"Suppose he turns out to be some great man who might give us a new park or something like that," ventured Madaline rather hazily, "then we would all come in for honors, wouldn't we?" "I would rather come in for the park," Cleo inserted. "We need a few more if we are going to do much drilling this summer." "That man might be a writer, camping out there, who wants material," speculated Margaret.
A first attempt at burglary is not in all its aspects heroic, and I was wet, chilled, and anxious. "First actor on," murmured Merton. "Should like to have seen that interview. Can't be actor and audience both." I hazily reflected that for myself I was both, and that the actor had just then a sharp fit of stage-scare. I let him run on unanswered, while the rain poured down my back.
Hazily, that he was the law its representative, its defender, and then clear as the blue barrel in his hand, all the dimness and uncertainty gone, it came to him, that thing that made him say: "I am a Conway again!"
Many such thoughts wandered hazily through her mind as she now sat holding the hand of him who was fast sleeping away from her into death. Her eyes were fixed on the window through which he had entered that terrible night, but she saw nothing beyond it. "He is gone" said Polwarth in a voice that sounded unknown to the ears of Helen, and as he spoke he kneeled.
"Tell me, Adele." The girl moved uneasily. The doctor administered a stimulant and she vaguely opened her eyes, began to talk hazily, dreamily. Constance bent over to catch the faint words which would have been lost to the others.
And as water finds its levels, so will dust, earthly and human, the quick and the dead. It was after five in the afternoon. The sun was sinking, hazily but swiftly; ribbons of scarlet, ribbons of rose, ribbons of violet, lay one upon the other. The sun possessed no definite circle; a great blinding radiance like metal pouring from the mouth of a blast-furnace.
Hazily she was aware that he had released her; that she had raised her head; that against the rough tweed of his shoulder there lay a long, corn-gold hair. She laughed shakily and her hand went up to remove it; but he caught her fingers and held them to his face.
But now, let him make amends; select fresh ground; and from it rebuild their friendship. His mind ran forward hazily to some bold confidence or other, some dramatic appeal to Eleanor for sympathy and help. The affection between her and Miss Foster seemed to be growing closer. He thought of it uncomfortably, and with vague plannings of counter-strokes.
There, in front of the dim glow, something was moving. I saw it through a veil that hung before my eyes like the gauze drop-curtain used at the back of a theater hazily a little. It was neither a human figure nor an animal. To me it gave the strange impression of being as large as several animals grouped together, like horses, two or three, moving slowly.
Theos followed him, silent also, and wrapped in stern, and mournful musings of his own, . . musings through which faint threads of pale recollection connected with his past glimmered hazily from time to time, perplexing rather than enlightening his bewildered brain.
