From cimmerian, abysmal darkness to Sahara-desert glare!" "Yes, sir," said Jarvis, as if on the point of digging a grave for himself. "Beg pardon, sir." He effaced himself, in shadows, somewhere behind Hastings, who seized the opportunity to speak. "Miss Sloane suggested that you wanted certain information. In fact, she asked me to see you." "My daughter? Oh, yes!"
But you won't get much satisfaction out of me." The colonel thought he should get all kinds of satisfaction. His glance told that. How much of the contentment of it, Jeffrey wondered, with a cynical indulgence for life as it is, came from tobacco and how much from him? "You see I'm not the chap I was," he blundered, trying to open his father's eyes to the abysmal depth of his futility.
At one time they opened up beneath us, and revealed the Aras valley with its glittering ribbon of silver at an abysmal depth below. Now and then we could descry the black volcanic peaks of Ali Ghez forty miles away to the northwest, and on the southwest the low mountains that obscured the town of Bayazid.
A murmur, a growling plaint rose from the swollen Tiber, and Pierre shivered at the icy abysmal breath which swept past his face.

I tell you, Kirtley and I want you to mark my words Deutschland is going to spring at Europe like a tiger. The army and navy are ready for the onslaught.
Our quarantine was up on Sunday morning, but at the eleventh hour it was noised about that we should not leave, because a lorcha which we had to tow had failed to get her clearance papers.

When I have fought my way into it, I turn to survey our position, and find I have been carrying on my battle on the brink of an abysmal hole whose mouth is concealed among the rocks and scraggly shrubs just above our camp.
