In a month in six months? Tell me only one thing there is no one who has forestalled me? You are not pledged to another?" Lettice stood up the effort was necessary in order to control her beating heart and trembling nerves. She did not reply. She only looked out to the sunlit landscape with wide, unseeing eyes, in which lurked a secret, unspoken dread.
Leigh is a student of stars, and therefore he is more concerned with the reader than with the book. If you will persist in shining upon him so dazzlingly, you cannot be surprised if he turns an unseeing eye upon any object you may present for his inspection. Now, since I have basked longer in your light, I may perhaps allow me." He reached for the book and began to turn over the leaves.
"I feel that I have found a friend to-night." Amanda, brilliant in a scarlet frock and pink ribbons, appeared in the doorway. The vague, almost unseeing look with which the teacher turned to her was interpreted by the vanity of this buxom damsel to be the dazzled vision of eyes half blinded by her radiance.
This was not easy she did not know just how persons who were somnambulists acted, but she had read descriptions of such cases, and had once seen a play in which one of the characters was a sleep walker. She tried to give her eyes a vacant, unseeing expression, and fearlessly approached the door. It stood slightly ajar, and through the glass panels she saw at once that the room was Dr.
For some unaccountable reason there was one vacant seat left in the car and she dropped into it with a little inward sigh of relief. With weary, unseeing, eyes she stared out of the window at the throng of people hurrying along through the mud and slush of the streets. Her tired brain refused to think. Her very soul was faint with loneliness and the knowledge that she was gaining of life.
Beulah asked, in the tone she was given to use when she asked Gertrude and Margaret and Jimmie but not often Peter what they expected to do with their lives. Eleanor turned a desperate face from the window, from the row of bland elegant apartment buildings she had been contemplating with unseeing eyes. "Do I have to?" she asked Beulah piteously. "Have to what?"
Through these I wandered at last on to the terrace, and rested my arms on the low balustrade, looking with unseeing eyes across the lawn, with its tropical trees standing motionless in the golden haze. Everything around me was very still, and a peculiar strained calm seemed to be upon me also the calm of an intense desire, hushed and expectant, in all the blood.
He was bent over in a crushed, stupid attitude, his hands hanging limply between his knees. "Oh, Mr. Walker!" He raised his forlorn eyes. "Why did you want to tell me?" "Because I wanted to say that. I was afraid, if any one else did it, they'd leave it out." He gazed at her long with a dull, unintelligent, unseeing expression.
We are to show humanity to ourselves; we are to stamp out this lit fuse. Or does Major Carrington wish it to burn on?" "No," said Carrington coldly. "I spoke hastily. You are right, of course, and I will interfere no further." An hour later Patricia stood before the hall window looking out upon the dazzling water and the green velvet of the marshes with wide, unseeing eyes.
He listened to her steps on the stairs, and to the opening of the front door as his father brought in the morning paper. Then he fingered one stocking abstractedly. Half an hour later, prompted by Mrs. Fletcher's remonstrances, her husband came up and found the boy staring with unseeing eyes far over the railroad tracks into the park.
