They had not even noticed the ancient sarcophagus in front of the altar except as 'some odd kind of sculptured ornament. When they wore told what it was, they smiled vacuously, and said: 'How curious! But further than this mild and non-aggressive exclamation they did not venture.
Night, and Martin Garrity, snow-crusted, his face cut and cracked by the bite of wind and the sting of splintered, wind-driven ice, his head aching from loss of sleep, but his heart thumping with happiness, took on the serious business of moving every St. Louis-Kansas City passenger and express train, blinked vacuously when someone called him a wizard.
A battered alarm clock with never a tick left in its abused carcass rang vacuously as it fell by the open bag.... The remainder was oranges: a dozen or more small, round, golden globes of ripe fruit, perhaps a shade overripe, therefore the more aromatic. The adventurer ripped out an oath. "Mulready, by the living God!" he raged in fury. "Done up, I swear!
His lower jaw drooped in vacuous harmony. He busied himself in arranging Lady Greystoke's meal upon the tiny table at one side of her cabin. The Russian glared at him. "What do you mean," he cried, "by entering here without permission? Get out!" The cook turned his watery blue eyes upon Rokoff and smiled vacuously.

I think it was a perceptible time before I realized that the stains were blood, and that the faces around were filled with suspicion and distrust. "Why, it that looks like blood," I said vacuously.
"But when I start I shall only shock you more." "Well, we had better get it over, then. Say the most serious thing you have to say, and be done with it!" Then Prince Max drew a bold breath. "Oh, go on!" groaned the King. "Conditionally, then, I am already engaged to be married." The King's mind went vacuously all round the Courts of Europe, and returned to him again empty. "Whom to?" he inquired.
The idea of Umslopogaas, that man of blood and iron, bringing flowers to a young lady, was so absurd that I broke out laughing and even the sad-faced Inez smiled. Then she left me to see about something and I went to speak to Hans and asked him what had happened. "Something rather queer, I think, Baas," he answered vacuously, "though I did not quite understand the last part.
We must play for something what shall it be? 'Oh for nothing, the curate vacuously remarked. 'That's for love, you rogue! exclaimed the Squire. 'Come, come, none o' that, sir ha! ha!
