The war-cry of York began to be rolled up to heaven, as by many and triumphant voices. And at the same time the men in front of him began to give ground rapidly, streaming out of the street and back upon the market-place. Some one gave the word to fly. Trumpets were blown distractedly, some for a rally, some to charge.
But in these days, thanks to our modern system of education, it does not seem to me strange that religion should be called into question. I myself would never marry a Protestant, had she millions, even if I loved her distractedly. Faith is a thing that cannot be tampered with. 'Una fides, unus Dominus, that is my device in life."
In another second, he was out of sight. "Come back! Come back!" screamed the Comfortable Camel, running around distractedly. "I doubt we'll ever see him again!" groaned the Doubtful Dromedary, craning his neck upward. "Do something! Do something!" begged Dorothy. At which the Scarecrow jumped up and dashed toward the little farmhouse.
Baxter who sprang up wildly and, with his body bent forward, his eyes distended and his mouth wide open, began plunging distractedly about the room, with both hands to his face, as if in mortal anguish. "Oh, Solomon! What is it?" And Miss Roberts sprang up, in her turn. But Mr. Solomon Baxter only paused to clasp his face more closely and groan, and then resumed his former antics.
Spruce, fumbling distractedly with the tea-things, and putting cream and sugar recklessly into three or four cups without thinking; "There! Really, I don't know what I am a-doin' of do you like cream and sugar, my dear? beggin' your parding Miss Maryllia?"
The letter concluded with the extraordinary words, "Lionel, the shadow of deception and falsehood rests upon us both, and from no fault of ours. Yours distractedly, Cuthbert Lascelles." "The shadow of deception and falsehood! no fault of ours! yours distractedly!" Whatever could it all mean? The closing words of the letter, "yours distractedly," puzzled me most of all.
His stepmother evidently thought him stricken with sudden insanity and strove distractedly to select, from the heaped pile of her reasons for so thinking, some few which might be cited without too great offense to her brother's mode of life: "Why, what a strange idea, Arnold! What ever made you think of such a thing? You wouldn't like it!"
Refuse to do it, her Majesty, your Royal Brother, you yourself Royal Highness, God only knows what the unheard-of issue will be for you all! Do it, let us advise you: you must, you must! Wilhelmina wrung her hands; ran distractedly to and fro; the well-affected whispering to her, the others "conversing at a window." At length she did it.
Adieu, then, my dear Vaudrey!" She extended her hand to him, that soft hand that imparted an electrical influence when he touched it. "Well, what! You are pouting?" "I love you," he replied distractedly. "I love you, you hear, and I wish to keep you!" "Ah! no, no! no roughness," she said with a laugh, as he, taking a seat near her, tried to draw her to him in his arms.
Windsor looked rather distractedly towards Lady Locke, who was reading a military article in the Pall Mall Magazine with deep attention. "They can see a little without, I suppose, but not very much." "Then are they blind?" "No, only short-sighted. And then their father is a clergyman, you know, and clergymen generally wear spectacles. So perhaps they inherit it." "What! the spectacles?"
