Always it was one picture that little Otto sought; the Christ Child in the manger, with the Virgin, St. Joseph, the Shepherds, and the Kine. And as he would hang breathlessly gazing and gazing upon it, the old Abbot would sit watching him with a faint, half-sad smile flickering around his thin lips and his pale, narrow face. It was a pleasant, peaceful life, but by-and-by the end came.
"Marie," he said, "I have had rather serious news from Mr. Durnovo." "Yes?" rather breathlessly. "It will not be safe for you to stay at Msala you must take the children down to Loango." "Does he say that?" she asked, in her rapid, indistinct English. "Who?" "Vic Mr. Durnovo." "No," replied Oscard, wondering at the question. "He does not say anything about me or the children?" persisted Marie.
If her strength had allowed she would have run, but now it threatened to desert her altogether and she tottered weakly. A pattering of footsteps came from behind. Someone was running back to overtake her. Recognizing escape to be impossible, Rita turned just as the runner came up with her. "Rita!" he cried, rather breathlessly. "Miss Dresden!" She stood very still, looking at the speaker.
He drew himself up as if he was on parade, faced round, and replied with an emphatic 'Sir! as he behold a thin, foreign-looking man, in a somewhat flashy style of dress, who, bowing low, repeated breathlessly, 'I beg your pardon Sir Guy Morville, I believe! 'Captain Morville, sir! 'I beg your pardon I mistook.
Recoiling from his touch, she held herself aloof with such aversion, a sneer crossed his face, and he observed glumly: "Oh, I'm not a viper! If you're put out, so am I." "Who are you?" she demanded, breathlessly. "That's an incriminating question, Ma'am," he replied. "In this case, though, the witness has no objection to answering. I'm your humble servant."
I can't hurt the corespondent in a divorce case? Hey?" said Lord Loudwater rather breathlessly. "As if a man who has abused and bullied his wife as you have could get a divorce!" said Grey, and he laughed a gentle, contemptuous laugh, galling beyond words. It galled Lord Loudwater surely enough; he snapped his fingers four times and gibbered.
Then I saw the spruce would have been better, for they were standing in front of the parlour door and Peter had one hand on the knob. His other arm was around my sister Sally. Breathlessly I leaned as far as I could, and watched. "Father said he'd give me the money to buy a half interest, and furnish a house nicely, if you said 'yes, Sally," said Peter.
"Constanza my life my love!" "O Gaston, Gaston! can it in very truth be thou?" Raymond looked on in mute amaze, turning his eyes from the lovers towards the miller, who was watching the encounter with a beaming face. "What means it all?" asked the youth breathlessly.
The band vanished and returned after standing breathlessly for a second or two round Bordenave's lordly, outstretched form. And then there was a burst of laughter, and when one of them told the rest to be quiet Bordenave's distant snorings became audible. It was close on four o'clock.
Two scouts were kept some distance in the advance, two on the side nearest the river, and five on their right. In this way they had moved along about six miles, when the two spies in front came rushing breathlessly back, with the tidings that they had discovered a camp of Creek Indians. They halted for a few moments while all examined their guns and their priming and prepared for battle.
