An hundred electric lights, doubled and trebled a score of times by pendant crystals and glistening sconces, greeted the eyes of the man who a few short hours before had been a struggling artist. Half blinded by the brilliance, he hesitated, his foot already upon a way strange to him. He realized numbly how symbolic of his future that present moment might be.
Well, listen: It's to keep you there till to-morrow that's good reason, ain't it? You'll find a lot of cotton in the fur corner a mighty good thing for a bed. Can't you talk? How do you like it? I guess you ain't so independent now." There was a pause. The old woman sat numbly in Helen's chair. She saw a bunch of violets in her frame, and the odor brought back memories of her old home.
He replied almost under his breath: "Mem-sahib, it was in the still hour of the night. The captain sahib slept on the mountain, and in his sleep he fell and was taken away by the stream." "Taken away!" Again, numbly, Stella repeated his words. She felt suddenly very weak and sick. Peter stretched a hand towards the inscrutable stranger.
They lowered it, and the boy in the brown tunic matter-of-factly sliced through the metal, took out a V-shaped piece, and obviously made the rest of the metal whole once more. They raised it again, the boy moved his hand over the ice, it sank into it, they held it a moment only, and went off to the ship. Soames went numbly to see what had happened. He picked up scraps of the trimmed-away metal.
Yet always there is that aching, steady tug of the shoulder-rope, stopping circulation till the arms depend numbly; and always the weary effort of trail breaking. Captain felt that he had never worked with a more unsatisfying team mate.
I only knew that, lonely as it must be, I must go now to "Rockport" as I had done so many times in the old happy past, a past I was already beginning numbly to feel was dead and gone forever. And yet my step was firm and my head erect, as with eager tread I came to the bushes guarding our old happy playground. I only wanted to see it once more, that was all. The limp had gone from my foot.
There was nothing in her face to suggest she was not simply sleeping, her hair disarrayed, her face composed and relaxed as he had seen her hundreds of times. "Can you stand to witness this?" asked Dr. Winters anxiously. "Shall I get you a sedative?" Mel shook his head numbly. "No show me ..." The great, fresh wound extended diagonally across the abdomen and branched up beneath the heart.
As the flame leaped from the muzzle to his breast he numbly lowered the rifle, turned half around, and walking forward a few steps, clutched blindly at the air and sank limply to the ground. One spasmodic struggle in which he turned over on his back and then he lay very still, his mouth distorted by a ghastly grin.
Mile after mile Tarzan of the Apes put slowly behind him, borne up by sheer force of will where a lesser man would have lain down to die and rest forever tired muscles whose every move was an agony of effort; but at last his progress became practically mechanical he staggered on with a dazed mind that reacted numbly to a single urge on, on, on!
She could only sit there face to face with despair, staring blind-eyed before her, motionless, cold as marble to the very heart of her. She fancied she even numbly hoped that she was going to die. She never heard repeated knocking at her door, or remembered that it was locked, till a man's shoulder burst it open. Then, indeed, she turned stiffly and looked at the intruder. "You!" she said.
