Without a word Kennedy hustled us out of the laboratory, stuffing the X-ray pictures into his pocket, also, as we went. As we hurried down-town Chapelle told us how he had tried to keep a watch by bribing one of the neighbors, who had just informed him of the tragedy.
Upon occasions when he was afforded admission he was hustled through the yard by a warder and not allowed to hold private conversation with any of the prisoners. On several occasions he complained that he was refused admission by order of the gaoler, and the spectacle of England's representative being turned away by an ignorant and ill-conditioned official like Du Plessis was not an edifying one.
A crowd of blue-clad figures with yellow faces and calves was being hustled down into the boats of the chartered steamer lying well out, like a painted ship on a painted sea; painted in crude colours, without shadows, without feeling, with brutal precision. "You had better hurry up if you don't want to be left behind." But the Chinaman did not move. "We stop," he declared.
Then again, the fire within him perhaps helped to increase his natural speed. "I burn! I burn!" he wailed as the boys grabbed and laughingly hustled him back to camp.

After food had been distributed, when anything was left, you saw some of them rush to the neighbourhood of the kitchens; hustled and beaten by the sentries, these unfortunates risked blows and abuse to try and pick up some additional morsels of the sickening food.

Entering the hut after kicking much snow from boots one passed first through the acetylene smelling porch Handy Andy's pride as we called Day's gas plant, then in to the seamen's quarters, where the smell of cooking delighted and the sight of those great, hefty sailors scoffing the midday meal hustled one still more.
You people who've tried to make your religion the pill to go with your charity have done more harm in the world than you know of." The young man was on fire to speak, but he had no chance. They hustled him out good-naturedly except that the costermonger, running him down the room, took his cap from his head and sent it spinning across the road.

The bride and bridegroom were hustled into their clothes. There followed much female embracing and male hand-shaking.

"I am a prisoner," replied the man, "just as are you. I think they intend holding us for ransom. They got me in San Francisco. Slugged me and hustled me aboard the night before they sailed." "Where are they going to take us?" she asked.
