Not but what it is all right so far as I am concerned; only " Then, wordlessly, his god must have accused him, for he winced. "I am not, not in the least!" he said. The denial confessed him to himself, and there was an angry bang of discordant octaves. The two girls called out in dismay. "Oh, do stop!" Elizabeth said. Blair got up from the piano-stool and came over to them silently.
Dodd swept cold sweat from his forehead as he remembered; he found almost the same expression now on her face as she gazed down on Walker Farr, who stared back at her anxiously, perceiving a grief that he could not understand. In that vast assemblage those three, thus wordlessly, no one marking them, fought a tragic battle of hopeless love with their eyes.
"I'll pick up another horse at the next ranch," he offered casually by way of explanation. "And we had better hit the trail. It's getting late." Wordlessly she followed, her eyes held, fascinated by the great, tall bulk of him swinging on in front of her, carrying the heavy saddle with as little care to its weight as if he had been entirely unconscious of it, as no doubt such a man could be.
He fell forward on his knees, an arm overturning the bottle of beer; and, his sleeve dabbled in it, he pressed his head against the cold edge of the table, praying wordlessly for faith, incoherently ravished by the marvel of salvation, the knowledge of God here, everywhere. The harmony wavered and sank, and out of the shuddering silence that followed Lemuel Doret turned again from the city.
Go on, Fred; I'll sit in here with the trunk and you and Betty needn't mind me." Without waiting for an invitation, he swung himself up on top of the trunk, and smiled pleasantly.

Fred opened his mouth and closed it wordlessly.
One instant.. and a weird lament came sobbing from the smitten violin, a wildly beautiful despair was wordlessly proclaimed, . . a melody that went straight to the heart and made it ache, and burn, and throb with a rising tumult of unlanguaged passion and desire!
So, after another icy look at his unconscious back, she followed wordlessly in Brice's wake. Now that he was on dry land again and on his way to the house where, at the very least, a stormy scene might be expected, the man's spirits seemed to rise, almost boyishly. The blood was running again through his veins. The cool night air was drying his soaked clothes.
Mother and son understood each other wordlessly, having much in common. Hence Nick. "Hello, Ma!" She was slamming expertly about the kitchen. "Hello, yourself," said Ma. Ma had a line of slang gleaned from her numerous brood. It fell strangely from her lips. Ma had never quite lost a tinge of foreign accent, though she had come to America when a girl.
Translated into words Barbee's merry notes were: "Oh, I don't give a damn for no damn man that don't give a damn for me!" Blenham understood and scowled at him; Bill Royce's hesitant soul may have drawn comfort and strength from a sympathy wordlessly expressed. At any rate his reply came suddenly now: "I've took a good deal off'n you, Blenham," he said quietly. "I'd be glad to take all I could.
Toward daylight the lame knee began to give trouble. White Quiver came back and put his shoulder under Ongyatasse's, so we moved forward, wordlessly.
