I got kind of balled up for one minute and thought it was you. She tell you?" "Yes, she told me," said Rose. "I hear your ma's still sick. That certainly is tough. And you've never married, eh?" "Never married," echoed Rose.
The vicomte presently dropped his balled fists, shrugged, and sat down. It was the best and wisest thing he could do. D'Hérouville, roused from his apathy, laughed. "Eh, you laugh?" said the vicomte, wiping his bloody lips. His eyes snapped wickedly. "It is a habit I have," retorted D'Hérouville, glancing boldly at the Chevalier. "Some day your habit will choke you to death."
If she drew his attention to the baby's tiny hands or feet, he would glance carelessly at them, with a "They're all right," or "I'll like them better when they're bigger." Once, as they were going to bed, she showed Stefan the baby lying on his chest, one fist balled on either side of the pillow, the downy back of his head shining in the candle-light. She stooped and kissed it.
Drew’s hands balled into fists where they rested on his knees. "Sure you can’t—you never had any!" Spath returned. "I had them. I don’t have them now." What was the use of trying to tell Rennie about his suspicions of Shannon? And if Johnny had destroyed the papers as well he might have, Drew could never make them believe him, anyway.

At length, and after a period of such suspense, and such emotion, as Sidney never in after- life could recall without a shudder, the coach stopped the benumbed driver heavily descended the sound of the knocker knelled loud through the muffled air and the light from Mr.

There were oh, the gallant creatures! I hear their neigh upon the wind; there were goodliest sight of all certain enormous quadrupeds only seen to perfection in our native isle, led about by dapper grooms, their manes ribanded and their tails curiously clubbed and balled. Ha! ha! how distinctly do they say, ha! ha!
"Yes, it's too bad: one hates to have one's faith in human nature all balled out this way; but you never know what kind of a fact you're going ping up against where a woman is concerned." Something in the Senator's look stopped Bat mid-way. "Brydges, I thought I told you never to meddle with the damphool who makes excuses for what he's going to do.
He watched Captain Jellico's hand slide across his knee, his fingers drop in touching distance of knife hilt. And the hand of the Chief Ranger, hanging lax at his side, suddenly balled into a fist. "So!" Tau expelled the word as a hiss. He moved with sure-footed speed. Now he passed between the stools to confront the dancing cat-dog.
