When it was all over and she came out from under the opiate, she lay for a while, open-eyed but unseeing, too inert to grope for the lost thread of memory. She felt a stirring in the bed beside her, the movement of some living thing. She looked and there, squeezed into the edge of the pillow was a miniature head of a little old man wrinkled, copperish. Yet the face was fat ludicrously fat.
Her passing and repassing before his abstracted and unseeing vision had become slightly monotonous, and for the first time he focused his eyes back from their distant view of pulp marshes and stock certificates and inspected the girl directly. Why, he knew that girl! It was Miss Hastings. As if in obedience to his steady gaze she looked across at him and waved her basket.
Friedrich's exhausted body sank upon the moss of the upper, and the bracken and small shrubs closed over him, as if to shield him in their gentle embrace from the trouble that had driven him to their care. He lay on his back, staring with unseeing eyes at the tree-leaves far above his head, black against the sky's purple. His mind seemed to be exhausted with his body.
There had been no arrangement to follow the body to its grave and when they thought of the son and the attitude he had always maintained toward them they wondered whether or not he wanted them to follow. And McGregor was unconscious of all this. He sat in the carriage beside the minister and with unseeing eyes stared over the heads of the horses.
But ever keep this before you: there is no greater nor more necessary work in the world than putting the truth of God into visible form in a pure and quiet life. Louise stood looking out of the window with unseeing eyes. There was a troubled expression upon her face. There were tears in her eyes, and a lump in her throat. What was the trouble?
Zen the proudest moment of my life except one was when a kid in the office who couldn't come into my room without trembling jumped up and said 'We WILL win! and called me Grant! Think of that! Poor chap.... What was I saying? Oh, yes; Phyllis. I grew to like her very much but I couldn't marry her. You know why." Zen was looking into the fire with unseeing eyes.
The fact that I was approaching an acquaintance, albeit a dumb and unseeing one, now made me for the first time conscious of my personal appearance so persistently reflected by the shop windows. Before one of them I stopped and surveyed myself. Truly I was a sorry-looking object. I had not been well washed or combed since the last morning at Mrs.
But she raised the whole to her lips, and pressed it there, while her eyes, as they slowly filled with tears, travelled unseeing to the wintry street beyond the window. Eyes and face wore the same expression as Wilfrid Bury had surprised there the dumb utterance of a woman hard pressed, not so much by the world without as by some wild force within.
Baldoon must either have been a very stupid man or a wilfully blind one, for his bride of snow seemed to look on everything that took place with vacant, unseeing, unsmiling eyes, and spoke and acted as one in a dream. In the evening there was a dance.
He felt his frame straighten as this thought sank home. He could be of some use yet. At any rate, there was a way out. Some whim led him through the grove of spruce trees on his way back to the ranch. Here, in an open space, he looked about, kicking in the dry grass. At length his toe disturbed a few bleached bones, and he stood and looked with unseeing eyes far across the shimmering valley.
