figure of Bâst, the cat-goddess, and held it up before Morris. The man stared at it with lack-luster eyes, scratching his unshaven chin; then he shook his head slowly. "Never," he declared.
"Can you let me have a pound after breakfast, Pat? I may as well order a small chest while I am about it." The Squire looked at her with lack-luster eyes. Where had he got one pound for tea? But he said nothing. Just then the gossoon Mike was seen passing the window with the post-bag hung over his shoulder.
At first I did not show him the tobacco, as I was strongly opposed to his using it, thinking that it was making him much worse. But he looked at the tempting peaches and figs with lack-luster eyes; he was too far gone to care for them. He pushed them back to me, saying faintly: "No, you take 'em, Mc; I don't want 'em; I can't eat 'em!" I then produced the tobacco, and his face lighted up.
