Garland studied it in the lives of its victims: the private soldier returning drably and mutely from the war to resume his drab, mute career behind the plow; the tenant caught in a trap by his landlord and the law and obliged to pay for the added value which his own toil has given to his farm; the brother neglected until his courage has died and proffered assistance comes too late to rouse him; and particularly the daughter whom a harsh father or the wife whom a brutal husband breaks or drives away the most sensitive and therefore the most pitiful victims of them all.
Griffith!" and of "Jack has woke up the first lieutenant, he had better now go to sleep himself," were heard passing among the men. But these suppressed communications soon ceased, and even Jack Joker himself pursued his way with diligence on the skirts of the party, as mutely as if the power of speech did not belong to his organization.
It was as if his own had come to him at last and his whole soul suddenly leaped out to meet and welcome her. Then her eyes fell upon him and the spell was broken. Jasper remained kneeling mutely there, shy man once more, crimson with blushes, a strange, almost pitiful creature in his abject confusion.
Smivvle, steadying himself against the panelling with shaking hands, "the word will be Ready? One! Two! Three Fire! Do you understand?" An eager "Yes" from Barrymaine, a slight nod from Chichester, yet Mr. Smivvle still leaned there mutely against the wall, as though his tongue failed him, or as if hearkening to that small, soft sound, that might have been wind in the trees.
Pan saw it, and he recognized it. Mutely he gazed at the girl as her head slowly sank. Then he asked hoarsely: "What's it mean?" "Pard, take a peep round heah," drawled Blinky in slow cool speech that seemed somehow to carry menace. Pan wheeled. He had the shock of his life. He received it before his whirling thoughts recorded the reason. It was as if he had to look twice. Dick Hardman!
Chump retreated from his shoulder, the woman's comic reverence for his occupation the prim movement of her lips while she repeated mutely the words she supposed he might be penning touched him to laughter. At once Mrs. Chump seized on the paper. "Young ladus," she read aloud, "yours of the 2nd, the 14th, and 21st ulto. The 'ffection I bear to your onnly remaining parent."
Then said she, 'O Shibli Bagarag, 'tis achieved, this first of thy tasks; for mutely on the fresh red of thy mouth, my betrothed, speaketh the honey of persuasiveness, and the children of Aklis will not resist thee.

"Would it not have been nice," the critic said to his neighbor, "to fight about a book I have neither read nor seen?" "Emile, look out for your coat; your neighbor is growing pale," said Bixiou. "Kant? Yet another ball flung out for fools to sport with, sir!
Roy turned away and stood for a few minutes looking out seaward. When he came back to Anne, he was very pale again. "You can give me no hope?" he said. Anne shook her head mutely. "Then good-bye," said Roy. "I can't understand it I can't believe you are not the woman I've believed you to be. But reproaches are idle between us. You are the only woman I can ever love.
There were stoves, camp furniture, lumber, hardware, boat fittings. The wreckage and the wastage of the stampede were enormous, and every ounce, every dollar's worth of it, spoke mutely of blasted hopes.
