Not being, in fact, stone-deaf, Waldo found himself obliged to make some response. As much from embarrassment as from anger, he spoke gruffly. "That's nothing," he said. "I'd have done as much for a stray dog, and like as not I'd have got bit all the same!"
Gabblewig, will remember that it included a whole cluster of grotesque creations of his own. Among these there was a stone-deaf old man, who, whenever he was shouted at, used to sigh out resignedly, "Ah, it's no use your whispering!" Besides whom there was a garrulous old lady, in herself the worthy double of Mrs.
"Where's Allstone?" cried Hilary as he led his men into the desolate-looking hall. "Hey?" "I say where's Allstone, the scoundrel?" shouted Hilary. "I'm very sorry, but I can't hear a word you say, young man. I've been stone-deaf ever sin' I came to take care o' this house five year ago. It's a terrifying damp place."

Dolph was shouting, too, but Jack and Chad seemed to have gone stone-deaf; and Rube, who had run down with the gun, started with an oath into the river himself, but Joel halted him.
The visitor might have no appreciation of music; he might go up the mountain and down again without minding the thrushes or the wrens, for there is nothing about the human ear more wonderful than its ability not to hear; but these hawks passed a good part of every day in screaming, and were bound to be attended to by all but the stone-deaf.
Then I remembered that my shouting was in vain, for she was stone-deaf. But this good old lady's helplessness was short-lived. "Lay her down," she cried; "I know how to handle this. If there's a spark of life in her I can bring her round." I laid the limp form on the bed, on top of the spotless linen.

Barbara on to them.” “But if little St. Francis be deaf, how shall I make him hear my complaint?” demanded Sebastian.
It affected me as if a stone-deaf person had suddenly turned and joined in a whispered conversation. It set me thinking how far a mind in its general effect quite hopelessly limited, might range.
