See, he says he hopes he can lasso me some day with my own rope! Just suppose he does!" "Oh, I am sure he was just joking there," wise little Cleo ventured. "He just said that to tease you, for teasing him." "Maybe," replied Grace rather tonelessly. "Let me see it again," begged Madaline, reaching for the well- fingered little sheet of paper.
Carter murmured: "The bill, please?" Tonelessly he said, "Thirty cents." Mrs. Carter took out, not three, but four dimes four nice, shiny, new dimes; she sometimes said at her bank that really she couldn't touch soiled money. She dropped them on the table-cloth, and went modestly on her way, an honorable, clever, rather kindly and unhappy woman who had just committed murder.
"I was thinking something of the same kind," returned Norton coolly. "Have you any curiosity in the matter? If you think you can get your gun first . . . why, then, go to it!" Galloway eased himself in the saddle. "If I thought I could beat you to it," he answered tonelessly, "I'd do it. As you know.
Pete was sunken as well as ashen; he looked dead. "Do you suppose they'll hurt themselves pulling against those ropes?" he asked tonelessly. "Let them struggle for a while," Ralph advised. Like the rest of them, Ralph was exhausted-looking and pale. But at intervals he swaggered and glowed.
She had a suffocating sense that time was passing, that ages were going by in that bright, glaring room, with the sea air coming in a shuttered window, and the two beds, with their smooth white pillows, so neatly turned down Still, she could not speak not yet. "Yes, it was Mark," she said tonelessly and gently, after a long silence. "I thought you knew." "Oh, my God!" Jim said, choking.
There was one place where trees grew like banyans, and it was utterly impossible to penetrate them. They swerved aside. There was another spot where giant trees like sequoias made a cathedral-like atmosphere, and it seemed an impiety to speak. But Holden reported tonelessly in the walkie-talkie, and assured Jones and Al and Jamison that all so far was well.
"What for?" Billy Louise demanded, watching Jase reach languidly out for another potato. "She seen me diggin' bait," Jase said tonelessly. "I did think some of ketchin' a mess of fish before I went to sproutin' p'tatoes, but Marthy she don't take no int'rest in nothin' but work." "Are the fish biting good?" Billy Louise glanced toward the wider stream, where it showed through a gap in the alders.
"'Tis Fire that moves the grains of dust," murmured Nicol Brinn, tonelessly, "which one day make a mountain for the gods." Rama Dass stood up at once and repeated his strange gesture of salutation, which Nicol Brinn returned ceremoniously; and resumed his seat at the table. "You are advanced beyond your grade, brother," he said. "You are worthy the next step. Do you wish to take it?"
He recollected the sentence. He had once, during the heat of his grief for Giacomo Piaveni, cast it in her teeth. Violetta repeated it, as to herself, tonelessly; a method of making an old unkindness strike back on its author with effect. "Did we part good friends? I forget," she broke the silence. "We meet, and we will be the best of friends," said Ammiani.
Even years ago as a boy he was utterly selfish; but but Christine loved him then; she thought there was nobody in all the world like him; she adored him." He winced. "And now?" he asked shortly. She did not answer for a moment; she stood looking away from him. "There was a letter this morning," she said tonelessly. "Jimmy is ill, and they asked her to go to him." "Well!" "She would not go.
