I touched their dust-covered faces with my finger, but Dagobert was deader than the sixteen centuries that have passed over him, Clovis slept well after his labor for Christ, and old Charlemagne went on dreaming of his paladins, of bloody Roncesvalles, and gave no heed to me. The great names of Pere la Chaise impress one, too, but differently.
Was it a dead man lying there alone, or was he only doped. But what could he do in the dark without tools or flash? He decided to stick with the machine, for he had no desire to foot it home, and anyway, with his bicycle he would be far more independent. Besides, there was the perfectly good automobile to think about. If the man was dead he couldn't be any deader.
I hope the same thing may not be true at present. It may chance that on this subject Master Porson will get stung through his coffin, before he is many years deader. Surely Christendom is not disturbed because a village suffers wrong; the sea is not roused because an eddy in a corner is boiling; the doctrine of the Trinity is not in danger because Mr.
It will have to be the law." "He's deader than anything!" broke in Billy. "He can't ever take all the meat any more." "Billy!" gasped Elnora. "Never you mind!" said Sinton. "A child doesn't say such things about a father who loved and raised him right. When it happens, the father alone is to blame. You won't hear Billy talk like that about me when I cross over."
And whose spirit doesn't meet in their thoughts, or works, the dead who are still living?" "Most true, I'm sure; but you didn't come to tell me that?"

"But to-day there has burst into my life a very wakening thing. It may have been sent.
I shall be forgotten, but I shall be forgotten in very good company. The greater part of my kin-folk and acquaintance, your own self, my critic, and your family and friends, will go down in the same darkness which ingulfs me. When I am dead, I shall be no deader than the rest of you, and I shall have been a great deal more alive while I was alive. I am not afraid to be forgotten.
Holt looked long at the man. "He's deader 'an a doornail," she said. "You stay where you are!" Kate picked her up by the shoulders, set her to one side, ran from the room and down the street as fast as possible. She found the doctor in his office with two patients. She had no time to think or temporize. "Get your case and come to our house quick, doctor," she cried.
"Indian?" exclaimed young Locke, sitting bolt upright; "this ain't a Redskin school; he's got to get put out, or I'm a deader."
And yet her eyes, the part that the rouge pot or the bead stick couldn't reach, seemed to grow deader and deader. The jazz band let out the crash of a new melody. The voices of the crowd rose in an "ah-ah-ah." Waiters were shoving fresh tables into the place, squeezing fresh arrivals around them. The flapper had paused in her breathless rigmarole of Johns and memories.
When the procession had fairly passed the house I released the boys and heard two prolonged howls for my pains. Then I asked Budge if he wasn't ashamed to talk that way when a funeral was passing. "'TWASN'T a funeral," said he. "'Twas only a deader, an' deaders can't hear nothin'." "But the people in the carriages could," said I.
