"I was next to the last person who saw him before he was drowned. It was late on a June afternoon, and he was dressed as you describe. He was bareheaded because he had found a quail's nest before the bird began to brood, and he gathered the eggs in his hat and left it in a fence corner to get on his way home; they found it afterward." "Was he coming from Carneys'?"
While Samuel let out the masons, the clerk saw, through a clump of trees, his master running towards him bareheaded, and with an air of singular haste and importance. The clerk was therefore obliged to leave the steps, to answer the notary's summons, towards whom he went with a very bad grace. "Sir, sir," said M. Dumesnil, "I have been calling you this hour with all my might."
A wind was abroad and I walked bareheaded to cool the fevered throbbing of my temples, but this wind found voices to mock me and at my heels ran demons, gibbering obscenities. Reaching my door at last, I thundered on the knocker until it opened, and brushing past the pallid Clegg, bade him order my horse. "Horse, sir?" he repeated, a note of interest in his usually toneless voice.
Then an epic incident was seen. Denis slowly mounted the paving-stones of the barricade, ascended to the top, and stood there erect, unarmed and bareheaded. Thence he raised his voice, and, facing the soldiers, he shouted to them, "Citizens!" At this word a sort of electric shudder ensued which was felt from one barricade to the other.
Helena Richie, standing by a bed of crown-imperials, bareheaded, a trowel in her gloved hand, her smooth cheek flushed with the unwonted exertion of planting seeds, caught the exquisite breath of the box, and sighed; then, listlessly, she turned to walk back towards the house. Before she reached it the gate clicked and Dr. King came up the path.
It was nearly midnight when the sound of wheels roused him from his reverie. He opened the door, and in the square of light the horses stopped. "Hello, Jim is that you?" called the neighbor; "I've got something for you." Jim came out bareheaded. He tried to thank the neighbor for his kindness, but his throat was dry with suppressed excitement Kate had written!
Here we were met and received by the chief, Kashoto, who stood close to the water's edge, barefooted and bareheaded, but wearing so fine a robe and standing so grave, erect, and serene, his dignity was complete. No white man could have maintained sound dignity under circumstances so disadvantageous.
He took his banjo in one hand, lifted his cap with the other and, standing so, bareheaded in the moonlight, sang with all the simulated passion and pathos of which he was capable one of the few love songs that belong to the world, "Kathleen Mavoureen"; but he took pains to substitute "Aileen" for "Kathleen."
I love to ride bareheaded through the woods, and Betsy won't stop until you do, no matter how hard I pull." "Betsy, you're no lady!" said the Harvester. "Why don't you stop when you're told?" "I shan't waste any more strength on her," said the Girl. "Hereafter I shall say, 'Gee, David, 'Haw, David, 'Whoa, David, and then she will do exactly as you."
Between these came the victims of the Basha's order Naomi first, barefooted, bareheaded, stripped of all but the last garment that hid her nakedness, her head held down, her face hidden, and her eyes closed and Israel afterwards, mounted on a lean and ragged ass. A further guard of black police walked at the back of all.
