It was only for a moment, however, that Joe forgot himself, for speedily reviving he thrust his drowsy father aside to Mr Willet's mighty and inexpressible indignation and darting out, stood ready to help them to alight. It was necessary for Dolly to get out first. Joe had her in his arms; yes, though for a space of time no longer than you could count one in, Joe had her in his arms.
Some of these little creatures make quite a humming noise with their wings, and after darting here and there like a large fly they will seem to stop midway in the air, apparently motionless, but with their wings all the while beating so fast that they are almost invisible.
Darting through the open door, in defiance of the smoke and danger, he made his way to the children's room, where, almost suffocated by the sulphurous cloud that surrounded him, he at last found the bed; but it contained one child only.
Then quickly he gave the word again and once more Caesar was away, darting back along the sidewalk toward the Champs Elysées, moving nearer and nearer to the houses and presently stopping at a gateway, against which he pressed and whined. It was a gateway in the wall surrounding the Ansonia Hotel.
The thrushes, ranking in some ways at the head of all our birds, drift through the woods, brown and silent as the leaves around them. Splendid opportunities they give us to test our powers of woodcraft. A thrush passes like a streak of brown light and perches on a tree some distance away. We creep from tree to tree, darting nearer when his head is turned.
I don't care if we wreck the car if only we can cover a couple of miles of ground first. Run! Hustle!" Had he suffered from a little keener fear, Bayliss would have collapsed utterly. As it was, fear lent him extra speed. He fairly tore over the ground, darting through bushes, plunging on in headlong haste. Bert kept with him. "We'll soon be all right," cried Dodge encouragingly.
She described the seance truthfully, Fibsy's bright eyes not lack-luster now darting glances at her and at Stone as the tale proceeded. "He was the real thing wasn't he, McGuire?" Miss Ames appealed to him, at last. "You bet!

I could look up at the shining sky, and about in chorus with the fish-hawks, surrounded by the darting fishes, that would tell no one what they had seen or heard. That would be supreme happiness for me; wilt not thou help me to secure it?" The child's wish was so true, so earnest, and Ludwig himself had experienced the proud delights of which she had spoken.
