She must undoubtedly have given Siptah some command, for the latter at first shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly then, after a somewhat lengthy discussion, half grave, half jesting, he sprang from the chariot and beckoned to the chief gaoler. "Have these men," he called from the road so loudly that Kasana could not fail to hear, "seen the face of the good god, the lord of both worlds?"

She beckoned to Anna and Henry Stevens to stand by her, and then, with tear-blinded eyes, the old minister married them for eternity! Outside the door Priscilla's class of Slabtown boys stood with some roses and hollyhocks they had thought to bring for her wedding or her funeral, they hardly knew which. They were all abashed at the idea of entering the house. "You go in, Bill," said one.

She beckoned to him, and he pulled the horse up short. "I've told him he needn't come home to dinner," she said, standing close to the wheel. Caleb looked down at her with a scared expression. "Well, I s'pose you know what's best, Deborah," he said. "If he can't do what's right he's got to suffer for it," returned Deborah. She went into the house, and Caleb drove clanking into the barn.

A thin little kitten of silky fur and small bones might have the same feel as Sheila. She stood up now and looked tragically and helplessly at Hudson and tried to speak. He backed away from the bed, beckoned to her, and met her in the other half of the room so that the leather screen stood between them and the dead man. They spoke in hushed voices.

Harry and his father rose at the first silver shoot of dawn, and went quickly through the deserted street to a quiet cove in the Kentucky, where Samuel Jarvis had anchored his raft.

He tried to keep his eyes turned away, but it haunted him. When he stared straight ahead into the dark it beckoned to him he could see the fingers twitching! And not till he crept near could he be satisfied that, after all, it had not moved. 'Sherwood! He heard a quivering voice to his right.

Glancing back at the woman, now cowering almost to the floor, he pounded at the door and asked the man inside to open. No answer came back. With a sharp turn he glanced again at the wife. "You say that your husband is in this room?" She nodded, gasping faintly, "And the child!" He turned back, listened, then beckoned to Mr. Saunders. "We shall have to break our way in," said he.

He turned and beckoned a centurion of the guard. With his file of men he came on the double quick. "Seize that man!" the Emperor commanded. Two of the Pretorians gripped Calvaster by the elbows. "March him out there to the edge," came the next order, the Emperor gesturing towards the quay-front on his right. At the brink of the platform the Pretorians paused.

"Don't go, Adelaide: I have worlds yet to say to you," said Edgar. "Thanks! another time. I do not like to see things of which I disapprove," was her answer, touching her ponies gently and moving away slowly. When she had drawn off out of earshot she beckoned Edgar with her whip. It was impolitic, but she was too deeply moved to make accurate calculations.

Then she beckoned the Crown Prince to her side. He instantly obeyed her gesture. Taking him by the hand, she advanced a little, and with him confronted both the King and Queen.
