Backing into a corner, Henry waited, his eyes still blinded by the change from light to darkness; but he heard the opening of the panel, and the soft swish of a woman's skirts. "Julie!" His lips formed the word, but no sound issued from him as he launched himself forward. For a few seconds he closed with his adversary.
The Land Office adherents needed all the political backing they could procure; and the friends of Chairman Gay epitomized political backing. So the Land Office, too, was anxious to please the Chairman. At the same time Simeon Wright had bestirred himself. There seems to be no good and valid reason for owning a senator if you don't use him.
She spurred him, and then as he made a little leap forward, checked him, and that was yet worse. Then I saw Erpwald, with an ashy face, dismount and go hastily toward the edge behind her, sidelong, and I swung my horse away from him, so that by chance hers might follow me out of danger. But that was useless. The brute was yet backing, and his heels were almost on the brink.
"There was danger of trouble, even before the boy went out," he went on. "Morton stood by the door and heard it all." This Morton was the sailmaker in the starboard watch. "The big Cockney in the port watch was all for trouble, a rush aft of all hands; he said he had the backing of my watch. The squareheads were willing; they want revenge.
He had been thinking the same thing himself. Bruce often had watched an ant trying to move a bread-crumb many times its size, pushing with all its feet braced, rushing it with its head, backing off and considering and going at it again. Failing, running frantically around in front to drag and pull and tug.
"But say," said Jimmie, "don't you tell nobody. I don't want to get into trouble." "Mum's the word, old man." And the plumber took the dirty scrap of paper and read. "By God!" said he. "That's kind o' funny." "How do you mean?" "Why, that don't sound like them fellers were backing the Kaiser, does it?" And the plumber scratched his head. "Say, that sounds all right to me!" "Me too!" said Jimmie.
As soon as they saw me standing there with the gun in my hand they lifted their hands above their heads and started backing up. You know the rest of it." "You saved my life," said John. "If you're going to start talking like that I'll leave you right now, understand?" said Brennan. "What happened after I fainted?" he asked, realizing that Brennan meant what he said.
Seward believes that his rhetoric is irresistible, and will move the cabinets of France and of England. * Not the "recognition of belligerents;" let the rebels slip off from Manassas, etc. Mr. Seward would do better for himself and for the country to give up meddling with the operations of the war, and backing the bloodless campaigns of the strategian. But Mr.
"Go AT ONCE," he added, as if a closer look at the youth's face had impressed on him the need of backing up his friend. Young Rainer had turned ashy-pale. He tried to stiffen his mouth, into a smile. "Do I look as bad as all that?" Mr. Grisben was helping himself to terrapin. "You look like the day after an earthquake," he said concisely.
Would he carry us back to the early stages of barbarism, of clanship, of the feudal system as "a consummation devoutly to be wished?" This is what he "calls backing his friends" it is thus he administers charms and philtres to our love of Legitimacy, makes us conceive a horror of all reform, civil, political, or religious, and would fain put down the Spirit of the Age.
