He advanced, and stretching out his hand, dragged the veil off, unmasking a still, unreadable face, against which his nervous exasperation was shattered like a glass bubble flung against a rock. “That’s better,” he said, to cover his momentary uneasiness, and retreated back to his old station by the mantelpiece. It never entered his head that his wife could give him up.
Hooke and Ninnis on several evenings at about 11 o'clock have heard what happened to be faint messages, but unreadable. He sent word to Macquarie Island of this in hopes that they would hear and increase the power. "June 20. During this last blow with its accompanying drift-snow there has been much leakage of current from the aerial during the sending of reports.
After all, we might not have been watched while returning, I mean. Of course we were seen leaving the house." The girl sat down again. The great wealth of her hair looked very dark above her colourless face. She raised her eyes, glistening softly in the light with a sort of unreadable appeal, with a strange effect of unseeing innocence.
Some of them were so black and greasy from continued handling that the print at the edges of the pages was almost unreadable. These creeks swarmed with ptarmigan, and it was well they did, for the new camp was ill supplied with food, and we found ourselves in a region of growing scarcity as we approached the Iditarod.
A pause, then: "Nothing is going to be dreadful to me any more. It's all in the game, as Mr. Burlingham used to say." "Burlingham who's he?" It was Etta's first faint clew toward that mysterious past of Susan's into which she longed to peer. "Oh a man I knew. He's dead." A long pause, Etta watching Susan's unreadable face. At last she said: "You don't seem a bit excited."
He neither believed nor disbelieved her, but he knew that he had made a mistake in asking; he never had known, never would know, what she was thinking. The sight of her inscrutable face, the thought of all the hundreds of evenings he had seen her sitting there like that soft and passive, but unreadable, unknown, enraged him beyond measure.
"Louis Lambert," as a whole, is now quite unreadable; it contains some admirable descriptions, but the "scientific" portion is mere fantastic verbiage. There is something extremely characteristic in the way Balzac speaks of its having been optional with him to make it a "purely learned" work.
And since they would recognize no authority save that of force, it seemed meet and just to deal with them as they had dealt with us. So Piegan Smith and I stood aloof and watched the grim play, for the fate of a woman hung in the balance. Hicks' salient jaw was set, his expression unreadable. MacRae stacked the dry wood in a neat pyramid twelve inches from the bare soles of Hicks' feet.
Some of the things are quite unreadable to me though my family, with its Indian Civil Service associations, has kept up a knowledge of Hindustani from generation to generation and none are absolutely plain sailing. But I found the one that I knew was there soon enough, and sat on the floor by my safe for some time looking at it.
The entire envelope was covered with writing in various hands, among which I detected something which bore a faint resemblance to my name; but the address which followed was perfectly unreadable, not only to me, as it appeared, but also to the "experts" of the different post-offices, for it had been followed by sundry directions to try various places beginning with T, which seemed to be the letter commencing the "great unknown locality:" thus I read "try Tralee," "try Tyrone," "try Tanderagee," &c. &c.
