I filled his pipe, put it in his mouth, and gave him a match; then I left him. I made my way up and down the deck for a time, clutching hold of everything handy, and rather enjoyed it, though the waves drenched me to the skin. Presently I saw Masters come out of the companion-way and make his way very skilfully towards me. Of course it was fearfully dangerous for him.
"I am not cross," I answered. "Only absolutely disgusted." By that time, thank goodness, we had got into the stream of carriages close to the opera-house. Mr. Carruthers, however, seemed hardly to notice this. "Darling," he said, "I will try not to annoy you; but you are so fearfully provoking. I tell you truly, no man would find it easy to keep cool with you."
Blaine was eminent in business and great enterprises, but I doubt if he had ever spoken before except to a board of directors. Of course, in that vast hall such a man was fearfully handicapped and could not be very well heard.
But I never took none of his money, Mis' Squeerington; it was mine!" His lips began to tremble. "The cop won't get you, Chick," said Miss Lady, now on her knees beside him, coaxing out each statement, and trying to keep down her excitement. "Tell me, quick! How do you know about the shooting?" "'Cause," said Chick fearfully, "I I seen it!"
Then there was a grand smash up, and everything had to be sold house, horses, furniture, and all. He went abroad and died of a broken heart never smiled again, and all that sort of thing, you know."

For some days he was thus thrown much with Camilla; the questions her father forced her to put to him, uttered tremulously and fearfully, seemed to him proof of her interest in his fate.
I am fearfully anxious, Alexis; I already seem to feel the sword at my throat. Ah, hear you not steps in the corridor? They come this way. They are my pursuers. They come to conduct me to the scaffold! Save me, Alexis, save me!" And with a shrill cry of anguish the princess clung to the neck of her favorite. The door was now hastily opened, and upon the threshold appeared Lestocq and Woronzow.
We crossed the stream at the bottom by a single-arched bridge of curious mechanism and peculiar to the Himalayas, the chief advantage being the large span, which admits of an immense body of water rushing through; a necessary precaution in the case of a mountain torrent. We then toiled up the hillside by a fearfully narrow path.
But though she should remain silent, do not dare to think that the young woman is guilty far less to permit her execution. Remember the death of Wilson was fearfully avenged; and those yet live who can compel you to drink the dregs of your poisoned chalice. I say, remember Porteous, and say that you had good counsel from "One of his Slayers."
It has meant a fearfully strenuous day for the story teller and for the whole Branch; the chances are that the last children to hear the tale gained little from it because the story teller was too tired to tell it well; many of the children have spent most of the afternoon in the scuffle of trying to get in and having to wait when they might have been out of doors playing; and practically all the children were the same ones who always come.
