A squat peasant in a short fur overcoat emerged from the crowd. He looked on the ground, with his large disheveled head drooping. "Nikita," the police commissioner said deliberately, twirling his mustache, "give him a box on the ear a good one!" The peasant stepped forward, stopped in front of Rybin and raised his hand.
Jean Pauquet and the vicomte were in the act of following, when D'Hérouville, disheveled and breathing heavily from his run down from the upper town, arrested them. "Vicomte," he cried, "you must take me with you. I can find no one to go with me." "Stay here then. Out of the way, Monsieur." The vicomte was not patient to-night, and he had not time for banter. "I say that you shall!"
"No," Ken said, between his teeth. "No, Phil. Oh, no, no!". He got up and shook himself. "Go to bed, now, and sleep. The idea of sitting up with a beastly cold candle!" He kissed her abruptly and unexpectedly and stalked out at the door, a weary, disheveled figure, in the first pale, fog-burdened gleam of dawn.
I did not choose to wait until she woke up, I sprang from the bed, where Elaine was still sleeping, with her disheveled hair lying on the lace-edged pillows. Her complexion was almost transparent, her lips were half open, as if she were dreaming, and she seemed so overcome with sleep, that I felt much emotion when I looked at her.
He grunted upon discovering the disheveled Chunky, and shrugged his shoulders as he observed the display of tin cans strewn about. "Much heap big fool!" ejaculated the Indian. "Are you addressing your remarks to me or to the mule?" demanded Stacy calmly. "Huh!" That was the only reply Stacy got, and Anvik began gathering up the stuff that had been lost from the battered pack.
Such wretchedness Nekhludoff saw in a number of shoemakers that he saw working near the window of a basement; in the lean, pale, disheveled washerwomen ironing with bare hands before open windows from which soap-laden steam poured out; in two painters, aproned and bare-footed, who were covered with paint from temple to heel.
When he thundered to a halt at the porch steps Madeline, breathless and disheveled, alighted with the mass of her hair tumbling around her. Alfred met her, and his exclamation, and Florence's rapt eyes shining on her face, and Stillwell's speechlessness made her self-conscious. Laughing, she tried to put up the mass of hair. "I must look a fright," she panted.
There were frequent confirmatory emphatic nods of great disheveled heads, the scarlet flushing of angry faces, already florid, and now and again a violent descriptive gesture of a long brawny arm with a clenched fist at its extremity.
She was even more beautiful of face and figure than one would have imagined at a first glance. Of a delicate blonde complexion, with pink-tinged cheeks, she made a very pretty picture, her face framed as it was in a wild disheveled cloud of auburn hair.
Locke, disheveled and weak, had released himself from the strait-jacket, and with the speed of a panther had ascended the stairs. He saw the monster crashing through the last remaining barrier, and without hesitation he fired at the thing as he closed in. His one thought was to delay it or make it swerve in its course momentarily, with the hope that by some chance Eva might have time to escape.
