The prisoner bent his tall gaunt figure over the rail, and as the woman pressed his one hand against her face, touched her shoulders with the other awkwardly. "There, now," he whispered, soothingly, "don't you take on so. Now you know how I feel, it's all right; don't take on." Judge Truax looked at the paper on his desk for some seconds, and raised his head, coughing as he did so.
She wondered what sort of a palace home was that owned by the beautiful lady; and whether the king, if king the stranger were, presided at his banquet table as awkwardly as did Esbern Lynge at the mean board here. At the twilight, Hyldreda did not steal out as usual to talk with her lover beneath the rose-porch.
A curious shyness possessed Tim now, a thing which he had never felt in his life. He moved about self-consciously, awkwardly, until at last there was a sudden silence over by the brook. Tim looked, and saw the face of the kneeling man cleared and quiet and shining. He hesitated, then stepped out, and came over. "Have you got it?" he asked, quietly. "It's noon now."
"I wish you had told me sooner that Lady Anne was likely to be there I don't wish to meet her so awkwardly: I am not well enough yet, indeed, to go to these odious, hot, close places; and, besides, I hate seeing sights." Helena, with much good humour, said that she would rather give up seeing the sight than be troublesome to her mother.
He took her hands and kissed her, almost awkwardly. "It still feels rather like a dream," was all he could find to say and fancied he caught a flicker of amusement in her eyes.

"Dorothy," he began, awkwardly, and with painful embarrassment, "I've got something thet must needs be said an' I don't rightly know how to say it." She looked up into his set face and smiled. "Can I help you say it?" she inquired, and he burst out passionately, "Until he come, you seemed to like me. Now you don't think of nobody else but jest him ... and I hates him."
They were, besides, plainly no more than serving-men: one wore some kind of a livery; the other, a strongly-built man who sat his horse awkwardly, was in new clothes that did not fit him. They rode ordinary hackneys; and each had luggage strapped behind his saddle. All this the priest saw as they came up the narrow street and halted before the inn door.

She got into bed, lay down on her back, pulled the sheet over us, laying bare her splendid belly, and, at the same time, opening her magnificent limbs and desiring me to get upon her, telling me she had a sheath in her body, which, when my hard doodle was put within, would soon relieve it of its stiffness. I got awkwardly upon her.
And he fell so awkwardly that his head stuck in the mud and his legs went into the air. At the sight of the puppet kicking violently with his head in the mud, the Serpent went into convulsions of laughter, and laughed, and laughed, until he broke a blood-vessel in his chest and died. And that time he was really dead.
He pictured the flaring restaurants, the banks with corrugated iron locked across their fronts; the faces of the negroes brought black and lurid out of the surrounding blackness. Savina, awake, demanded a drink, and he held a clay water monkey awkwardly to her lips.
