"No," said I, "that is true enough. I am looking forward to meeting Madame de Staemer " "The Colonel's invalid cousin," added Harley, tonelessly. "And her companion, Miss Beverley." "Quite so. Nor must we forget the Spanish butler, and the Colonel himself, whose acquaintance I am extremely anxious to renew." "The whole thing is wildly bizarre, Harley."
She made a movement to draw her arm away; at the same moment, she tangled her foot in her skirt, tripped, and, if he had not caught her, would have fallen forward. "Take care what you're doing! Do you want to drown yourself?" "I don't know. I shouldn't mind, I think," she answered tonelessly. His own balance had been endangered. Directly he had righted himself, he set her from him.
"You see," the old lady went on tonelessly, "it was only a little while after Willie ran away that they found out that tramps started the fire. Of course Abner was sorry then, but it was too late. My boy was gone." "But you'll find him yet," cried Betty hopefully, springing to her feet. "I'm quite sure you will." But the old lady shook her head sadly. "I don't think so, my dear," she said slowly.
"He's got nothing on you, has he?" "Fwhat?" . . . Slavin, turning like a flash, glared sharply at him out of deep-set scowling eyes, "Fwhat?" Tonelessly, George repeated his query, Slavin's glare gradually faded. "Eyah!" he affirmed presently, "he has! . . ." came a long pause "but not as yu mane ut . . . oh! begorrah, no!"
There came the low mutter of a voice hasty and with the quality of stern exhortation, the snap of the lock, and the door was jerked open. Norton's eyes, probing into every square foot of the chamber, took stock of Jim Galloway, and beyond him of Kid Rickard, slouching forward in a chair and rolling a cigarette. "Hello, Norton," said Galloway tonelessly. "Glad you showed up. There's been trouble."
Volsky did not resent the suggestion as some other women might have done. Mrs. Volsky had reached the point where she no longer resented even blows. "I uster try onct," she said tonelessly, "but it ain't no good, no more. Ella an' Bennie an' Jim don' care. An' Pa he musses up th' flat whenever he comes inter it. An' Lily can't see how it looks. So what's th' use?"
Well, you work with me. On the control deck there's only room for one brain, one decision, one answer. And when I'm on the control deck, that decision, answer, and brain will be mine!" "I understand perfectly, sir," said Tom tonelessly. Connel stepped back, fists on his hips, eying the three cadets. And he had heard about their triumph over the Martian desert.
He dropped it and turned bloodshot eyes on Thornton. "Damn you," he said tonelessly. "Better do a clean job, you white-livered coward, or I'll see you hang yet for killin' Charlie...." "I was outside when he was shot," said Thornton coolly. "I saw just as much as you did. Somebody shot him from behind me." "Liar!" jeered Bedloe. "An'..." "Don't be a fool, Bedloe," snapped Comstock.
"I told you before," Charles answered tonelessly "that I had had a bad night: I was over-excited and did not sleep: I was awake the whole night." "By Jove, yes!" his father rapped out: "I can believe that! But if you were not asleep, how do you account for your not hearing anything?" "Thérèse did not hear anything either," said Charles after a moment's reflection.
Bushwick listened as mutely, with a face that, to Verrian's eye, seemed to harden from its light jocosity into a severity he had not seen in it before. "It was something," she ended towards Bushwick, with a catch in her breath, "that you had to know." "Yes," he answered, tonelessly. "And now" she attempted a little forlorn playfulness "don't you think he gave me what I deserved?"
