Brown had, of the purely artistic qualities, only the academic; he was neither a colorist nor a great draughtsman; his art was literary, didactic, and, except for occasional dramatic passages, unemotional and unpoetic.
The shifty royal glance swept over them from under lowering brows; then it rested almost in challenge upon his mother. "Tell them," he bade her curtly. She told them what already she had told her son, relating all now with greater detail and circumstance. For some moments nothing was heard in that room but the steady drone of her unemotional voice.
"Good-morning," she said, giving the visitor her hand, and making her manner at once as cordial and as unemotional as possible. "It was too good of you to come all the way up here in this cold weather, just to see me." He pressed her hand with eagerness, and so meaningly that the color flushed into her cheeks.
She could imagine all the horror of the happening through the old lawyer's precise and unemotional story. The boy-lover, pinioned, helpless, condemned to watch his sweetheart dying by inches, and unable to help her by so much as lifting a hand could anything be more awful not only to endure, but to remember?
Marlow's svelt figure trip out of New Court and away up St. Swithin's Lane; his face was as calm and unemotional, his eyes as steady as ever when he turned to his employer. "Pretty woman," he said. "Looks a sharp 'un, too, Mr. Allerdyke. Well," he went on, turning away into the room as if Mrs. Marlow no longer interested him. "I got those two reports for you shall I tell you about them now?"
England and the United States, Italy, France and the rest of Europe the founts of civilization can write the edict, with all the blazonry of their glorious histories to illuminate the page There shall be no war in the air!" Theydon was carried away in spite of himself. "You believe that the airship might develop along the unemotional lines of the parcel post?" he inquired. Forbes laughed.
She sang slowly and her face and voice exhibited neither light nor shade. Yet her method suited the words in their exceedingly unemotional appeal. "It's the most curious song I ever heard," cried Estelle, "and you sing it perfectly, because I heard every word." Then she brought out pencil and paper, sat in the deep alcove of the window and transcribed Nancy's verse.
One had but little patience in the old days for quiet, prosaic, unemotional people; but now it becomes clear that a great many persons live life on very simple and direct lines; one wants to understand their point of view better, one is conscious of the merits of plainer stuff; and so the taste broadens and deepens, and becomes like a brimming river rather than a leaping crystal fount.
In his new frame of mind unswervingly logical, utterly unemotional, and wholly unbound by tradition he had come to connect the African and Indian troubles, and to see in one the relief of the other. The first fruit of his meditations was a letter to The Times. In it he laid down a new theory of emigration.
China rang with the achievements of Jack Oliver Tarling, or, as the Chinese criminal world had named him in parody of his name, "Lieh Jen," "The Hunter of Men." Lyne judged all people by his own standard, and saw in this unemotional man a possible tool, and in all probability a likely accomplice.
