She heard him push his chair up to the table, and then for a minute he stood there. She wanted to turn toward him; she wanted to say something do something. But she had no power. She saw him lay an envelope upon her desk. She heard him walking away. She knew, numbly, that his footsteps were not steady. She knew that he had stopped; she was sure that he was looking back. But still she had no power.
Question: Can you fix the controls so nobody else can use the grid?" The grid operator stared at him numbly. He was deathly pale. He did not seem able to grasp what Calhoun had said. "I've got to do some work on the para condition," Calhoun told him. "I need to be undisturbed in the ship, and I need a patient further along toward being a para than I am. It'll save time.
I have ten of it here, contributed by the Weasel and Hamvert; and you will, I think, recognise therein a certain element of poetic justice but I am still short five thousand dollars." Jimmie Dale removed the cover from the tin can. Mittel gazed at the contents numbly. "You perhaps did not hear me?" prompted Jimmie Dale coldly. "I am still short five thousand dollars."
She was fettered hand and foot. It was useless any longer to strive. She stood and faced the truth. She did not ask herself how it was she had ever come to care. She only numbly realised that she had always cared. And she knew now that to no woman is it given so to hate as she had hated without the spur of Love goading her thereto. Ah, but Love was cruel! Love was merciless!
How absent-mindedly his arms had held her, and how numbly they had fallen away when she turned at the door. But she shook her head and made the suspicion shudder its way out of her. Lou Macon, she decided, was just the sort of girl who would think Jack Landis an ideal. Besides, she had never had an opportunity to see Donnegan in his full glory at Milligan's. And as for Donnegan?
Guy blundered to his feet with shuddering effort. "Now fire me out!" he said. But Burke only guided him to the bed. "Sit down!" he said. Numbly he obeyed. He seemed incapable of doing otherwise. But when, still with that unwavering steadiness of purpose, Burke stooped and began to unfasten the straps of his gaiters, he suddenly cried out as if he had been struck unawares in a vital place.
Catch hold of my shoulder." In a dozen strokes Nan reached them, and was at Gerda's other side. "Put one hand on each of us and strike for all you're worth with your legs. That's the way...." Numbly Gerda's two hands gripped Barry's right shoulder and Nan's left. Between them they pulled her, her slight weight dragging at them heavily, helping the running sea against them.
As a refuge it had become dear to her. When first she had entered it she had looked about her numbly, thankful for walls and roof, thankful for its remoteness from the haunts of the prying: as a shipwrecked castaway regards, at the first light, the cave into which he has stumbled into the darkness-gratefully.
They appeared, in a slow-motion fashion, to become interested in them. Slowly, heavily, numbly, they congregated about them the equivalent of a herd of several hundred elephants of all the colors of the rainbow, with small heads wearing plaintive but persistent expressions. Long necks reached out hopefully. "The devil!" said the Chancellor of the Exchequer, fretfully.
He merely stood there not from bravery but from the confusion of a mute animal, numbly feeling this hot iron branding of the forehead, this incommunicable set of feelings, and these memories fading to abstractions with every new day, but there at this distance beckoning him nonetheless.
