At the window of a shabby-genteel London lodging-house a young woman sat, this dreary April evening, looking out at the cheering prospect of dripping roofs and muddy pavement. She sat with her chin resting on her hands, staring vacantly at the passers-by, with eyes that took no interest in what she saw.
Gatewood replied rather vacantly: "Oh, yes; I'm dining here. Good-by, Tommy." Kerns glanced at his watch, lingering. "Was there anything you wished to ask me, Jack?" he inquired guilelessly. "Ask you? No, I don't think so." "Oh; I had an idea you might care to know where Keen & Co. were to be found." "That," said Gatewood firmly, "is foolish."
There was no one within it: yes, upon the hearth-rug lay the motionless form of Mrs. Basil; she was lying on her face; and, rushing forward, Harry knelt down beside her, and strove to lift her in her arms. Some instinct seemed to forbid her to call for assistance. "What is it? what is it?" gasped the old woman, looking vacantly up in the other's face. "You have been unwell, dear madam.
Lakamba had put one leg over his knee, and went on gently scratching it with a meditative air, while Babalatchi, sitting cross-legged, seemed suddenly to become smaller and very limp, staring straight before him vacantly. The guard evinced some interest in the proceedings, stretching themselves full length on the mats to be nearer the speaker.
Each man stared straight in front of him, some vacantly with resignation, some trying to amuse themselves by noting minutely every object in their field of vision, the cinder piles, the long shadows of the barracks and mess halls where they could see men standing about, spitting, smoking, leaning against clapboard walls. Some of the men in line could hear their watches ticking in their pockets.
"No fear, Letta," he said, "the poor fellow is not dying; he is only in a very profound sleep, having been much exhausted and nearly killed yesterday. Hallo, Robin! awake at last?" Robin, who had been roused by the voices, rubbed his eyes, yawned vociferously, and looked vacantly round. "Well, now, that's most extraordinary; it isn't a dream after all!"
"I shall certainly not owe my second to you," responded the governor; then he looked vacantly before him. "I have the pleasure to wish you good morning," he said. When Rann had gone, and the door had slammed after him, Galt turned, with a laugh.
The Chinese langage and manner, however, are difficult to an addle-pated foreigner. I, poor foolish fellow, endeavoring to treat the Chinese in a manner identical to that which he would have employed had conditions been reversed, stared vacantly and woodenly into a seemingly bewildering infinite, and timidly remarked, "O t'ing puh lai."
The poor girl's wretchedness at this time was beyond all fancy or narration. She had sunk down on the lowest stair; and there she sat, her mouth blue and dry, and her dark eyes fixed vacantly upon him, as if she wondered whether it were not all a terrible illusion. Then Troy spoke. "Bathsheba, I come here for you!" She made no reply. "Come home with me: come!"
Did you ever watch a baby's fingers? I have, often enough, though I never knew what it was to own one. -The Master paused half a minute or so, sighed, perhaps at thinking what he had missed in life, looked up at me a little vacantly. I saw what was the matter; he had lost the thread of his talk. Baby's fingers, I intercalated.
