The knight, unheeding the angry, upbraiding woman, hastened in pursuit of his wife to throw himself at her feet and confess the whole truth; but she, who had heard long before that Sir Seitz was paying Countess Cordula more conspicuous attention than beseemed a faithful husband, and who, after the happy hour so recently experienced, had expected, until the arrival of the page, the dawn of brighter, better days, now felt doubly abased, deceived, betrayed.
His trousers, always threadbare, looked like camlet the stuff of which attorneys' gowns are made; and his habitual stoop set them, in time, in such innumerable creases, that in places they were traced with lines, whitish, rusty, or shiny, betraying either sordid avarice, or the most unheeding poverty. His coarse worsted stockings were twisted anyhow in his ill-shaped shoes.
Fifth Avenue, save for an occasional cab or foot passenger, was bare. Broadway was thinly peopled with pedestrians. Only now and then a stranger passing noticed the small group, handed out a coin, and went away, unheeding. The captain remained stolid and determined. He talked on, very slowly, uttering the fewest words and with a certain assurance, as though he could not fail.
"Come, come!" cried the actress, clapping her hands, and perfectly unheeding his displeasure "why don't you help me off with my cloak? why don't you set me a chair? why don't you take this great box out of my way? why don't you Heaven help me!" and she stamped her little foot quite seriously on the floor. "A pretty person for a lover you are!" "Oho! then I am a lover, you acknowledge?"

Do you believe me?" Now she looked into his eyes again, but did not smile and did not shake her locks. "Oh, yes; that's true enough.
Unheeding it, he moved on toward the unhappy girl, and without a word or a look extended his hand. Therese, trembling, gave him hers, and started when she felt the burning clasp that closed upon her icy fingers.
Jumping over the trench, Lloyd raced across "No Man's Land," unheeding the rain of bullets, leaping over dark forms on the ground, some of which lay still, while others called out to him as he speeded past. He came to the German front line, but it was deserted, except for heaps of dead and wounded a grim tribute to the work of his Company, good old "D" Company.
These are the ghosts " He began to chuckle, but the sound of his malevolent merriment was like the hiccoughing of a drunken man. "Rosa! What have you done " Cobo ran on unheeding: "It must be a great treasure, indeed, from all accounts the ransom of a dozen kings. That's what Cueto said, 'The ransom of a dozen kings! Those were his very words."
One great reason why so many fail of making any success in life is that they have not the power of sticking steadily to their work. They get tired, and want to stop; whereas the true worker works though he is tired works till it doesn't tire him to work; works on, unheeding the numerous temptations to turn aside to this or that diversion.
He could not help feeling, too, that it was a great joke on Shorty to be caught in his own trap. Shorty took his medicine like a man, marching up and down the row of tents bravely and patiently, unheeding the gibes and jeers of his hard-hearted comrades. The bugle sounded the call for religious services. Shorty was not in a frame of mind that fitted him for devout worship.
