A penny for your thoughts, my dear," said her husband, coming in presently to find her still sitting there. "I'm thinking what a curious world this is, and what an ironical vein of humour the gods who look after it must possess," she replied, with a mirthless laugh, rising as she spoke. John looked puzzled. "Funny my having known Broomhurst before, you mean?" he said doubtfully.
Bangs turned his surprised eyes on Harris and regarded him intently as if striving to fathom a viewpoint that was entirely new to him. "Why, it don't, for a fact," he said at last. "Only I just never happened to think of it like that before." Morrow laughed and the boy flushed at the disagreeable ring of it. The sound was not loud but flat and mirthless, the syllables distinct and evenly spaced.
Ruby laughed a mirthless little laugh. "Talk doesn't get it over with the managers, honey. You've got to deliver." "Well, but he's that song is a good one. I don't say it's as good as he thinks it is, but it's good." "Yes," admitted the woman, grudgingly, "it's good." "Well, then?"
I cannot watch, if you intend to demonstrate!" The man with thick glasses waved an arm. The Minister for Health went hastily out. Dr. Lett made a mirthless sound. "He would not make a medical man! Here is a para in this aseptic room. He is an unusually good specimen for study. He was my assistant and I knew him when he was sane. Now I know him as a para. I will show you his delusion."
He laughed a short, mirthless laugh and pushed his hair from his brow. It was a strange thing that he should dream of confiding his story to this bit of a girl, yet never before had he known such an impulse to speak. "No, Mademoiselle," he said, "not unkind; it was not in her nature to be that. The mistake was all on my side.
He shook his head. "Wait till I've got him cinched." "You told father," she accused. He laughed in a hard, mirthless fashion. "That cured me. The Lee family is from Missouri. When I talk next time I'll have the goods to show." "I know who you mean. You're making a mistake." Her voice seemed to plead with him. "Not on your life, I ain't. But we'll talk about that when the subject is riper.
"It's a pretty good article in camp," said Mr. Symes desperately to keep the ball rolling. The guests shrieked with mirthless laughter at the suggestion of rough camp life. "Gosh! me and Gus was weaned and raised on bean soup and liverwurst," interjected Adolph Kunkel in the lull which followed, and immediately squirmed under Mrs. Symes's blazing eyes.
He heard Trevison catch his breath shrilling it into his lungs in one great sob and then he stood, white and shaking, beside the desk, looking at Trevison as the young man went out of the door a laugh on his lips, mirthless, bitter, portending trouble and violence. Corrigan was sitting at his desk in the bank building when Trevison entered the front door.
He had found the hiding place without any trouble but he had found it empty. "I guess," said Jimmie Dale, with a mirthless smile, "that there's a good deal of the bank's property at large temporarily!" There was a chair by the wall close to the door, he had noticed. He moved over, and sat down but, instead of his flashlight, his automatic was in his hand now.
'I've twa detectives efter me, it seems, said Liz, with a touch of sullenness, and she stood still on the edge of the pavement, as if determined not to go another step. 'I say, do you twa hunt in couples? She gave a little mirthless laugh, and her eye roamed restlessly up the street, as if contemplating the possibility of escape.
