And there they stood and looked at it, not dully or uncomprehendingly, but consciously, advisedly, and in silence; as if already foreseeing all it would cost to keep that flag and add to it others like it; forseeing the cost and accepting it. There seemed to be men's hearts even in the children of that crowd, and in the mothers whose weak arms held them up.
His cigar ceased to burn, and with his eyes opened wide he regarded Ford in pitying wonder. "Wait!" he commanded. He shook his head uncomprehendingly. "Tell me," he asked, "do I look as easy as that, or are you just naturally foolish?" Ford pretended to fall into a state of great alarm. "I don't understand," he stammered.
"What's on your mind, Swan?" he asked abruptly. Swan started and looked up at him, glanced at the empty hills on either side, and stopped still in the trail. "Mr Hunter, you been longer in the country than I have been. You seen some good riding, I bet. Maybe you see some men ride backwards on a horse?" Brit looked at him uncomprehendingly. "Backwards?"
"It's a pity he has to live in that barrack there!" Ellen gazed at him uncomprehendingly. They did not move about much; it contented them to lie there and to delight in the child, when he suddenly sat up and gazed at them in astonishment, as though he had just discovered them. "Now he's beginning to think!" said Pelle, laughing. "You take my word for it, he's hungry."
"No, no," he murmured, "nothing so easy as that, Knox. The bullet was fired from a Lee-Enfield beyond doubt." I stared at him uncomprehendingly. "Then I am utterly out of my depth, Harley. It, appears to me that the case against Camber is finally and fatally complete. Only the motive remains to be discovered, and I flatter myself that I have already detected this."
During the brief interlude Lou had stood regarding the man and girl uncomprehendingly. Now she piped up, "Smiles loves ye er heap, I reckon, doctor man, an' so does I. Ef she don't marry with ye, I'll do hit when I gits bigger." "My, but I'm a fortunate man to have three fair ladies love me, and I won't forget your promise," Donald laughed merrily.
"It isn't a difficult question to answer, Sally. She has followed Morton that is why;" and, while Mrs. Gardner stared at him, uncomprehendingly, he turned to one of the stablemen who was near, and who had been Sally's informant about the movements of Patricia, and called out: "Tell my man to fetch my car to me, here. I shall go, at once, Sally."
I stared uncomprehendingly. The sweet smile became sweeter. "Lor a bun, ma pettit fille, eh?" At last I understood. "Oh, yes, the water is excellent here," I replied, "and freezingly cold if you put your fingers in it." He departed in unceremonious haste. For some years I have watched the procession of nations on my path.
"What do you think of that?" he inquired casually, handing over a chunk of ore; but she gazed at it uncomprehendingly. "Isn't there anything I can do?" she began at last, "that will make you change your mind? I might give you this much money now and then pay you more later, when I go to teaching school."
