Denver grunted non-committally and led Murray into the tunnel, which had turned now to follow the ore. Whatever his game was it was too deep for Denver, so he looked on in watchful silence. Murray seemed well acquainted with mining he looked at the foot-wall and hanging-wall and traced out the course of both veins; and then, without offering to take any samples, he turned and went out to the dump.
Langhorne shrugged his shoulders non-committally, but it was evident that he was greatly relieved and he could not conceal his interest in what Kennedy was doing, even though he had succeeded in conveying the impression that it was a matter of indifference to him.
Symes seemed unable to realize the importance of the unassuming young man who listened so attentively but non-committally to all that he was saying, and in the light of their relative positions Mudge felt that Symes was making himself a trifle ridiculous.
But the school is quite full, as you know; so at first I was uncertain that I could accommodate you here; but Miss Dandler, my assistant, has given up her room to you and I shall put a bed for her in my own sleeping chamber, so that difficulty is now happily arranged. I suppose your family left Beverly this morning, by the early train?" "They have gone," replied Mary Louise, non-committally.
"Left the shop!" Marie exclaimed. "And Peter Niburg he has left also? I never see him." "No," said Herman non-committally. "He is ill, perhaps?" "He is dead," said Herman, devouring her with his eyes. "Dead!" She put a hand to her plump side. "Aye. Shot as a spy." He took another piece of the excellent pigeon pie. Marie, meantime, lost all her looks, grew pasty white.
"You will be interested to know," remarked the detective, watching her narrowly, "that District Attorney Wickham, who had the case in charge out there, is in New York, with the president of the Central Western Trust." "Yes?" she said non-committally. "I told them I was on the trail, through a woman, and they have come here to aid me." Why had he told her that?
"I don't know of any one person who's going to buy enough stock to help you out in that plan; unless I should do it myself," suggested Westlake, and waited. Sam surveyed the other man long and silently. Westlake, as the largest minority shareholder, had done some very strange things to corporations in his time. "Neither do I," said Sam non-committally. There was another long silence.
Burke spoke rather unwillingly. "I don't think he ever actually spoke of you to me. We're not exactly kindred spirits, he and I." "You don't like him," said Sylvia. "Nor he me," said Burke Ranger. She looked at him with her candid eyes. "I don't think you are very tolerant of weakness, are you?" she said gently. "I don't know," he said non-committally. "Won't you tell me about yourself?"
Grumbach pressed down the ash in his pipe and brushed his thumb on his sleeve. "I was looking into the past." "With a pair of opera-glasses?" "Yes." Grumbach was perfectly serious. "Oh, pshaw! You were following her highness with them. I want to know why." "She is beautiful." "You made a promise to me not long ago." "I did?" non-committally. "Yes.
"I can't go 'em onless they're plumb fresh," she replied non-committally. "I've had such a pleasant call." Mrs. Symes rose. "Run in agin." Mrs. Jackson's eyes were glued upon the leather card-case from which Mrs. Symes was endeavoring to extract a card with fingers which she was unable to bend. "Thanks.
