Not long after he stood for the consulship; when, however, the people began to relent and incline to favor him, being sensible what a shame it would be to repulse and affront a man of his birth and merit, after he had done them so many signal services.
"I wanted to ask you if the men made any observa- tions on my going behind the sedge with Mr. Boldwood yesterday?" "Yes, they did." said Gabriel. "You don't hold the shears right, miss I knew you wouldn't know the way hold like this." "Incline the edge so," he said. Hands and shears were inclined to suit the words, and held thus for a peculiarly long time by the in- structor as he spoke.
We found him a delightful man, quite of the right sort to be useful to us. As the Molokans speak nothing but Russ, we shall be in want of an interpreter in our visit to them. I told him he must go with us; and he immediately said. I will go with pleasure; whenever you return here and incline to go, I will be at home and will accompany you.
The tiny surge rolls up the incline; each wave differing in the height to which it reaches, and none of them alike, washing with it minute fragments of stone and gravel, mere specks which vibrate to and fro with the ripple and even drift with the current. Will these fragments, after a process of trituration, ultimately become sand?
Her head rests more heavily against your shoulder and her bosom trembles with a half-audible sigh. There is now really no occasion for further delay. Do not swoop down upon the health germs like a hungry hen-hawk on a green gosling, but incline your head gently until your carefully deodorized breath is upon her lips there pause, for the essence of enjoyment is in anticipation.
Then I got up and climbed out of the incline into the open trench. I worked my way towards the firing trench; bullets from Bosche machine-guns and snipers were flattening themselves against the parapet. Several times I had to squeeze myself close to the muddy sides to allow stretcher-bearers to pass with their grim burdens; some for the corner of the Quarry, some for good old "Blighty."
"Well," said Fuller, "you must get on with your job now, but come up to my tent after supper." Dick started his locomotive, and when it panted away up the incline Fuller looked at his daughter with a smile. "What do you think of that young man?" "He has a nice face. Of course he's not the type one would expect to find driving a locomotive." "Pshaw!" said Fuller. "I'm not talking about his looks."
They incline the mirror at will and light the sea to find out if any folks like us are roving over it. They're on the watch for smugglers. We're out of reach; they're too far away, now. Don't be afraid, boy, we're safe! Now, we. . ." Tchelkache looked around him triumphantly. "Yes, we're safe. Out! You were in luck, you worthless stick!"
But nothing perhaps was more moving than the silence and majesty that invested the grave of Cecil Rhodes. Instinctively there came to my mind the lines about him that Kipling wrote in "The Burial": It is his will that he look forth Across the world he won The granite of the ancient North Great spaces washed with sun. When I reached the bottom of the long incline on my way out I looked back.
"'Twould be devilish dangerous for a girl," he muttered, pulling fiercely at his mustache. "Do you mean the court, sir?" I asked. "Aye," returned the doctor with a dry laugh that meant the opposite of his words. "An you incline to the court, learn the tricks o' the foils, or rogues will slit both purse and throat."
