There are inconsistencies in his pages more glaring than anything we can imagine outside real life. The average artist, dealing with these manifestations, is a spectacle for pity, as the average man would be on Blondin's tight rope. The faintest deviation, the most momentary uncertainty of footing, a doubt, even, and it is all over. But Meredith never falters.
Her voice falters as she asks the question. Nobili, every drop of whose blood runs fevered in his veins, turns toward her. "I am not hurt a scratch or two nothing." "Thank God!" Enrica utters, in a low voice. Nobili endeavors to approach her. She draws back. "As I am here" he speaks with the utmost embarrassment "here, as you see, by accident" his voice rests on the words "I cannot go "
Situate on the slender and feeble channel of the ancient Rhine as it falters languidly to the sea, surrounded by trim gardens and orchards, and embowered in groves of beeches and limetrees, with busy canals fringed with poplars, lined with solid quays, and crossed by innumerable bridges; with the stately brick tower of St.
He is represented setting out on his journey, with men on his shoulders to guide him, a bow in his hand, and Diana in the clouds greeting him. He stalks along, a giant upon earth, and reels and falters in his gait, as if just awakened out of sleep, or uncertain of his way; you see his blindness, though his back is turned.
"'It is round, says William Pemberton. 'It is a bottle. "Nothin' could be heard but the beatin' of our hearts. "'Is it is it heavy, William? I falters. Then you couldn't hear nothin', for our hearts had cease to beat. He let loose of a roar same as a lion that's skipped atop of his prey. 'Ezekiel G. W. Scraggs! he shrieks, 'she's full! "'I wish no better luck myself, says I. 'Trot her out!
Her voice falters and drops as the last notes of the music have done. It would be a mortal sin to awaken her. She shall dream on until the right time comes. "Then you liked it?" His voice has a steady, reassuring tone. "There is another; shall we try it again, presently?" This time it is the "Beautiful Blue Danube." "Oh, no, no!" she says, vehemently.
If it has taken this length of time for the Niagara Falls to make their way back a distance of seven miles by the erosive power of the water acting on a soft shale rock supporting a stratum of limestone, the immensity of time involved by assuming that the Grand River cañon was formed in the same way is so great that the mind falters in contemplating it, especially when it is recognized that the escarpment of the Labrador Falls is of hard gneissic rock.
Yet what new illegal burdens our estates and persons have groaned under, my heart yearns to think of, my tongue falters to utter. "The grievances by which we are oppressed, I draw under two heads; acts of power against law, and the judgments of lawyers against our liberty."
The two move apart for a moment in order better to gaze at each other. "What was I dreaming," he falters, "of Tristan's honour?" "What was I dreaming," she wonderingly asks, "of indignities to Isolde?" "You, lost to me?" Could man have imagined so wild a thing! "You repulsing me?" Probable, it seems, as he stretches to her those yearning arms!
He makes dreadful mouths as he rules the ciphering-book; and now he throws his eye sideways down our lane, and we all droop over our books and tremble. A moment afterwards we are again eyeing him.
