Within a minute, Captain Luke Settle was turned on his back, his eyes fairly starting with Billy's clutch on his throat, his mouth wide open and gasping; till I slipp'd the nozzle of my pistol between his teeth; and with that he had no more chance, but gave in, and like a lamb submitted to have his arms truss'd behind him with Billy's leathern belt, and his legs with his own.
Her look at him might have had in it a vague betrayal of the sense that he was gaining time. "Was your telegram from Sir Luke?" "No I've had no telegram." She wondered. "But not a letter ?" "Not from Mrs. Stringham no." He failed again however to develop this for which her forbearance from another question gave him occasion. From whom then had he heard?
"They have no baseline of duty; they either rend themselves or rend others, but rend they must, hearts and not garments. Henri Durien knows, and she knows, and Alencon Barre knew, poor boy! But what Barre knew is buried with him back there under the palms. Luke and Clare are to be married to-morrow-God help them!
There lay Luke Darvil on the grass still living, but a horrible and ghastly spectacle. One ball had pierced his breast, another had shot away his jaw. His eyes rolled fearfully, and he tore up the grass with his hands. The officers looked coldly on. "He was a clever fellow!" said one. "And has given us much trouble," said the other; "let us see to Will."
Saint Luke the Evangelist is generally considered as the first of the religious painters, and the Vladimir Church at Moscow is in possession of a Madonna which is supposed to be the work of his hand.

"'Twas behind you, Christian, that I heard it down here." "Yes 'tis behind me!" Christian said. "Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, bless the bed that I lie on; four angels guard " "Hold your tongue. What is it?" said Fairway.
Andy stroked it gently. The animal sniffed and snuffed at his hand. He began to lick it. Just then the trainer ran up. He gave Luke a violent jerk backwards, throwing him prostrate in the sawdust. With a frightful roar Sultan sprang at the bars of the cage, glaring apparently not at Luke, but at the trainer. "Do you want to lose an arm?" shouted the latter, angrily.
And at these meetings, after the raptures, and after mother and child had gambolled together like a young cat and her first kitten, the boy would sometimes amuse himself alone at their feet, and the two women generally seized this opportunity to talk very seriously about Luke Peterson, This began thus: "Reicht," said Margaret, "I as good as promised him to marry Luke Peterson.
Theobald's wife is keen about her husband's profession, and will not let him leave the army yet, so that we see them only at intervals. But the old couple are not lonely. My godmother and Uncle Luke have their full measure of happiness.
I believe He was the son of Joseph and Mary; that Joseph and Mary had been duly and legally married; that He was the legitimate offspring of that marriage, and nobody ever believed the contrary until He had been dead 150 years. Neither Matthew, Mark nor Luke ever dreamed that He was of divine origin.
