He rose quickly, and, with averted face, held out his hand to her; but as she made no motion to grasp the hand, he began distractedly to button his coat, and moved slowly away. "Ralph." He turned sharply, and, before he knew it, she lay sobbing upon his breast. "Ralph," she murmured, while the tears almost choked her words, "I could not have you leave me thus. It is hard enough it is hard enough "
Nothing surpassed such a plunge after a broken night. But of late he had had to be wary of indulging: a bath of this kind, taken when he was over-tired, was apt to set the accursed tic a-going; and then he could pace the floor in agony. And yet... Good God, how hot it was! His head ached distractedly; an iron band of pain seemed to encircle it.
How unfortunate that his nephew had not shown signs of madness earlier! It would have been so easy with the assistance of the family physician and lawyer to have confined him in a private sanitarium. And the Colonel fondly pictured his nephew wandering distractedly through a long suite of padded cells but, alas! the bird had flown.

But as soon as she understood him she shook her head.
But he asked no questions of any man now, no longer roved distractedly among the sects, took no share in the discussions rife in his own church.
"Fleshy, you say? An old man? A stout old man?" she held her hands distractedly pressed to her head. "What stout old man does Karen know? Is it a stranger she has met?" "No, he wasn't old. This was a young man, Baroness. He had now let me see his hair was sort of red I remember noticing his hair; and he wore knee-pants and a soft hat with a feather in it and was very high coloured." "Bon Dieu!"

The girl in question, having perceived that the King came secretly to see her companion, while she was neglected, watched his arrival, and, at the moment he entered with the Abbess, who was about to withdraw, she rushed distractedly into the room where her rival was. She immediately threw herself at the King's feet.
