You're as white as a sheet. What is it?" "Good heavens!" gasped Beatrice. She lay back in her chair, and stared with horrified eyes into space. "Good good heavens!" Mrs.

The man, with a significant gesture, drew his sabre up half way out of its sheath; then let it fall again with a clash. He vouchsafed no other answer. Some women's faces pressed in at the grating of the window which looked on the little garden, scared, blanched, horrified, the white head, and sunburnt features of Gianna foremost. "Reverendissimo!" they screamed as with one voice.

"You have taken MY apple, I tell you," was heard in a childish voice from the next room, a soft lisping voice. It came from the most peaceful innocence in the world! It saved her! He rushed out again; but even when the rage had left him which had seized upon him and dominated him as a rider does a horse, he was still not horrified at himself.

What had so horrified the virtuous Benson, Richard had already beheld in Daphne's Bower; a simple kissing of the fair white hand! Doubtless the keyhole somehow added to Benson's horror.

She flung herself down in the dust beside Cameron and turned him over. His face was white, his eyes glazed. He looked like death. "Oh! Oh!" she moaned. "Have they killed you? Have they killed you?" She gathered his head upon her knees, moaning like a wounded animal. "Good Lord, Mandy, don't go on like that!" cried Sam in a horrified voice. "It's only his leg broke."

'I did not look into a hut or a tent, wrote a horrified observer, 'in which I did not find a dead or dying man. Disorganization became so complete that no exact returns were ever made up.

Great things are happening, and for us!" "I know, I know," said Hekt. "Go away, Scherau now, Nemu, whisper in my ear what is doing?"

I ain't much account." Barbara looked at him in horrified surprise. "Oh, Uncle Jed!" she cried, "you mustn't talk so! You MUSTN'T! Why why, you're the bestest man there is. And there isn't anybody in Orham can make windmills the way you can. I asked Teacher if there was and she said no. So there! And you're a GREAT cons'lation to all our family," she added, solemnly.
