This would be the strongest, the heaviest rope that Tarzan of the Apes ever had fashioned. Visions of Numa, the lion, straining futilely in its embrace thrilled the ape-man. He was quite content, for his hands and his brain were busy. Content, too, were his fellows of the tribe of Kerchak, searching for food in the clearing and the surrounding trees about him.
Von Arnheim had only one arm free, the other was pinioned to his side. With this free arm he plucked futilely at Roy's arm across his throat, unable to reach the guarded face. It was a grip Von Arnheim was powerless to break, and it was only a question of time until he would be throttled into submission. With a leap of the heart, Frank realized this.
He remembered that she had worn more of it than seemed necessary to him. It had made her appear clumsy and over-fed. He was immensely relieved to find that she now wore a rose-coloured pignoir, and that it was wrapped very closely about her slim, long figure, as if she were afflicted by the cold and was futilely trying to protect her shivering flesh.
I want you to forgive me." "Why, certainly," she said, so indifferently that his heart sank. It did not occur to him that he had never said that he cared for her at all. "Is there anything I could get you?" he asked futilely as he felt. "I'd like to see Mr. Pennington. He was kind to me." "Marjorie, Marjorie, won't you ever forgive me for the way I acted?"
Look well, unbeliever, for it is the last thing in life that you shall see or feel. With it Mohammed Beyd will cut out your black heart. If you have a God pray to him now in a minute more you shall be dead," and with that he rushed viciously upon the Belgian, his knife raised high above his head. Werper was still dragging futilely at his weapon. The Arab was almost upon him.
A wall of ice was sweeping round the bend, and even as they looked the right-hand flank, unable to compass the curve, struck the further shore and flung up a ridge of heaving mountains. "Guid Gawd! Guid Gawd! Like rats i' the trap!" Tommy jabbed his paddle futilely in the water. "Get the stroke!" Corliss hissed in his ear, and La Bijou sprang away.
"You're engaged to me till the end of the month," said Sealman as firmly as if he alluded to a promise of marriage. "I've refused two other gentlemen. If you don't use the machine, you'll pay, anyhow." Angela would have given much if she had brought Kate. To be alone with these two monsters in an uninhabited world under a blazing sun, passionately hungry and futilely angry, was a dull adventure.
A blind desire, the same which on warm moonlit nights was used to shake like fever in the veins of a boy whom I remember, is futilely plaguing a gray fellow with the gray wraiths of innumerable old griefs and with small stinging memories of long-dead delights.
To Pollyanna it seemed such a pity that it should have happened at all, for it was the first cloud to bring a shadow of regret and unhappiness to her heart during the whole trip, and she found herself futilely sighing: "I wish we'd gone home day before yesterday; then it wouldn't have happened." But they had not gone home "day before yesterday," and it had happened; and this was the manner of it.
"Come, I've been trying futilely to read him asleep, but he is restless. No excitement, please." "I'll try not to. Perhaps, after all, you had better give him the wallet." "On the contrary, that would start a series of questions I could not answer. Come along." When Kitty saw Hawksley she gave a little gasp of astonishment. Why, he was positively handsome!
