From time to time he talked with those who were about him; from time to time there were flashes of that quaint wit which is linked, as his greatness, with his name, but his mind was to-day dispirited, unhopeful.
All his thronging thoughts were tinged with the gloom of his unhopeful mood; and his body sagged with his sagging spirit. Before he had walked four miles, his legs refused to carry him any farther. He had emerged into the open, into full view of the vastness beyond.
It is possible too, that they might permit our whaling vessels to refresh in Brazil, or give some other indulgences in America. The lethargic character of their ambassador here, gives a very unhopeful aspect to a treaty on this ground. I lately spoke with him on the subject, and he has promised to interest himself in obtaining an answer from his court.
But now I noticed that the pseudo-bandits wore a watchful and not unhopeful air. And suddenly one of them whistled a thin, shrill note that had, as Tish later remarked, great penetrative power without being noisy. "That's enough of that," she said. "Aggie, take another of these guns and point them both at these gentlemen. If they whistle again, shoot.
In the church of Rome the movement is typified by men like Father Tyrrell, whose teaching has led to his expulsion from the Jesuit order, but not, so far, from the priesthood.

"Does Mrs.
And at the end of things you walk off to make your fortune without committing yourself; without knowing, or apparently caring, what your stiff-necked poverty-pride may cost her in years of uncertainty. You deserve to lose her." Kent's smile was a fair measure of his unhopeful mood. "You can't well lose what you have never had. I'm not such an ass as to believe that she cared greatly."
I have made him an outlaw! I have banished him!" And for days she lay like one whose soul was sped. Well, the young lord came not back, nor would he write; so we knew not whether he were alive or dead. Yet were Marian and myself not unhopeful, for full oft did the heady boy find some such cause of disagreement with his sister to abide apart from her.
