"There's nothing here!" Frank was saying, under her breath. "Then it must be the box!" he told her. Durkin knew it was already too late to file and fit a skeleton key. His first impulse was to bury the box under a muffling pile of bedding and send a bullet or two through the lock.
They were in plain sight, and the swarthy countenance gleamed, as, carefully muffling the sound of the hammer, he drew it back and brought the rifle to his shoulder. The distance was short and he could not mistake his aim. Though his life had just been spared by the couple, he fairly held his breath in his eagerness to take their lives.
My many failures, while discouraging, were fruitful of experience, for I learned to hunt up-wind, thus discounting the high-power noses of the bears and muffling to some extent my clumsy movements from the deer.
The dull roar of the guns filled the air. Sometimes the batteries were silent at night; but Wolfe kept things alive on this occasion, in order to cover the approach of the boarding party. Now the mouth of the harbour was reached, and the little fleet gathered itself more compactly together, and the muffling of the oars was carefully looked to.
The strange woman who had stood her ground was heard to say in a low voice, half lost in the muffling of her wrappings: "One!" Momus drove on leisurely and Laodice, knowing that she must not look, slipped down in her place and wrapped her vitta over her face. Pestilence was riding with them. After a long time, Costobarus' camel ambled up beside hers, and she ventured to uncover her eyes.
Such a confession of weakness, urged Müffling, would dishearten the troops and intimidate the Austrian statesmen who had promised speedy succour. Let the allies cling to the sheltering rampart of the Riesengebirge, where they might defy Napoleon's attacks and await the white-coats.
"Proceed," said I. "I reside in the shameful old graveyard a block or two above you here, in this street there, now, I just expected that cartilage would let go! third rib from the bottom, friend, hitch the end of it to my spine with a string, if you have got such a thing about you, though a bit of silver wire is a deal pleasanter, and more durable and becoming, if one keeps it polished to think of shredding out and going to pieces in this way, just on account of the indifference and neglect of one's posterity!" and the poor ghost grated his teeth in a way that gave me a wrench and a shiver for the effect is mightily increased by the absence of muffling flesh and cuticle.
What she should have done was to have given William a vacation and secured an entirely strange coachman for the summer who would have had no friendly sentiments to give play to. But her desire was now all to escape from William's amiable attentions. "Take me home," she said presently, muffling her voice behind her hand and veil, and withdrawing from it its accustomed tone of authority.
'Who comes wailing in the black o' night? said the voice of Vessons as they neared the hall door. 'I thought it was the lady as no gold comforts her as hollas "Lost! Alost!" in the Undern Coppy. Undern was in its June mood. Pinks frothed over the edges of the borders, and white bush-roses flung their arms high over the porch. All was heavily fragrant, close, muffling the senses.
With the thirty thousand which Saxony had put at his disposal, and with such an army as Austria herself could raise, the minister felt sure that at some critical moment she would be able, as a well-armed mediator, to command a peace in terms restoring to his country the prestige of immemorial empire.
