I don't know who else will, Frank, if he don't. He's one of the big political forces in this town." "Listen to me," began Cowperwood, eyeing him fixedly. Then he paused. "What did he say you should do about your holdings?" "Sell them through Tighe & Company and put the money back in the treasury, if you won't take them." "Sell them to whom?" asked Cowperwood, thinking of Stener's last words.

You are indeed at my mercy, and I will be merciful if you will satisfy my demand." He was trembling with emotion while he spoke and the desire to kill the man before him was making a frightful struggle with his priestly conscience; but conscience had the upper hand. Hamilton stood gazing fixedly, pale as a ghost, his thoughts becoming more and more clear and logical. He was in a bad situation.

Perhaps his annoyance at all these curious faces hanging over his own helped him. "Go away," said he finally to the last comers. "There is no need of the doctor, no need of anything, go away!" The four faces withdrew somewhat, but continued looking at him fixedly with an expression, perhaps, of increased alarm. "Go away, I tell you!" continued Don Rocco.

"Come here, mother's baby; I've something bad to tell you, and you must help me, dear." Phronsie came at once, with wide-open, astonished brown eyes, and climbed up into the good lap obediently. "Phronsie," said Mrs. Fisher, swallowing the lump in her throat, and looking at the child fixedly, "you know Helen has been very sick." "Yes, mamma," said Phronsie, still in a wonder.

When her toilet for the night was finished she sank gently onto the sheet spread over the hay on the side nearest the door. "Natasha, you'd better lie in the middle," said Sonya.

Sometimes, twisting his head around, he could glimpse her profile turned toward the moving panorama of the crowded streets through which he was skilfully manoeuvering his way. But if she were interested in what she gazed at so fixedly, she made no comment. One never knew what she thought about anything.

Kavanagh had this in his mind fixedly, that if he thrust the point of his bayonet through the shield, and so got it entangled, he was done, for his active opponent would step within distance, and cut him down in a moment. As if to force him to risk this, the Arab suddenly crouched down, and covering himself well with his shield, made a spring at him, cutting at his left arm.
