He rolled a cigarette, lighted it, and with the paper stuffed carelessly into his pocket he went to the car, climbed in, and drove on to the south, just as matter-of-factly as though he had not just then discovered that he, Bud Moore, had stolen a six-thousand-dollar automobile the night before.
Thompson fingered the envelope for a second, scarcely crediting his ears. The letter in his hands conveyed nothing. He did not recognize the writing. He was acutely conscious of a dreadful heartsinking. There was a finality about the Indian woman's statement that chilled him. "They have gone away?" he said. "Where? When did they go?" "Long time. Two moon," she replied matter-of-factly.
The fledgling identity of "me" and "not me" sank forever into submergence, never to rise again. When he was almost four, Timmy spoke his first words. He said clearly and matter-of-factly, "I want that one, Helen." His mother's mouth slowly opened while her face turned gray with shock.
He saw that her lids as she raised them to answer were slightly reddened at the edges, testifying to the acridity of Calcutta's road dust, and a dry crack crept into the silver voice with which she said matter-of-factly, "We are never too exhausted to attend to our Master's business." Lindsay's face expressed an instant's hesitation; he looked gravely the other way. "And the address?" he said.
And see what a silly position it had put her in! The little boys had succeeded with the inspired tactlessness of children in emphasizing and exaggerating what she had wished could be passed over unnoticed, a gesture of hers as inexplicable to her as to them.

He was a Sawtooth man, and he fought the enemies of the Sawtooth as matter-of-factly as a soldier will fight for his country. To his unimaginative mind there was sufficient justification in that attitude. As for the ease with which he planned to kill and cover his killing under the semblance of accident, he would have said, if you could make him speak of it, that he was not squeamish.
In behalf of our Cause, however, permit me to call your attention to the fact that we might have come nearer to victory, had you not discovered and interrupted this meeting to-night." Though his face was paler than was natural, he slipped on the manacles as matter-of-factly as he would have put on clean cuffs, and rose from his chair prepared to go where Starr directed.
And the large broadside offered by her elegant Harry, matter-of-factly towing Ella by the elbow, herself conscious of a curl or two awry, and Judge Buller tramping heavily at her side, all took on to her the aspect of a well-chosen peep-show with the satanic Kerr officiating as showman.
"About all a bandit could do would be to take our money," added Mollie. "All!" cried Grace indignantly. "Yes, that's all. And what would we do without any money, I'd like to know!" "Goodness, we could always sell the ranch," said Betty, so matter-of-factly that the girls chuckled. "We have Peter Levine to fall back on, you know."
"Isn't isn't it a little early for you to be away from your patients?" she asked. "My morning office hours are just over, and I'm on my way to make some calls in the car. Want to come?" he asked. "Thank you," said Joy. "That is, if you don't think I'd be in the way." "If I thought you would be I wouldn't have asked you," said Dr. Hewitt matter-of-factly.
