"Nelson! it's only me," Janice quavered, the pulse beating painfully in her throat. "Let me in do!" He came across the room slowly. She heard him fumble at the key and knob. Then the door opened. "Oh, Nelson!" she repeated, when she saw him in the darkened parlor. The pallor of his face went to her heart. His hair was disheveled; his eyes red from weeping.
But if I stopped the poor man, and sympathetically questioned him about his former and his present life, I felt that it was no longer possible to give three or twenty kopeks, and I began to fumble in my purse for money, in doubt as to how much I ought to give, and I always gave more; and I always noticed that the poor man left me dissatisfied.
Lily guessed the possibilities of embarrassment which the topic held for him, and raising her eyes to his, she said suddenly: "I left her two months ago." Rosedale continued to fumble awkwardly with the tea-pot, and she felt sure that he had heard what had been said of her. But what was there that Rosedale did not hear? "Wasn't it a soft berth?" he enquired, with an attempt at lightness.
He warned them to watch Norris on every play and at the same time to beware of the Jefferson half-backs, who had proved their ability to carry the ball. He once more repeated one of the first things that belonged to his football creed: to watch the ball all of the time and to be ready, as Neil had been in the case of the Jefferson fumble, to take advantage of any "break."
The barn door stuck, with the snow which had collected in the runway, and she had to fumble for some time before it would come open. A perfect babel of voices greeted her. Jake had left the south door of the barn ajar when he left that morning, and the eddying snow had banked itself along the entire centre of the building.
So spurred on by this incentive, and with their opponents resting under the belief that they had the game already "sewed up," by reason of that last touchdown, Jack's warriors exerted additional pressure, and bent the line back until they were fighting on Marshall territory, grimly pressing on a few yards at a time without a single fumble.
He was revising the catalogue of his miniatures and in a minute he began to fumble and search about his over-loaded desk. "Everybody is trying to thwart me this morning," he cried angrily. "What's the matter, father?" asked Dick, laying down the Times. "Can I help?" But I can't find it. I can't find it anywhere"; and he tossed his papers about as though he were punishing them.
As the train rolled through the homely scenes of the outskirts, that black fringe which makes an unlovely border to the city, Choulette took from his pocket an old book which he began to fumble. The writer, hidden under the vagabond, revealed himself. Choulette, without wishing to appear to be careful of his papers, was very orderly about them.
The deeper charm even than in such things, however, is the social or historic note or tone or atmosphere of the church I fumble, you see, for my right expression; the sense it gives you, in common with most of the Roman churches, and more than any of them, of having been prayed in for several centuries by an endlessly curious and complex society.
There was a bit, of wire loose at the lower end of the screen, and, in the one second Marguerite's back was turned just one second, but just long enough Missy saw a velvety nose fumble with the loose wire, saw a sleek neck wedge itself through the crevice, and a long red tongue lap approvingly over the sugar-coated crust. Missy gasped audibly.
