And though he did not know their name, and they had never exchanged a word, they were to him part of those friendly shadows which throng about our daily life, not always noticed when they are there, but which leave a gap when they disappear. At once his thought leaped from the woman before him to the young companion whom he missed from her side.
But he was still there sitting, so to speak, on the half of himself.... I was astonished that he did not disappear abruptly during his exposition.... The fighting man in the Dolomites has been perhaps the most wonderful of all these separate campaigns.
Now, it is clear that the customs of a transitional stage are very likely to disappear; they are also very likely to be mistaken. Bearing this in mind, the number of survivals that do occur are, I hold, extraordinary, and, indeed, impossible to account for if the maternal family was not a universal stage in the development of society.
Gradually they began to disappear into the bush, and we conveyed the dear Teacher to the Mission House. In three or four weeks, he so far recovered by careful nursing that he was able to walk about again.
Taking a handful to break my fast upon, I left the lodge just in time to see the last band of hunters disappear over the ridge of the neighboring hill. I mounted Pauline and galloped in pursuit, riding rather by the balance than by any muscular strength that remained to me.
The paper walls were mounted on sliding panels, which, fitting into each other, can be made to disappear and all one side of the apartment opened like a veranda, giving a view of the green country and the gray sky beyond. By way of a chair, they gave me a square cushion of black velvet; and behold me seated low, in the middle of this large, empty room, which by its very vastness is almost chilly.
They were employed in the same way that any other merchant employs a catalogue. They reached the hands of many an opulent and abandoned 'profiteer' of Damascus, Stambul where you will. Molly's picture would be one of many. Remember that hundreds of pretty girls disappear from their homes taking the whole of the world every year. Clearly, English beauty is popular at the moment!
Damocles de Warrenne's brain became active with plots and plans for escape escape from himself and the temptation which he must avoid by flight, since he felt he could not conquer it in fight. He must disappear. He must die die in such a way that Lucille would never suppose he had committed suicide. It was the only way to save himself from so awful a crime and to save her from himself.
There was a scream from Nan, another from Flossie, and a sort of grunt of surprise from Bert, as they saw Freddie disappear over the railing of the tank, and come into view a second later on the back of the turtle, which was as much surprised as, probably, the little boy himself. "Here, Freddie! What are you doing down there?" asked Mr. Bobbsey, before he thought what he was saying.
It seemed such an altogether unaccountable thing, standing there, that Edwin pushed the window open and rubbed his eyes to get a better sight of it. He expected it would disappear in some way almost immediately, but it did not: there it stood, perfectly still and perfectly distinct, at the corner of the field, where there was absolutely nothing to cause it.
