It was not a very small pony, and he had often seen children lose courage in making their first essay at riding. Fauntleroy mounted in great delight. He had never been on a pony before, and he was in the highest spirits. Wilkins, the groom, led the animal by the bridle up and down before the library window. "He's a well plucked un, he is," Wilkins remarked in the stable afterward with many grins.
And he grins more expansive than ever as he takes another look around. Next he's introduced proper to everybody, and inside of ten minutes we're all sitting down to breakfast together, while J. Dudley explains how him and Folly has been lifelong chums. So we didn't get pinched, after all.
With many slight grins, as though to say, "Take care, now, else I'll bite," the small monkey allowed Ailie to pat its head and stroke its back. Then it permitted her to take hold of its hand, and draw it towards her.
Master Hardy crossed the road. "What for?" he demanded, with surprise. "Because you're a nasty, horrid boy," replied Miss Nugent, drawing herself up. "Oh," said Master Hardy, blankly. The two gentlemen stood regarding each other with uneasy grins; the lady stood by in breathless expectation. The suspense became painful. "Who are you staring at?" demanded Master Nugent, at last.
The slight crowd listens. Peace comes from the sun. The sun is the source of light and of health. It is the eye of God. Terrible by day and watching by night. It is the fire of life. The slight crowd grins and the evangelist, his mind bubbling with a cabalistic jargon remembered out of musty books, tries to explain something that seems vivid in his heart but vague to his tongue.
There were some grins at that sally, which encouraged the Spaniard to go on. "How do you like it?" he inquired. "Santa Maria, couldn't you have run fast enough?" "They won't run any more," snarled another. "They'll be put where they're safe."
Rip led the way from the mixing chamber, through the heavy safety door, and into the engine control room. His entrance was met with poorly concealed grins by the spacemen. Halfway across the room, Rip turned suddenly and bumped into Sergeant Major Koa. Koa fell to the deck, arms flailing for balance but flailing against his protective clothing.
It was Danbury's first opportunity to look over his mercenaries as a whole and he gave a gasp of surprise at the row after row of villainous faces raised with sneering grins to his.
"'I ain't aimin' to fight you today, Lawler, he says, his face bloomin' like a cactus. "Lawler laughs, an' gives Shorty his gun back. Shorty grins like a tiger. 'Mebbe Singleton wouldn't mind acceptin' your kind offer, Boss? he says. "But Singleton don't break his neck reachin' for his gun, neither. He stands there, lookin' like a calf that's lost its mother.
You know that this miraculous gift is denied to me, to Roland and to many, as in our Duplant, Cavalier, or Salomon, when all recollection vanishes and every ordinary human feeling becomes extinct, in the same manner does it happen to me, when we at length fight in the tumult, or pass by triumphantly the churches of our foes: from every dumb brick their scorn grins at me, from every beam the blood of our martyrs so arrogantly shed cries out to me; then, when the malignant followers of their priests sneak up to me with feigned supplications, then indeed, something roars within me for revenge, like a lion if he has once tasted blood, the sword and dagger pierce through their breasts as they kneel before me, my whole heart bounds, when the laughing flames rise up triumphantly through the edifice, when in the blaze the beams are consumed and fall down and bury women and children in the red glow.
