M. de Bragelonne had not had time to fasten his horse to the iron bars of the perron, when M. de Saint-Remy came running, out of breath, supporting his capacious body with one hand, whilst with the other he cut the air as a fisherman cleaves the waves with his oar. "Ah, Monsieur le Vicomte! You at Blois!" cried he. "Well, that is a wonder. Good-day to you good-day, Monsieur Raoul."
"I'm going t' ride down with you," he said. The major looked nonplussed. Kate got in and the major followed. "Come," she said to Roeder. He sat opposite and looked at her as if he would fasten her image on his mind. "You remember," he said after a time, "that I told you I used t' dream of sittin' on the veranda of th' hotel and havin' nothin' t' do?" "Yes." "Well, I don't think I care fur it.
The endless tentacles follow him, reach out after him, surround him, fasten upon him, and draw him back whence he came. And not that only, but they mark him and isolate him, disable him from free action, make honesty impossible for him. No citizen of whatever integrity and standing, if so pursued, maligned and undermined, would have any choice left him but either to perish or to break the laws.
When you get through, come to me." The girl so addressed rose promptly and gave Carrie her place. " It isn't hard to do," she said, bending over. " You just take this so, fasten it with this clamp, and start the machine."
Gradually his faculties returned. "Edith, Edith!" he exclaimed, in a low, anxious voice, "I must get back to the igloo. I shall freeze here. Fasten the lines of my snowshoes, dear, and I will rise." Edith did as she was desired, and immediately Frank made a violent effort and stood upright; but he swayed to and fro like a drunken man.
The most he did was lounge in the sternsheets of his Whitehall while his retainers rowed him out to a ship to interview the captain, and collect his blood money. It was unusual for the Swede to go down to the dock with a couple of men; and now, he was going to fasten his lordly hands upon a pair of oars and row us out to our vessel! "Say, what is the idea?" I demanded of Newman.
Mark stood rigid and silent, his hands tightly clenched, his breath coming slowly and heavily. At last he roused himself. "Leave things just as they are," he said to the men in a tone of unnatural calmness, "and fasten the door up again, and turn a table or something of that sort against it on the outside so that no one can come in.
The old method of making a tooth-brush, for example, was to lace the bristles through the ivory, and then to glue, or otherwise fasten, an outside slab to the brush for the purpose of concealing the holes and wire-thread. This mode of manufacture has been improved on by a method of working the hair into the solid ivory; and brushes of this description are now the best in the market.
What he did was to lift up the sides and then to fasten them to the head and foot pieces with very thin cord which was sufficient to hold them in place only as long as there was no weight put upon them. The instant that any one got upon the bed the side pieces would drop to the floor and the occupant would go down with them, much to his astonishment and the delight of the other boys.
"Tell Miss Bowyer that there is a gentleman outside the door who wishes to see her. Whenever the door is shut, do you fasten it inside." "Miss Bowyer, there's a gentleman inquiring for you outside," said Mrs. Martin when she returned. Miss Bowyer opened the door suspiciously, standing in the doorway as she spoke. "Did you wish to see me?" "Are you Miss Bowyer?"
