And having thus revenged herself for her colleague's uncommunicativeness, she went her way. Caroline, left alone in her chair before the little window, automatically scanned the faces of those passing through the barrier, ready to release the clutch with a "Good evening" if the person were known to her, or to say in a dull monotone, "Six-pence, please," to a stranger.
Lavendar's, and sat smoking stolidly for an hour before he unbosomed himself. Dr. Lavendar did not notice his uncommunicativeness; he had his own preoccupations. "William, Benjamin Wright seems to be a good deal shaken this spring?" Silence. "He's allowed himself to grow old. Bad habit." Silence. "Got out of the way of doing things. Hasn't walked down the hill and back for three years.
Gloria was off to bed early, saying "good-night everybody" rather absently. She climbed up the stairs wearily. When her mother slipped away from the others, having started the victrola and urged them to dancing, she found Gloria ready for bed but standing before her window, looking out at the first stars. Mrs. Gaynor discovered in her little daughter a new, grave-eyed uncommunicativeness.
At the sanatorium Keith was waiting for spring and the new doctor; and that the waiting was proving to be a little nerve-racking was proved by the infrequency of his letters home, and the shortness and uncommunicativeness of such as did come. Letters to him from Hinsdale were longer and were invariably bright and cheery. Yet they did not really tell so much, after all.
Could it really be true that I had been visiting the van Tuivers in Florida, as old Rossiter Torrance had implied? Needless to say, I did not answer these questions freely.

Glancing up, he saw Brother Jacques pacing the poop-deck, his hands clasped behind him, his head bent forward, absorbed in thought. Victor wondered about this priest. A mystery enveloped his beauty, his uncommunicativeness. Presently the Jesuit caught sight of the dim, half-recognizable face below. "The Chevalier improves?" he asked.
Had she ever dared to forecast such a situation, she would have proceeded on the conventional theory that her son's suffering must draw her nearer to him; and this was precisely the relief that was denied her. Alan's uncommunicativeness extended below the level of speech, and his mother, reduced to the helplessness of dead-reckoning, had not even the solace of adapting her sympathy to his needs.
And then Bauer introduced me around to everybody. And then they asked me to play, and " "And you played badly." "Well, I didn't have my own violin." "No football game Saturday. And no pocket money this week. Go to bed." He went, breathing hard, and muttering a little under his breath. At breakfast next morning Fanny plied him with questions and was furious at his cool uncommunicativeness.
Nicolovius's haughty aloofness, his rigid uncommunicativeness, his grand ducal bearing and the fact that he paid eighteen dollars a week for a suite had of course made him a man of mark and mystery in the boarding-house, and in the romancings of Miss Miller he had figured as nearly everything from a fugitive crown prince to a retired counterfeiter.
"I wanted to talk about this play of yours," he explained. "Well, can you lunch to-morrow, say, half-past one?" "Yes. I should like to. What do you think of it, Manders?" There was a pause. "It's too long to discuss now." "You can just say whether you like it or not." "I'll tell you all about it to-morrow. Cheerio, boy." Eric was irritated by Manders' uncommunicativeness.
