The conviction in each of us was, that she and the other were laughing at him. "We locked in a deadly struggle, with what object I cannot tell. I do not believe either of us had an object. It was a mere blind conflict of pointless enmity, in which each cared but to overpower the other. Which first laid hold, which, if either, began to drag, I have not a suspicion.
In less than sixty seconds, I had demonstrated to the onlookers, and particularly to my opponent, that I had been to school since last meeting him. I had not been particular about fancy touches, or the pointless, gingerbread style of showing off before a crowd.
With such, the blessing and blessedness of solitude should be learned, for solitude rightly used makes strong men and women. The woman who has leisure has a grasp upon time, is master of it instead of being mastered by it. It is the girl whirled around in a squirrel cage of pointless weekly and Sunday engagements who is oppressed and mastered by her lack of freedom.
Her nerves were getting the best of her; she was losing her own dignity and sweetness was on the verge of a breakdown. But to say so would be to invoke doctors, pointless questions, futile drugs, and a period of acute affection from Sam affection that took the form chiefly of expecting it of her.
All the dull months he had spent with Cash and the burros dwarfed into a pointless, irrelevant incident of his life. He felt that he ought to be out in the world, doing bigger things than hunting gold that somehow always refused at the last minute to be found. He stirred restlessly.

"But with us, time is an object; and we have the results to show for the expenditure." At this, Mr. Colbrith took refuge in innuendo, as seemed to be his lately acquired habit. "You are very ready with your answers, Mr.
Already the sun had gone down into a windy-looking mist; and although there were still a few streaks of gold far off to the east on the hills and the black fir-woods, all was cold and grey about our onward path. An infinity of little country by-roads led hither and thither among the fields. It was the most pointless labyrinth.
It would be quite in keeping with the rest of the business you riding out here to ask me pointless questions while the people most likely to have been concerned in the robbery are left alone. They are known, I suppose you will say, where I am a stranger, someone you have never seen before " "You are wrong," he interrupted, still smiling; "I have seen you before."
Under different auspices, be might have been Pooh! we are running into a most pointless commonplace; what might any man be under auspices different from those by which his life has been guided? Music soon succeeded to conversation, and Clifford's voice was of necessity put into requisition.
