"You were on the floor with her," said Octavia, undeflected, "five times at the Hammersmiths'." "Hammersmiths' what?" questioned Teddy, vacuously. "Ball ball," said Octavia, viciously. "What were we talking of?" "Eyes, I thought," said Teddy, after some reflection; "and elbows."
Then he went to the open window, and looked out, almost as vacuously, over the unbroken blue distance of the Mediterranean, trembling into soft ribbons of silver where the wind rippled its surface, yellowing into a fluid gold towards the path of the lowering sun, deepening, again, into a brooding turquoise along the flat rim of the sea to the southward where the twin tranquilities of sky and water met.
From it her youthful shoulders and slim neck rose creamily, surmounted by a small head banded boyishly with golden hair. Her wide eyes were china blue, her nose piquantly retroussé and she was as vacuously pretty as a wax doll. "How do you do?" She came forward with a graceful fluttering movement. "You are Willa, aren't you? I hope we are going to be terribly good friends.

At this moment a pleasant-faced young officer came out of the tent, and, taking in the situation at a glance, addressed Pierre in French: "Well, my boy," said he, kindly, "what are you doing here so early?"

Being thus happily placed, he drew two huge American six-shooters, whereof his possession was wrapped in mystery even to himself, and blazed vacuously, yet ferociously, at the moon.
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!
