"I have nothing much to do at home, and it seems a shame for everything here to be neglected. When is Doris coming back?" "I don't know exactly. Perhaps two or three weeks, perhaps as many months." "But her eyes will be all right again?" "So they say." Hollister went out and sat on the front doorstep. His mind sought to span the distance to Vancouver. He wondered what Doris was doing.
To the devil with both of them. I always hated the creatures! Die, Dea! Oh, I am quite comfortable!" He returned to the Tadcaster Inn, It struck half-past six. It was a little before twilight. Master Nicless stood on his doorstep. He had not succeeded, since the morning, in extinguishing the terror which still showed on his scared face. He perceived Ursus from afar. "Well!" he cried.
At the door, before entering, he turned, and with tears running down his cheeks he signed a last farewell to his people. So for a long silent moment he stood upon the doorstep, then he entered the house, and as the door closed upon him a great sob broke from the crowd. Thus the people took a last farewell of their great and beloved leader.
When the domestic turned at this and went in, Theron felt like throwing his hat in the air, there where he stood. The woman's churlish sectarian prejudices had played ideally into his hands. In no other imaginable way could he have asked for Celia so naturally. He wondered a little that a servant at such a grand house as this should leave callers standing on the doorstep.
This could be taken to mean that each individual procured his own oysters from the lavish supply virtually at his doorstep, and stopped as soon as he had a "mess" to enjoy over the week-end: The water is no less prolific, because an indescribably large number of big and little fish are found in the many creeks, as well as in the large rivers.
When she had wound the kitchen clock and put Dr. Jekyll out, none too gently, she stood for a little while on the doorstep, looking down the Glen, which lay tranced in faint, silvery light from a sinking young moon. But Susan did not see the familiar hills and harbour. She was looking at the aviation camp in Kingsport where Shirley was that night. "He called me 'Mother Susan," she was thinking.
You cannot marry that girl, for your haughty Jane Cable is a child of shame, picked up on a doorstep, cast off by the woman who conceived her!" The crash had come.
'That's awfully good of you. 'Besides, I'm not going to be left alone to-night until I can jump into my little white bed and pull the clothes over my head. I'm scared, I'm just boneless with fright. And I wouldn't go anywhere near Lady Wetherby's doorstep with it. 'Him. 'It's no use, I can't think of it as "him." It's no good asking me to. Bill frowned thoughtfully.
You must not be frightened though. Just go straight on, and you will come all right. You'll find me on the doorstep." As she spoke, her face too faded quite away, only Diamond thought he could still see her eyes shining through the blue. When he went closer, however, he found that what he thought her eyes were only two hollows in the ice.
When he reached Johnny Chuck's house he found no one at home. At first he thought he would go look for Johnny, for he knew that Johnny must be somewhere near, as he never goes far from his own doorstep. Then he changed his mind and decided to wait for Johnny to return.
