Thus, in the hypnotic silence of high thoughts, the two young "Sanitists" arrived in Hound Street. In the doorway of No. 1 the son of the lame woman, Mrs. Budgen the thin, white youth as tall as Martin, but not so broad-stood, smoking a dubious-looking cigarette. He turned his lack-lustre, jeering gaze on the visitors. "Who d'you want?" he said.
Not even this smiling Hindu gentleman, whose smile concealed so much, could read any meaning in those lack-lustre eyes, nor detect any emotion in that high, cool voice. "A document was found, and in this it was recorded that you bore upon your arm the sign of the Seventh Kama."
So I nodded and dozed, and sank into a deep slumber, from which I was roused by the voice of my cousin Monica. On opening my eyes, I saw nothing but Lady Knollys' face looking steadily into mine, and expanding into a good-natured laugh as she watched the vacant and lack-lustre stare with which I returned her gaze. 'Come, dear Maud, it is late; you ought to have been in your bed an hour ago.
He fixed a scrutinizing gaze upon the grand chamberlain, who, having delivered his message, stood in buckram dignity, drawn up to his full stature, curling his whiskers, stroking his beard, and looking down upon him with inexpressible loftiness through his lack-lustre eyes. There was no doubting the word of so grave and ceremonious a hidalgo. Don Fernando now arrayed himself in gala attire.
I am going to Mergellina." "Oh!" Vere did not ask her what she was going to do there. She showed no special interest, no curiosity. "What will you do, Vere?" "I don't know." She glanced round. Hermione saw that her usually bright eyes were dull and lack-lustre. "I don't know what I shall do." She sighed and began to eat her egg slowly, as if she had no appetite. "Did you sleep well, Vere?"
I don't say I ain't been to a theayter once or twice in my life, but I always come away with the idea that anybody could act if they liked to try. It's a kid's game, a silly kid's game, dressing up and pretending to be somebody else." He cut off a piece of tobacco and, stowing it in his left cheek, sat chewing, with his lack-lustre eyes fixed on the wharves across the river.
About Paul Harley, eagerly alert, there was something essentially British. Nicol Brinn, without being typical, was nevertheless distinctly a product of the United States. Yet, despite the stoic mask worn by Mr. Brinn, whose lack-lustre eyes were so unlike the bright gray eyes of his visitor, there existed, if not a physical, a certain spiritual affinity between the two; both were men of action.
He pointed with a pen which he was holding in the direction of a heavily carved chair which stood near the table. Nicol Brinn sat down, regarding the speaker with lack-lustre eyes. "A query has arisen respecting your fraternal rights," continued the Hindu. "Am I to understand that you claim to belong to the Seventh Kama?" "Certainly," replied Brinn in a toneless voice.
"Don't don't you think we had better take the consequences?" said Chilminster, as he reached across the table and let his hand fall on hers. Mrs. Urmy stood at the window looking with lack-lustre eyes across the park.
Of course, the workingmen of Paris did not recognize in the lustre of the California gold bars the lack-lustre francs that had been wheedled out of their pockets. In the main, however, the scheme was an unmitigated swindle. The three millions granted by the National Assembly were rioted away; the Treasury had to be refilled somehow or another. The gold bars drew better.
