"I tell you I am," he repeated with a mirthless laugh. "Don't you suppose I ought to know? I want to get out of bullet range every time I'm shot at. And if anybody ever turns coward, I prefer that it should be trooper Ormond, not trooper Berkley. And that is the truth, Ailsa." She was scarcely able to suppress her anger now. She looked at him, flushed, excited, furious.
Smiling his mirthless, eternal smile, Sin Sin Wa placed the newly purchased stock upon a shelf immediately behind Sam Tuk; and Sam Tuk exhibited the first evidence of animation which had escaped him throughout the progress of the "deal." He slowly nodded his hairless head. Rita Dresden married Monte Irvin in the spring and bade farewell to the stage.
He's been telling me how how popular I am," she finished up with a mirthless laugh. "Popular? I I don't get you." Buck's whole expression had changed at the mention of Beasley's name. Joan had no reason to inquire his opinion of the storekeeper. "You wouldn't," she hastened on. "You could never understand such wicked meanness as that man is capable of.
Eva Beaulyon sank into a chair somewhat wearily, and her beautiful violet eyes, despite artistic 'touching up' looked hard and tired. "Not so far as I am concerned," she said, with a little mirthless laugh "Only I think you behaved very oddly this afternoon. Do you really mean that you object to Bridge on Sundays, or was it only a put on?"
Sanderson stepped into the room and closed the door. The heavy six-shooter in his hand was at his hip, the long barrel horizontal, the big muzzle gaping forebodingly into Maison's face. There was a cold, mirthless grin on Sanderson's face, but it seemed to Maison that the grin was the wanton expression of murder lust.
And now, after my fight at noon smelling this you don't know how it brings it back, appetite, recollections, everything " he waved his hands hopelessly again. "Don't think of it. Put your mind on something else." Caradoc gave a short mirthless laugh. "Stand in a fire and consider the lilies?" "We've got to consider how we'll ever get out of here, if we can't run this tug's engines..."
But sanity asserting its sway at once I left the verandah after giving him a mirthless smile. In a few strides I found myself in the dining room, now cleared and empty. But during that short time various thoughts occurred to me, such as: that Giles had been making fun of me, expecting some amusement at my expense; that I probably looked silly and gullible; that I knew very little of life. . . .
But there was no doubt that a change had come over the big man. His shoulders sagged further. A suggestion of a mirthless smile began to tug at the corners of his mouth; he unclenched the fingers of his hands. "It's you, eh?" he said, gruffly. "My kid was sayin' someone in the schoolhouse had walloped him, an' I was aimin' to find out who it was. I reckon he's gone." "I walloped him, Singleton."
"I will pay you the tribute of assuring you that it is not," replied the Sepoy. "Ah, ha!" returned Raikes with a mirthless grin. "I am to accept the brief custody of this gem as a recognition of my personal integrity. I see, I see. Well, I would appreciate the courtesy more if I could indorse its incaution. However," he added abruptly, "why did you end that extraordinary tale so inconclusively?
"I want revenge." "Of course cash. Well, Ganser's a rich man. I should say he'd give up a good deal to get rid of YOU." Loeb gave that mirthless and mirth-strangling smile as he accented the "you." "He's got to give up!" said Feuerstein fiercely. "Slowly! Slowly!" Loeb leaned forward and looked into Feuerstein's face. "You mustn't forget."
