You are yourself doing so without, I fancy, much deference to your parents' opinions, and besides I have heard you many a time rail against the soullessness of the conversation and the gossip and tittle-tattle of society in country towns, meaning in your case in Abchester, and should, therefore, be the last to blame him for revolting against it."
She had never been used to animals, and she felt the vague shrinking of the pious from creatures divided from her by the abyss of soullessness. At length, after ten empty days, Evelina's first letter came.
"Won't they, by Jove" retorted the Chief grimly. "They will if I tell 'em to. No official soullessness for me; thank you! And now, Marigold, just ask Matthews to fill in Barling's regimental number and all that and the name and address of the solicitors who do this kind of thing for us.
It was not the blow that made the crime, but the disregard of an accepted formula. Polygamy, the particular sacredness of wives, their semi-servile state, their seclusion in kings' harems, even their privilege of biting, all would seem to indicate a Mohammedan society and the opinion of the soullessness of woman.

For with all that dollish look, perhaps because of it, it was possible, so Killigrew thought, to imagine her being very bad with the help of that protective mask. It was also compatible with an Undine-like soullessness, a cold clearness of outlook, or a slightly heavy if sweet stupidity.
"Fratricide!" exclaimed Rotherby, and laughed angrily. "Fratricide!" It was as if he threatened it. But Mr. Caryll continued to regard him sorrowfully. From his soul he pitied him; pitied them both not because of their condition, but because of the soullessness behind it all. To him it was truly tragic, tragic beyond anything that he had ever known. "You said some fine things, sir, to Mr.
"Little friend not be 'fraid," said a guttural voice in broken French. "Little friend not make noise." At a glance she recognized Long-Hair, the Indian, rising out of the matted marsh growth. It was a hideous vision of embodied cunning, soullessness and murderous cruelty. "Not tell white man you see me?" he grunted interrogatively, stepping close to her.
