"A half idiot child would have put things together." Presently he collapsed, sitting hopelessly, nervelessly in his chair. At last he lifted a piteously humble face. "What would you suggest my doing, Duncan?" There seemed to me to be only one thing he could do in order to preserve, if not his reason, at any rate his moral equilibrium in the position which he had contrived for himself.
Beads of perspiration thickly stud the high temples, out of which the flushing colour has sunk; his cheeks are pallid and hollow. His eyes have lost their fire; his muscles are flaccidly relaxed; his sloping shoulders stoop; his long, limp hands hang nervelessly at his sides. "One moment." Saxham glances at the gold chronometer that was a presentation from the students of St. Stephen's years ago.
We are going to have a quiet little gentlemen's game of cards, you and I, and we don't want our foreign friends here to get a false impression about the ethics of our great national game. Sit down, please!" Coogan dropped nervelessly into his chair. At a sign from Douglass, there entered into the room a cowboy bearing three beef-hides which he laid on the table.
The old man arose tottered towards the bell, and rang it, nervelessly, as if the silver knob were a hand he loathed to touch. Agnes answered the summons, but even her self-possession gave way as she saw the General's face, pale and almost convulsed, turned upon her. "I have ordered the carriage it will be at the door in a few moments, sir," she stammered forth.
Another man, more directly below Heyst, sprawled on his back from gunwale to gunwale, half off the after thwart, his head lower than his feet. This second man glared wildly upward, and struggled to raise himself, but to all appearance was much too drunk to succeed. The visible part of the boat contained also a flat, leather trunk, on which the first man's long legs were tucked up nervelessly.
The answer smote him as with a thunderbolt, and he staggered backwards, till arrested by the wall of the apartment, and then sank feebly, nervelessly, into a chair. Eagerly, after a pause, he questioned the intruders upon the nature of the evidence against him. Mr. Sharpe briefly replied that Edwards was in custody, and had revealed everything.
Overcome with a cold terror that suddenly seized her, Barbara wheeled and re-entered her room, standing for an instant at the door as she locked it, and then walking to the chair and sinking nervelessly into it. Somehow, she sensed the futility of further effort at escape.
"Come, my son," she said, once more impassive. Nervelessly I obeyed her, and as I passed out I heard Falcone's voice crying: "My lord, my lord! God help me, and God help you!"
That's why I'm going away." Aunt Hannah fell nervelessly back on the pillow. Her teeth fairly chattered. "Oh, my grief and conscience Billy! Won't you please pull up that blanket," she moaned. "Billy, what do you mean?" Billy shook her head and got to her feet. "I can't tell any more now, really, Aunt Hannah. Please don't ask me; and don't talk. You will go with me, won't you?"
The fear that she might not admire his splendor in either sort caused him to fall somewhat nervelessly back upon Providence; but if the moral government of the universe finally favored him it was not by traversing any of its own laws.
