"But you've been back to them?" cried Josephine in dismay. He looked at her, a slow, half smiling look, but did not speak. "Come and have a drink. Damn the women," said Jim uncouthly, seizing Aaron by the arm and dragging him off. The party stayed to the end of the interminable opera. They had agreed to wait for Aaron. He was to come around to the vestibule for them, after the show.
His speech was apt to be oddly and uncouthly idiomatic, and even when classical in its form was emitted with a strange, rough depth of utterance, that came from recesses of the lungs which we Yankees seldom put to any use.
He talked volubly, but uncouthly, placed his hand upon his breast, gestured vehemently, and seemed very earnestly bent upon communicating something. He was invited to enter the cabin, and the neighbors quickly collected around him.
The effect was so singular that he seemed face to face with an entirely new order of creatures: a child's features with a man's eyes; a child's figure with a woman's movements; full-grown souls cramped and cribbed in absurdly inadequate bodies and little, puny frames; the old trying uncouthly to express itself in the young.
As well as if he had confessed it I knew that this letter was intended for the father of his love for old Sam Murdock, to be literal, who uncouthly performed for us the offices of drayman; but who, in my namesake's eyes, shone pure and splendid for his relationship. Doubtless the letter was never sent, but I am sure it was written each time with an iron resolve to send it.
Tall and strong of body she saw he was, and she felt that he possessed another strength a strength of mind and will which, reaching out, can grasp and hold anything or everything. With practised skill, Molly turned into the narrow gateway at a swinging trot, and then only was the house visible a low, rambling building of brick and stone uncouthly mixed.
Rousing, Lanyard saw several figures emerge from the conning tower. Men uncouthly clothed in shapeless, shiny leather garments, straddled and stretched above him, filling their lungs with the sweet air. He tried to call to them, but evoked a mere rattle from his throat. Two came to the edge of the bridge and stood immediately over him, fixing binoculars to their eyes, their voices quite audible.
But he only answered a trifle abruptly, and, acting upon her suggestion, turned and retraced his steps in silence. At last, as though suddenly rousing himself, he turned to her, and said in an apologetic tone: "I fear, Enid, I've treated you rather well, rather uncouthly. I apologise. I was thinking of something else a somewhat serious matter."
He saw the sheep suddenly run huddled together, as though frightened by the neighbourhood of an enemy, while the fields of waving corn became agitated as though some monster were moving uncouthly among the crowded stalks. The sky grew dark, and in his dream an awful sound came somewhere from the clouds. It was in reality the sound downstairs growing more distinct.
Now, the chalice with the stone was taken from this loculus; and is it possible not to believe that some knight, to whom it had been presented by one of Saladin's men, had in turn presented it to the monastery, first scratching uncouthly on its surface the name of Hasn to mark its semi-sacred origin, or perhaps bidding the monks to do so?
