He could not forbear a wry grimace when he tried to see himself carrying out his appointed task faithfully to the end preaching vainly to uncomprehending ears month after month, year after year, stagnating mentally and suffocating spiritually in those silent forests where God and godly living was not a factor at all; where food, clothing, and shelter loomed bigger than anything else, because until these primary needs were satisfied a man could not rise above the status of a hungry animal.
Jason leaped over the tumbled forms, rapped Edipon behind the ear with the hilt of his sword and dragged Mikah to his feet. "Get out to the engine works," he ordered his still uncomprehending companions. "I have a caroj there that we can get away in." He cursed them and they finally broke into clumsy motion. There were shouts from behind him and an armed mob of D'zertanoj ran into view.
The rustic's helper dismounts with the farmer at the gate, and follows him into the office of the registrar. The farmer presents a pass. "This is for one only," says the registrar at the gate, roughly. "The other cannot go through," he says, pointing to de Vaudrey, who tries to look as stupid and uncomprehending as possible. The farmer hands a big red apple to the functionary.
The girl looked, wide-eyed and uncomprehending, at her father for a full minute. "Dead!" she moaned, and fell unconscious at his feet. BILLY BYRNE continued to fire intermittently for half an hour after the two men had left him.
"Not that your answer will make any difference," Worth cut in joyously. "Nobody need get the idea that they can take this suitcase away from me 'cause they can't. It's mine. I paid eight hundred thousand dollars for this box; and I've got a use for it." He chuckled. Louie regarded him with uncomprehending toleration queer doings were the order of the day at the Gold Nugget and allowed negligently.
I turned, not understanding for a moment what was meant, and saw one of the hill peasants, probably returning to his châlet from the market place at Vevay or Villeneuve. As I looked at him with an uncomprehending expression, he went on with the verse: "Mais celui qui boira de l'eau que je lui donnerai, n'aura jamais soif."
Joan began to forget her anger, her vows, and her repentance: soothed by the music of her lover's speech, she returned uncomprehending monosyllables: her heart beat till it felt like breaking, and once more she was falling beneath love's resistless spell, when a new interruption occurred, shaking her roughly out of her ecstasy; but this time the young count was able to pass quietly and calmly into a room adjoining, and Joan prepared to receive her importunate visitor with severe and frigid dignity.
Watson hoped that he did not look as uncomprehending as he felt. The other continued: "In aerial locomotion we are content to imitate life as much as possible. We long ago discarded engines and propellers, and instead tried to duplicate the muscular and nervous systems of the birds and insects. We fly exactly as they do; our motive force is intrinsic. In some respects, we have improved upon life."
Weak heart! . . . I wish sometimes mine had been." 'This irritated me. "Do you?" I exclaimed with deep-rooted irony. "Yes! Can't you understand?" he cried. "I don't know what more you could wish for," I said angrily. He gave me an utterly uncomprehending glance. This shaft had also gone wide of the mark, and he was not the man to bother about stray arrows.
I ought to send my cousin a letter thanking him for giving me a chance to owe so much kindness to so many people." "Your cousin?" repeated the uncomprehending officer. "This desperado, Bannister, is my cousin," answered the sheepman gravely. "But if he was your cousin, why should he want to kill you?" "That's a long story, Lieutenant. Will y'u hear it now?" "If you feel strong enough to tell it."
