Graham's conductor ran on for some time, and suddenly darted sideways and vanished into a black shadow in the corner of the foot of a huge support. In another moment Graham was beside him. They cowered panting and stared out. The scene upon which Graham looked was very wild and strange. The snow had now almost ceased; only a belated flake passed now and again across the picture.
He held up one hand, she cowered on the floor she could hear nothing, and she stared at him in fascinated terror "They are telling all Rome of the death of my child! First Rome and then the world! The world shall hear of it! For there is only one Angela Sovrani, and earth and heaven cry out for justice in her name! Tell this to the devil who has bought you for his pleasure!
He, following all the time, came into a quiet dark parlour, with a cloth and tea-things on the table ready for breakfast; the change from the bright sunny air out of doors to the deep shadow of this room made him think for the first moment that she had passed on, and that no one was there, and he stood for an instant baffled, and hearing no sound but the beating of his own heart; but an irrepressible sobbing gasp made him look round, and there he saw her cowered behind the door, her face covered tight up, and sharp shudders going through her whole frame.
Then, to the amaze and delight of the vast audience in "The Fan," out from convolutions of the central sign of the "Mark," Apleon stepped on to the platform. The false Christ was as white of face as his robe. He visibly cowered and shrank before the coming of the giant figure of the World's Dictator, as the latter strode in three long strides across the platform.
"It frightened me to-night. I ran away but I didn't escape it." "It's Garman!" blurted Payne hoarsely. "Oh, don't!" She cowered against the pony. "Please please don't! Oh, if you don't wish to be cruel " "Miss Annette!" The utterance of her name seemed to bring back a sense of her true self.
Clarence had a fine assortment of Spanish epithets, expletives, and objurgations, gathered in his rodeo experience at El Refugio, and laid them about him with such fervor and discrimination that two or three mules, presumably with guilty consciences, mistaking their direction, actually cowered against the stockade of the corral in fear.
Bruce, to get them out of Jack's reach, held them high in the air, over his head. The two were struggling. Moran and Kelly were wrestling with Ed and Walter, while the other girls cowered behind Dray, who had caught up a chair as a weapon. Cora saw her chance.
We can both understand one another in that case. We know how it all happened!" "Perfectly," I answered. "I know all now. As I sat there and cowered, I heard a knock at the door, and before papa could answer, you entered hastily. Papa looked round, I could hear, and saw who it was in a second. "'Oh, it's you! he said, coldly. 'It's you, Dr. Ivor.
She was pressing her brow against the left post of the door, but at her feet, on the right side, cowered another figure, which could scarcely be recognised as a human being. This, too, was a woman. Deeply absorbed in her own thoughts, she was also extending her arms toward the statue of Nemesis. Hermon knew them both.
His pulses beat rapidly; he groped again with his hands, slowly, fearfully, hesitating and then groping again. It was as though something, someone were trying to elude him in the darkness. His breath came fast; he listened again. Something cowered and breathed "Bózhe moi!"
