The knowledge had certainly come tardily, but not the less surely. He did not, he told himself, love Lady Ethel as a man should love the wife of his bosom. Middle-aged, worn, and unemotional though he might be, he knew that he was yet capable of a much deeper feeling than she had evoked and he had wakened to a realisation of this since he had again seen Bella.
But before George could tell her why his indignation against his prospective hostess was impersonal and unemotional, the long figure of Mr. Doolittle again projected itself upon the scene. Betty effaced herself, gliding from the inner office, and George turned a look of inquiry upon his manager. "Well?" the monosyllable had all the force of profanity.
It was written just after he'd heard of Elwell's death." She noticed an odd shake in Parvis's unemotional voice. "Surely you remember that!" he urged her. Yes, she remembered: that was the profoundest horror of it. Elwell had died the day before her husband's disappearance; and this was Elwell's portrait; and it was the portrait of the man who had spoken to her in the garden.
Click, click, click went the pattens; and she did not turn her head. She had, however, become aware before this that the driver of the approaching gig was Giles. She had shrunk from being overtaken by him thus; but as it was inevitable, she had braced herself up for his inspection by closing her lips so as to make her mouth quite unemotional, and by throwing an additional firmness into her tread.
And further, they proved to me that the ability to read and write is a cheap accomplishment, and that a man can be a very strong character, and not know how to do either.

It was a great disadvantage that they could not control the choice of the travelling companions, but he would go at once and see if he could exercise any influence. The packing consumed several hours. This unemotional activity would have strengthened Fabia, had it not had a completely unnerving effect on Ovid.
What we have to do, however, now, is to advocate union and co-operation between the two dominant races the British and the Dutch and to do all we can to promote harmony and goodwill between them. True, their mental character, and natural instincts are different. Our own race is essentially energetic and progressive; while theirs is slow, unemotional, and phlegmatic.
If she should have a child?" "Why not? It will be his to love. Only a woman with empty arms knows what that means, Bruce." And this was Emily, this rose-red, wet-eyed creature was Emily, whom he had deemed unemotional, cold, self-contained! "Men forget, Bruce. You wouldn't listen to reason when you wooed Jean's mother.
Long ago, whatever of liking, of affection, of passion he had ever entertained for her had quieted to indifference and the unemotional contemplation of a future methodically arranged for.
Unaided, he moved to below the table and leaning against it looked, with unwilling but fascinated interest, at Vera's uplifted face. "Some one in the spirit," Vera chanted, in an unemotional, drugged voice, "wishes to speak to Mr. Hallowell. Give me your hand." "Quick!" directed Vance, "give her your hand. Take her hand." "Yes, he is here," Vera continued.
