Some of the yots had a loud shrill whistle, some a little, fine clear one; then one would belch out low and deep some like thunder. And anon our steamer thundered forth its own deep belchin' whistle, and turned round graceful and backed off, and puffed, puffed back agin down the bay. As we turned round, a bystander, standin' by, spoke of Bonnie Castle.
Edna saw him, a red-lit hero, and thought it was good to be a man. A bystander was hit by a hot halfpenny flying out of the air. Then Bert thought of the papers in his pockets, and staggered back, trying to extinguish his burning jacket checked, repulsed, dismayed. Edna was struck by the benevolent appearance of an elderly spectator in a silk hat and Sabbatical garments. "Oh!" she cried to him.
If so, it would be a chase worth following a diversion rendered the more exquisite to Lanyard by the spice of novelty, since for once he would figure as a dispassionate bystander. The name of Comte Remy de Morbihan, although unrecorded in the Almanach de Gotha, was one to conjure with in the Paris of his day and generation.
One of the watchers, this time a middle-aged man, handed him a five- cent piece. "Now, I have eight cents. Four more will give this man a bed. Come, gentlemen. We are going very slow this evening. You all have good beds. How about these?" "Here you are," remarked a bystander, putting a coin into his hand.
Shortly after Coleman dismissed the meeting. Its members dispersed to their homes. Absolute quiet descended on the city, which slept under the moon. To the thoughtful bystander all this preparation had its significance and its portent, which became the stronger when he contemplated the dispositions of the Law and Order party.
Kendall has been followed in Connecticut, /1/ in a case where a man fired a pistol, in lawful self-defence as he alleged, and hit a bystander. The court was strongly of opinion that the defendant was not answerable on the general principles of trespass, unless there was a failure to use such care as was practicable under the circumstances.
At this juncture Leonard felt his arm seized by a bystander he did not know whom and scarcely conscious of what was taking place, suffered himself to be dragged from the scene. About nine o'clock on the night of Saturday, the second of September, 1666 and rather more than nine months after the incidents last related, three men took their way from Smithfield to Islington.
Hugh asked of a bystander, who replied, "Go back to the old place to be kicked and cuffed by the minions of the new proprietor, Harney. You know Harney, of Frankfort?" Yes, Hugh did know Harney as one who was constantly adding to his already large possessions houses and lands and negroes without limit, caring little that they came to him laden with the widow's curse and the orphan's tears.
The truth and depth of his love for you will be proved by his response to this appeal." "How came you to suspect his love for me?" asked Paulina. "It has never yet shaped itself in words. A woman's own instinct generally tells her when she is truly loved; but how came you, a bystander, a mere looker- on, to discover Douglas Dale's secret?"
Whatever was happening there was no joke to her, however funny it might be to the other onlookers. "What's the matter?" Tom asked. "Bird up there," briefly answered the nearest bystander. "She'll never get it," said another. "Oh, now he's going away," cried the little girl in despair. The contrast between her anxiety and the amusement of the others was marked.
