Freddy gave a mirthless laugh. "There is safety in numbers, Meg. If he had the evidence you have, I wonder what he'd feel?" "Just what I feel. I have seen Hadassah Ireton. Her husband will help me. He knew Mike; they planned this journey together." "I wish you'd leave things alone. I asked you to." "I can't. Michael may be ill." "It doesn't sound like it. Bad news travels quickly."
"I gambled everything I had away more than two thousand dollars, more than two thousand dollars." He laughed a raw, mirthless laugh. "Well, you're the greatest gambler in the West. So was I-in the East. It pulverised me at last, when I'd nothing left and drink, drink, drink. I gave up both one night and came out West. "I started doctoring here.
You had dropped out, and I had never heard a word of you since since " "Since I went to Dartmoor," Stane laughed again his cold, mirthless laugh. "There is no need to mince matters, Ainley. All the world knows I went there, and you need not go to any trouble to spare my feelings. When a man has been through hell nothing else matters, you know." Gerald Ainley did not reply.
So when she said she wanted to know so bad, Grandma said she’d send me over to know if you’d accept a jar of her fresh pickle-lily, and mebbe I could find out about your clothes. The pickle-lily’s on the kitchen table. I left it when I came through. It’s good, but there ain’t any love in it.” And Miranda laughed a hard mirthless laugh, and then settled down to her subject again.
Bit by bit the story was coming out, and she had no difficulty in filling up for herself the melancholy details. 'Noo I'm ready. Ye'll no' slope when I'm oot, Liz? she said warningly; and Liz laughed a dreary, mirthless laugh. 'I ken when I'm weel aff. I wish to goodness I had come to you when I was sick o' Brigton, instead o' gaun where I gaed.
"When I have done with it I will put it back," he said, as he thrust it inside his shirt, and hurried stealthily back to his house. As he got into bed he gave a noiseless, mirthless laugh. All night he lay with his yellow eyes wide open, gazing at the ceiling. He was up at dawn, hovering about the fire in the shop.
I wanted to see what he would do." "I don't think it now," she said, reverting. "That's all right." He laughed his brief, mirthless laugh, the assent of his egoism. But his satisfaction had nothing personal in it. He was pleased because justice, abstract justice, had been done. But she suspected his sincerity.
He laughed himself, but in a strangely mirthless fashion, and, afraid to trust himself, went up on deck and brooded savagely apart. Nor did he come down to breakfast until the skipper and cook had finished. Mr. Jewell bore his new honors badly, and the inability to express their dissatisfaction by means of violence had a bad effect on the tempers of the crew.
Murray; the ring is, by far, the most beautiful I have ever seen, but I certainly can not accept it." "Bithus contra Bacchium!" exclaimed Mr. Murray, with a short, mirthless laugh that made his companion shrink back a few steps. Holding the ring at arm's length above his head, he continued: "To the 'infernal flames, your fit type, I devote you, my costly Queen of Samothrace!"
He reached for a cigarette, opened his case, and found it empty. He uttered a mirthless, Byronic laugh. The thing seemed to him symbolic. Not having a cigarette of his own, Derek got up and went to look for the only man he knew who could give him one: and after a search of a few minutes came upon Freddie all alone in a dark corner, apart from the throng.
