dully
- r without liveliness
she nodded her head dully - r without luster or shine
the light shone dully through the haze
unpolished buttons glinted dully
- On the Missouri nearsighted little men in anachronistic top hats and clawhammer coats dully accepted defeat.
- Au Bon March, the city's biggest department store, put on a bitter window display: at a table sat a cadaverous old man, muffled against the winter and staring dully at his rations.
- Oblivious to the causes of her plight, Alina sits at the edge of the entrance to her hole, staring dully at the Gara du Nord passersby.
