Maybe some folks can think when they're hurrying to get dressed, but I can't." Rankin was very little moved to hilarity by this statement, but he was too young to resist the contagion of Lydia's mirth, and laughed back at her, wondering at the mobility of her ever-changing face. "If you don't think, what do you do?" he interrogated with mock relentlessness.
Now I want to talk to you " He reached for her hand, but she withdrew it beyond his reach and looked at him with the steady brown eyes whose level gaze he hated. "Come on, now, Nellie," he said impatiently, stung by her relentlessness, "you ain't goin' to be mad forever about that other time, are you? I was out of temper an' said things "
The wind was wailing through the stripped trees behind the house, a sombre, limitless wall of trees that seemed to close in with smothering relentlessness about the lonely cabin and its raw field of stumps. The angry, low-lying clouds and the hastening dusk of an early April day had by this time cast the gloom of semi-darkness over the scene.
In order to permit military relentlessness to proceed smoothly without any opposition, the very members of the local Parliament, the Strassburg Diet, are absolutely muzzled.

He gave a yard.
The door of Dickie's bedchamber opened, letting in long shafts of sunlight, and Dr. Knott came slowly forward. His aspect was savage. Even his philosophy had been not wholly proof against the pathos of his patient's case. It irritated him to fall from his usual relentlessness of common sense into a melting mood.
It is something more than relentlessness. It is more than keeping politics out of the courts.
He was quite sincere, had been touched by her manifest disturbance, and, despite his masculine relentlessness of criticism, he had an intuition of feminine suffering that was in itself feminine. "Meaning, that you are in a hurry to get rid of me," she said curtly, without raising her eyes.
The others could be severe; Paulina Maria might have conducted an inquisition. She had in her possibilities of almost mechanical relentlessness which had never been tested in her simple village life. Paulina Maria never shirked her duty, but it could not be said that she performed it in any gentle and Christ-like sense. She rather attacked it and slew it, as if it were a dragon in her path.
