He looked old, and had now a pent-house of bristly eyebrows of a different colour from his hair. Pete had often seen him on the road riding by. "Well, my lad, what can I do for you?" he said. He spoke in a jerky voice, as if he thought to overawe the boy. Pete fumbled his stocking cap. "Mothers dead," he answered vacantly. The Ballawhaine knew that already.
The two figures in the mirror could not meet face to face, except he turned and looked at her, present in his room; and, as she was not there, he concluded that if he were to turn towards the part in his room corresponding to that in which she lay, his reflection would either be invisible to her altogether, or at least it must appear to her to gaze vacantly towards her, and no meeting of the eyes would produce the impression of spiritual proximity.
Mary leaned forward in her chair and looked at Sanderson with eager, questioning eyes. Sanderson stared vacantly back at her. She held the letter up to him. "This is father's answer, telling the man to come on. How on earth did you get hold of it?" Sanderson had slumped down in his chair. He saw discovery and disgrace in prospect.
As it was the ace of trumps, Buffle's indignation arose, and so did his person and pistol. "Hang yer," said he, savagely; "yer don't come that game on me. I've got that ace myself." An ordinary man would have drawn pistol also, but Buffle's antagonist knew his only safety lay in keeping quiet, so he only stared vacantly at the muzzle of the revolver, that was so precisely aimed at his own head.
She turned slowly towards her mother, groped forward a few steps, turned once more, stretching out her hands towards the vague still figure whose eyes had called so piteously to her out of their depths, and fell fainting in the doorway. Lawford stood motionless, vacantly watching Sheila, who knelt, chafing the cold hands. 'She has fainted? he said; 'oh, Sheila, tell me only fainted?
There was a desk in one room; ink in the well, notepaper bearing the name of Portlaw's camp. She looked at it and passed on to her bedroom. But after she had unlaced and, hair unbound, stood staring vacantly about her, she remembered the desk; and drawing on her silken chamber-robe, went into the writing-room.
But your clan has land enough now, for many of the men of Shyuamo have gone over to Shipapu!" He dropped Tyope's hand, wiped away the tears that were forcing themselves to his eyes, and stood in silence. Not one of the bystanders moved; the Hishtanyi Chayan lifted his eyes to the sky, Tyope stared vacantly. He seemed to stagger. The delegate from the Water clan grasped his hand again, and said,
Siward, unusually gay for awhile, presently turned sombre; and it was Plank's turn to lift him out of it by careless remarks about his rapid convalescence, and the chance for vacation he so much needed. Once Siward looked up vacantly: "Where am I to go?" he asked. "I'd as soon stay here." "But I'm going," insisted Plank. "The Fells is all ready for us." "The Fells! I can't go there!"
Before he could answer the door opened and a red zouave came in, carrying his rifle and knapsack. "Mother," he said in an awed voice, "Jimmy Lent is dead!" "What!" He looked stupidly around the room, resting his eyes on Letty and Berkley, then dropped heavily onto a chair. "Jim's dead," he repeated vacantly. "He only arrived here yesterday transferred from his militia to McDunn's battery.
Tassard, afloat and progressing north!" He looked at me vacantly, and giving his head a shake exclaimed, "How can I crawl from this mound? My strength is gone." If I was amazed that the joyful intelligence I had delivered produced no other response than this querulous inquiry, I was far more astonished by the sound of his voice.
