The cheek that lay against Andre-Louis's was leaden-hued, the half-open eyes were glazed, and there was a little froth of blood upon the vacuously parted lips. Half blinded by tears Andre-Louis stumbled after them when they bore the body into the inn.
But on the plain the sun continues to shine in vacuously benevolent fashion; nothing is felt of the tempest save unquiet breaths of wind that raise dust-eddies from the country roads and lash the sea into a mock frenzy of crisp little waves. It is the merest interlude. Soon the blue-black drifts have fled away from the mountains that stand out, clear and refreshed, in the twilight.
Folly on the contrary imagines that any scent is worth following, that we have an infinite nature, or no nature in particular, that life begins without obligations and can do business without capital, and that the will is vacuously free, instead of being a specific burden and a tight hereditary knot to be unravelled.
He trembled and shook like a man in a vertigo; the fingers of his upraised right hand opened and closed spasmodically; his flaccid lips fell apart, vacuously, insanely. "I'll kill her!" he ejaculated under his breath. MacNutt knew that his moment had come. Without a spoken word he caught his revolver up from his coat pocket. Then he thrust it, craftily, into the other man's hand.
Now Moe Griesman was attempting to buy up Sam's liabilities and close him up, so that there might be no competitor to Moe's new business in Cyprus. At length the humour of the situation appealed to Morris and he grinned vacuously at his partner. "Nu," Abe growled; "what are you laughing at?" "Nothing much, Abe," Morris replied. "I was only thinking that's all, Abe.
Magee, "I I'll have a talk with Peters. To be quite frank, I anticipate trouble. You see, the Hermit of Baldpate doesn't approve of women " "Don't approve of women," cried Mrs. Norton, her green eyes flashing. "Why not, I'd like to know?" "My dear madam," responded Mr. Magee, "only echo answers, and it but vacuously repeats, 'Why not?. That, however, is the situation. Mr. Peters loathes the sex.
In a bound Robin was on the hearth-rug, gripping my hand with his. "You mean it?" he roared. "I do. She is sleeping like a lamb." "Oh, man, I'm just glad! What does anything matter after that?" Then we sat down and smiled upon each other largely and vacuously. We were all a little unstrung that night, I think.
"Senator Rexhill, Gordon." Wade stared almost vacuously at her as she ran on with her news. "He came in with his daughter last night on the Sheridan stage. Isn't that glorious? You must go up to see him at once." "I will, of course," Wade said slowly, trying to catch his mental balance. "And with pleasure, too. It's been a long time since I last saw either of them." "You know them him?"
He took the lantern from her hand, and swung the shaft of light on the glimmering copper. From there he looked back at her face once more. Then, in one illuminating flash of comprehension, it was all clear to him. With a stare of blank wonder he saw and understood, and fell back appalled at the demoniacal ingenuity of it all. "I see! I see!" he repeated, vacuously, almost.
Hen sat with his big-jointed hands hanging loosely over his knees and listened, stared at Bud and grinned vacuously when one song was done, gulped his Adam's apple and listened again as raptly to the next one.
