Louis approved of everything; but only answered in monosyllables, "Ah, indeed! excellent idea; quite a success." His mind was tortured by a new pain; he was paying no attention to Gaston's remarks, but enviously comparing all this wealth and prosperity with his own poverty.
"He said 'perhaps, repeated Gregory," laughing louder than ever, "he said 'perhaps. Did you hear him?" "Yes," said the slaves, who had drunk so much that they could only answer in monosyllables. "Well, I no longer say 'perhaps, I now say 'for certain." "Oh, I should like to see that," said Gregory; "I would give something to see that."
She fell back into monosyllables or gentle banalities; and George noticed that she was always restlessly conscious of the movements in the room who came in, who went out and throwing little frightened glances towards the door. He was glad indeed when his task was over.
When Sunday came, he sought the appointed spot at Hampstead, and there, after an hour's waiting, met the two friends. Eve was no longer in her vivacious mood; brilliant sunshine, and the breeze upon the heath, had no power to inspirit her; spoke in monosyllables, and behaved with unaccountable reserve. Hilliard had no choice but to converse with Patty, who was as gay and entertaining as ever.
Helping him off with his great-coat, I chatted on about the deluge of rain, and he remarked it was not so very bad, as one could yet walk. "Fortunately, yes, for I cannot swim," I told him. He laughed, replying, "Well, it is not so bad as when the Great Deep Waters covered the world." Immediately I foresaw the coming legend, so crept into the shell of monosyllables. "No?" I questioned.
Why, Richard, you haven't been here for so long no! no!" The latter monosyllables served half as responses, half as periods, to some vague starts from Dick. "Well, do sit down and tell me what you've been doing."
Aloud he answered in monosyllables as he continued to take possession of her. He rose, thinking she would do the same, or that if she remained seated he could better reach her lips by bending over her. "Your lips, your lips the kiss you gave me last night " he murmured, as his face came close to hers. She put up her lips and stood, and they embraced, but as his hands went seeking she recoiled.
When Williams did introduce him, they were rather silent, asking after Collie in monosyllables. They seemed strangely reticent. Both Williams and Overland felt an inexplicable tensity in the situation. Miguel, the young Mexican vaquero, broke silence. "How long you call it to this Gophertown place, I think?" "Thirty miles," said Overland. "Walkin' backwards like Miguel's talk," said Billy Dime.
How delicately her muscles are articulated! Just look at that bit there, full of sunlight. And at the shoulder here. Ah, heavens! it's full of life; I can feel it throb as I touch it. Christine, standing by, kept looking and answering in monosyllables. This resurrection of herself, after so many years, had at first flattered and surprised her.
Yet Cupid sat perched upon the pack which Philidor had been at such pains to fasten. Yvonne alone of the three was out of humor and she moved along silently, suppressing the joyous mood of her companion by answers in monosyllables and a forbidding expression which defied conciliation.
