They swayed and rustled above us, flinging their interlacing shadows upon us, and their swaying and their rustling soothed and comforted like the voice and touch of a mother. And the mountains, too, in all the glory of their varying robes of blues and purples, stood calmly, solemnly about us, uplifting our souls into regions of rest.
It seems to me, too, that her features would not dare to wear such an expression of open disappointment if they were not answered and meeting something in his. I therefore take my course. I jump up hastily, flinging off the plaid, and advance toward the interlocutors. She is just saying, "Oh, I understand! very nice!" in a little formal voice when I break in.
"Yes" said Val, deftly flinging diamond-wise a glittering Chinese cloth: "is that straight? that is, for me. I shan't take the agency." "Val!"

"We don't grow flowers for your amusement." And contemptuously flinging the rose over the wall, he strode away. The gang, left to itself for a moment, bestowed their attention upon Dawes. Large tears were silently rolling down his face, and he stood staring at the wall as one in a dream. The gang curled their lips. One fellow, more charitable than the rest, tapped his forehead and winked.
