It was part of a heavy something that lay inert on the ground, and was beginning to feel numbly to ache dully. Then I found that I could move one of my legs, then the other, and eventually, with a mighty effort, I could almost raise myself. But, for the moment, I had to fall back.
With the Englishman's hand supporting him, he stumbled up a flight of steps that led to the door of one of the houses in the quiet street, waited till the turning of a latch-key opened the door, and again numbly yielded to the steady insistence that drew him within. He stood on a mat under a glaring electric lamp. The wet streamed down him in rivulets; he was drenched to the skin.
As for Chris, she stood numbly gazing after him till only the panels of the door met her look. And then, her strength leaving her, without sound she sank downwards and lay crumpled, inanimate, broken, upon the floor. Autumn on a Yorkshire moor. Hilda Davenant leaned back and looked from her sketch to the moor with slight dissatisfaction in her calm eyes.
"You must never let them get you, Jimmie for my sake. It will not last much longer it is near the end and I shall keep my promise. But go, now, Jimmie go!" "Go?" he repeated numbly. "Go? But but you?" "I?" She slipped suddenly away from him, retreating back down the room. "I will go as I came." "Wait! Listen!" he pleaded. There was no answer.
I know it's miraculous, that it's almost impossible to believe but try to understand." "I am trying to," said Thornton numbly, watching her as she moved about. "And it seems as though I were in a dream that this isn't real that you're not real." "It's not a dream," she said. "Oh, I'm so strong again.
Eyes still numbly bewildered he turned, leaning forward a little, to gaze out across the valley at the great square silhouette of Judge Maynard's house on the opposite ridge, while Old Jerry wheeled the protesting buggy and started deliberately down the hill. Just once more the latter paused; he drew the fat gray mare to a standstill and leaned a last time far out from the seat.
But her eyes did not leave his face, eyes that were repeating the invitation of her lips, openly asking him not to refuse. "I shall be happy to come," he said. The words fell out of him numbly. He scarcely heard them or knew what he was saying, yet he was conscious of the unnatural note in his voice.
As the truth slowly won over him, he straightened himself, one hand still clasping Helen's cold one. "It's sudden; sudden," he said. "Doctor, w'at ailed my little Nelly?" Still numbly inquisitive, I waited. The old man couldn't see the truth, the horrible truth. What would the doctor say? It was Cadge's voice that broke the silence; gentle, assured, yet with a note almost of defiance.
I did it for you, for the baby I I couldn't see you hungry on Christmas" and here the tears rolled down his cheeks and the words came thick and choking. "Kate, I don't think I committed a crime do you? Say you don't think so, darling!" "You were stealing," she whispered, numbly. "For you, darling please please forget it I I Oh, I can't say anything more."
Michael sprang away again, and was numbly aware of an ancient joy as he shouldered Jerry who shouldered against him as they ran side by side. But most of the joy was Jerry's, as was the wildest of the skurrying and the racing and the shouldering, of the body-wriggling, and ear-pricking, and yelping cries. Also, Jerry barked; and Michael did not bark. "He used to bark," said Villa.
