When they had driven three-quarters of a mile from the Crooked Ravine, Tortchakov looked round and stared intently into the distance. "I can't see the Cossack," he said. "Poor, dear fellow, to take it into his head to fall ill on the road. There couldn't be a worse misfortune, to have to travel and not have the strength. . . . I shouldn't wonder if he dies by the roadside.
Kate Cumberland listened intently and she thought that what the man muttered so rapidly, over and over to himself, was: "Eureka! Eureka! I have found it!" Found what? The triumph of mind over matter! On that couch was a dead body. The flutter of that heart was not the strong beating of the normal organ; the hands were cold; even the body was chilled; yet the man lived.
Now tell me," she leans even more forward and looks intently at the professor, her pretty brows wrinkled as if with extreme and troublous thought "What are the duties of a guardian?"

Harry glanced back once through an opening in the bushes and saw little Billy, holding the reins of the three horses and gazing intently after them.

Looking intently that way one night, he plainly distinguished an eye gleaming and glistening at the keyhole; and having now no doubt that his suspicions were correct, he stole softly to the door, and pounced upon her before she was aware of his approach. "Oh! I didn't mean any harm indeed. Upon my word I didn't," cried the small servant, struggling like a much larger one.
The Pharaohs and their queens began to move about and speak to each other; their voices came to his ears in one low, sweet murmur. In his amaze Smith had forgotten fear. From his hiding-place he watched them intently. Some of them he knew by their faces.

"I didn't notice that domn apple limb stickin' out there," he said. "Now you watch! Right out there among the bass weeds foreninst the pie-plant."
