Like some awful play of a cat with a mouse she held quiet and watched him. "Mary do as I say and turn it over!" Her continued, unanswering silence seemed finally to rouse him. His voice turned shrill. Drawing on some last hidden reservoir of strength, he cried, "Give it to me! It's mine!" and made an astonishing dart, both hands clawing for the relic.
No use in raging, in reasoning, in arguing. No use in setting forth the facts, the palpable right and wrong. No use in bitterly asking the unanswering heavens if this were right and just, this system that could allow any young girl to feel any married man, any father, her natural prey. She had come to love Warren just as in a few years she might come to love someone else.
They are frenzied, and unutterably tragic. They seem to move; yet they are so dead. And I imagine their denuded tortured arms reaching toward unanswering Heaven in an agony of protest against the fate that has gripped all nature. We entered a torn and tangled forest. The road was narrow and overgrown, and several times I had to dodge hand grenades that lay in the grassy ruts.
Her eyes do not turn to his; but they are lifted tearfully to the vast, unanswering sky, and as she mournfully shakes her head again, she cries, "I dunno! I dunno! I can't tell! I got to see Marguerite." "Well, you'll see her in an hour, and if she" "Naw, naw! 'tis not so; Marguerite is in New Orleans since Christmas." Very late in the evening of that day Mr.

But there was not the faintest twinkle there, nor any sound of life. Only solemn, unanswering darkness.
As he ceased, the fisherman riveted his look on the marble countenance of his auditor, wistfully endeavoring to trace the effect of his words. But all there was cold, unanswering, and void of human sympathy.
But the fingers lay with unanswering coldness and lifelessness for a second in his clasp and then were drawn away and took determinate hold of the chair-back. Again the flush came to Fleda's cheeks, brought by a sharp pain, oh, bodily and mental too! and after a moment's pause, with a distinctness of utterance that let him know every word, she said, "A generous man would not ask it, sir."
Orators declaim on the corners, lovers lark in the streets, gamblers glide by the saloons, workers lounge wearily home. Children scream and run and frolic, and all is good and human and beautiful and ugly and evil, even as Life is elsewhere. And then the Veil. It drops as drops the night on southern seas vast, sudden, unanswering. There is Hate behind it, and Cruelty and Tears.
There are great occult laws of relationship always awaiting our deepening comprehension: "Till one appears who bears, All nature silent is, Silent for evermore, Beating its waves of force On an unanswering shore Till one appears who bears."
On the table beside him a vase was overturned; a spray of heliotrope lay near and water had trickled over scattered sheets of music, staining the paper. By and by Vere would come to summon that unanswering figure to the gay little breakfast-table. Phillida would leave her place behind the burnished copper percolator she prized so highly and come running up the stairs.
