A big black dog seated on his haunches at the entrance to the village seemed to be mounting guard over it. Languor slowly stole over Abbe Mouret. The rising sun steeped him in such warmth that he leant back against the church door pervaded by a feeling of happy restfulness.
"The smashing of the darn Skandinavian ring," cried Bat, his deep-set eyes alight. "And drive them back over the sea." Bat suddenly leant across the table. "That's it, boy," he cried. "That's it! Hellbeam and all his gang. The Skandinavia Corporation. Smash 'em! Drive 'em to Hell! It ain't profit. It's the trade. The A'mighty made Canada an' built the Canadian.
He stood up sat down; then rising once more, leant on the mantel-piece, scarcely knowing how to face either of them his aunt, with her well-merited displeasure, and Charles, who when he parted with him had accused him so justly Charles, who had seen through him and had been treated with scorn.

We had rowed round a kind of mole, and now we were in a small bay full of high rocks, whose shadows looked like towers built in the water, and I suddenly perceived that the sea was phosphorescent, and as the oars moved gently, they seemed to light up moving flames, that followed in our wake, and then died out, and I leant over the side of the boat and watched it, as we glided over that glimmer in the darkness.

The labourer leant his elbow upon the shaft of the gig and turned his face, pale and sweating from his late work at the fire, up to Manston's.

Eleanor made a choice from Beethoven, and, whilst she played, Elgar leant forward on the back of a chair.
When I came home I found you had gone so much further than I know you ever intended to, and have been the cause of so much trouble, and the death of brave men, and I was very sorry." Cecilia leant on the bare table before her, and felt that every moment as it passed brought with it a cooling of the once passionate feeling she had entertained for the Dubois of her childhood.
