"Dressing, presumably," and occasional throaty sounds of impatience from Jervaise that are beyond the representative scope of typography. I have heard much the same noises proceed from the throat of an unhopeful pig engaged in some minor investigation. The rain was falling less heavily, and towards the west a pale blur of light was slowly melting its way through the darkness.
Last year we sold Bibles, Testaments, good books and periodicals, to the value of 6700 pounds, besides distributing more than 300,000 tracts, and speaking to many people the blessed Word of Life. It is true we have not yet done much in public-houses, but, as you saw just now, it is not an unhopeful field.
I asked hastily, but not without hope, from the lack of signs of disturbance. "Where is she?" he asked feebly, with a touch of impatience. "Is she not here?" "She went out. I thought I heard a shot. Where is she?" "I will go and see," and I ran out again, still not unhopeful. It might be that Krok had seen Torode's ship and his fears for Carette had magnified matters.
And indeed the contrition seemed to have gathered force in many a past fit of remorse, and now was deep but not unhopeful. In the evening the father and brother arrived. The Major was now an old man, hale indeed, and with the beauty that a pure, self- restrained life often sheds on an aged man.
If he could outpace the runaway on the parallel line, stop the octopod and dash across to the C. G. R. track ahead of the Rosemary, there was one chance in a million that he might fling himself upon the car in mid flight and alight with life enough left to help Calvert with the hand-brakes. Now, in the most unhopeful struggle it is often the thing least hoped for that comes to pass.
"But as I said," Olive began again, abruptly ending the unhopeful suspense of our pause, "there's nothing more we can do by sitting up. And there's certainly no need for you to overtire yourself, mother." "No, really not," urged Ronnie politely, "nor for you, either, sir," he added, addressing his host. "What I mean is, Frank and I'll do all that." "Rather, let's get a drink," Frank agreed.
A gleeful look of triumph caused his face, as it were, to sparkle, and he said, eagerly "We'll winter at the North Pole, father, eh?" This was greeted with a general laugh. "But seriously, uncle, what do you mean to do?" asked Leonard Vandervell, who, with his brother, was not unhopeful that the Captain meditated something desperate. "Benjy is not far off the mark.
At a happier time this news would have been received with enthusiasm all over Ireland; now, the most one could say was that it delighted the Convention. It would be quite wrong, however, to regard Redmond's attitude in these days as unhopeful. The first meetings of the Nine were fruitful of much agreement conditional at all points on general ratification.
Perhaps in the case of the young Contessa Violante her great-aunt had sought to find some attendant and companion for her who should have a tendency to correct that too great proclivity to retirement from the world to a life in which religion was the chief interest and occupation, and to a sad and unhopeful view of the world around and before her which she lamented in her niece.
Perhaps the intensity of Mary's prayers had been returned into her bosom, in the strong blindness of filial love; for as she dwelt fondly on the few signs of better things, the narration fell mournfully on Louis's ears, as that of an unhopeful deathbed. An exceeding unwillingness to contemplate death, had prevented Mr. Ponsonby from making a new will.
