He spoke calmly now, but it was not hard to discern his great excitement. "I quarrel, sir, with nobody except quarrellers," answered the Frenchman impatiently. "Well, then " began Wetter. "I think you forget my presence," I said coldly, "and this lady's also." I waved my hand toward Coralie. She lay back in her chair, smiling and holding an unlighted cigarette between her fingers.
Some of the boys who figured on the stage that day are dead; but others are alive and of those I am not the only one writhing in the coils of the serpent of alcohol, though not one of them has fallen so low as I. If at that time I might have been permitted to lift the curtain and looked down future-ward through the unlighted years of shame, and weariness, and suffering, I think the dreadful vision would have stayed me forever in a career which has only grown darker and more unendurable with every step.
The Squire found in his office Sibley, one of his partners, a heavy old man, who carried the indifferent manners of a farmer's son into a middle age of successful business. He sat with his chair tilted back, a huge Cabana cigar hanging unlighted from the corner of his mouth. He made no movement towards rising, but gave his hand as he sat, and said: "There, Penhallow, just read that!"
There was a rumor that the Vigilantes were sending out parties to search for you when Carlos started home. Señor Allen is lucky to get off so easily." Jack held a match unlighted in his fingers while he studied the face of José.
Wilding followed him, still further convinced that he was on a hopeless search. The sheriff went into the office and led the way up to an unlighted second-story room, hardly more than an attic where, in the dust and gloom, slightly dissipated by the rays of a flashlight, he disclosed several boxes and transfer cases over which he stooped. "Nineteen hundred.
"How perfectly stupid of us." Elinor had her key in the door and she flung it open on an unlighted interior as she spoke. "Very stupid indeed, my dear," she admitted cheerfully, "but it's too late to remedy it now. Besides, I don't see how you'd have got a room in Artemis Lodge in any other way."
And while he waits he chews an unlighted cigar and divides his attention between the map and the clock an old Louis XVI timepiece with marble columns, which ticks off the minutes almost soundlessly. How slowly its hands go round! How interminable seems the wait for news!
And a prayer rose to his lips, a prayer of earnest supplication for guidance and support. Was that prayer answered? The stage rumbled through the naked suburbs and along the unlighted streets. "Where do you stop?" asked the driver. "Set me down at a boarding-house, if you know of a good one." For Salmon could not afford to go to a hotel. "What sort of a boarding-house? I know of a good many.
"I take my hat off to you, Miss Wallace, when it comes to observing and deducing, but I'm afraid your theorizing is weak." "I never theorize," she reminded me. "All I deal with is facts." She had perched herself on an overturned box, and was watching Worth sort junk. I leaned against the roof-house, pushed Kite's donated cigar unlighted into a corner of my mouth and stared at her.
In the midst of a nightmare that lived over his flight from the bronchos across the desert, he was roused with a start to alert wakefulness. Some heavy-breathing creature was stealthily shuffling about in the black night of the unlighted room. A thump, followed by a muttered curse, betrayed the identity of the prowler.
