He would desire you to come to him." "He is at peace? He found the upper world good?" "He found it good, Vreenya. And he is at peace." "It is well. Now the commands of Tai Kromno shall be done. His house is ready!" While Stern clambered out of the machine and stretched his half-paralyzed limbs, the news ran, a murmur of many voices, through the massed Folk.
An instant later it was up, but now its movements were dazed and sluggish as it dragged its half-paralyzed abdomen after it, and fumbled and caught on the heavy bar that transfixed it. Jim caught the bar and tugged it. "My spear!" he cried. "Denny help!" Together the two wrenched to jerk the spear loose from the horny armor of the dying ant. The rest of the pack were very near now.
He caught the half-paralyzed arm of Flint and dragged him into the street. "But," stammered the horrified Flint, as he was borne along, "what does it all mean? What made that man attack me?" "I reckon it was a case of shooting on sight, Mr. Fowler; but he missed it by not waiting to see if you were armed.
Craddock stood for a breath glaring at the man who had humiliated him in his new dignity, clutching his half-paralyzed wrist. He said nothing, but there was the proclamation of a death feud in his eyes. "Give him a gun, somebody!" said a fool in the crowd that pressed to the edge of the sidewalk at the marshal's back.
Marvelling at the mental lucidity, the spiritual loftiness of his changed mood, his visitor wished to take leave of him with this image in her memory; but just then a half-paralyzed Jewish graybeard made his appearance, and Heine's instant dismissal of him on her account made it difficult not to linger a little longer.

Having persuaded his patient to stay in bed for a week, the doctor looked in nightly "for five minutes" and stayed sixty-five, smoking three disreputable pipes instead of one and generalizing on life and health. "It gives me a headache even to think of work," said Eric, his brain half-paralyzed with bromide.
The men continued to shout and beat the drum, the bears growled, and the crowd began to file in. First they brought out a poor, half-paralyzed bear, which seemed considerably bored. It wore a muzzle and had a big collar with an iron chain around its neck, a rope in its nose, to make it obey commands promptly, and a sort of leather hood over its ears.

He was an old man, said to be about seventy years of age, his legs were half-paralyzed, and they nevertheless moved with a series of incessant and rapid but unvoluntary jerks under his heavy bowed body, and he was supported on either hand by a tall young fellow. His nobly-formed head, must have been in his youth, of extraordinary beauty.
"I'm not deceiving you now, Alida," he said with much solemnity. "She IS dead. If you were calmer, I have proofs to convince you in these papers.
