Meanwhile, Mabel busied herself about her household concern, and was singing a lulling melody to her grandfather, in a voice of exquisite sweetness, when a loud tap was heard at the door. Tristram roused himself from his doze, and old Hubert growled menacingly. "Quiet, Hubert quiet!" cried Tristram. "It cannot be Morgan Fenwolf," he added. "He would never knock thus.
Why didn't you get rid of the poor, penny doctor, instead of encouraging him?" "I could not say much to the doctor, for he had my life in his hands, and saved it." "There might be worse things for you to face," replied the man, menacingly. And the poor old basket-maker understood but too well what he meant.
He held his ponderous javelin with its poisoned tip in his right hand, and he looked keenly about in the gathering gloom. A warrior stopped in front of him and made a respectful inquiry about the white men. Ziffak uttered such an angry reply and raised his weapon so menacingly that the native skurried away in terror of his life.
Stand out of my path and let me pass before I strike you to the earth as I would a mongrel, yelping cur!" With these words he raised his staff menacingly over the young Italian. The latter with the quickness and agility of a deer sprang at the staff, grasped it and sent it whirling into the chestnut grove. Then he caught old Solara by the throat and a terrible struggle at once began.
Saying this, Babalatchi stepped carelessly forward, putting his foot as if accidentally on the hand of the corpse and pressing it into the soft mud. He swung his staff menacingly towards the crowd, which fell back a little.

The more boldly he faced them, the more menacingly he went out of his way to meet them, the greater would be his advantage. If Matthews were another Hickok the situation would have been vastly different.
One more article followed the other two a letter, which Connie Myers took out of an unsealed envelope. He dropped this suddenly on the table, as Mike Hagan, three feet away on the floor, groaned and sat up. Hagan's eyes swept, bewildered, confused, around him, questioningly at Connie Myers and then, resting suddenly on his bound wrists, they narrowed menacingly.
He had talked menacingly of the French who held the valley beyond, had encouraged the extension of English settlements to break the line of French possessions, and had formed a short-lived Virginia-Indian company to protect the frontier against French and Indian incursions. This expedition was a visible challenge.
Do you forget the battle of Albracca, and how, in your defence, I fought single-handed against Agrican and all his knights?" Angelica made no reply, uncertain what to do; but already Rinaldo was too near to be escaped. He advanced menacingly to the Circassian king, for he recognized his horse.
Then, turning fiercely to Betty, he cried: "You're not lying to me, are you? Because I'll throw you into the river! I'll cut you into little pieces!" As the man advanced menacingly, Grace screamed and Mollie ran forward with some wild idea of protecting her chum, but Betty waved them back. "I'm not lying to you," she told the crazy man, looking straight into his glaring eyes.
