The wings on their shoulders spread out and the wings at their heels trembled. Phineus, the king, leaned forward and panted: "By the wisdom I have I know that there are two amongst you who can save me.

Thither Tamenund also retired, with calm composure, after a short and touching interview with Uncas; from whom the sage separated with the reluctance that a parent would quit a long lost and just recovered child. In the meantime, Duncan saw Alice to a place of safety, and then sought the scout, with a countenance that denoted how eagerly he also panted for the approaching contest.
"Oh, I don't know very well; I don't mind!" she panted miserably. He drew rein, and as they slowed he was on the point of imprinting the desired salute, when, as if hardly yet aware of her own modesty, she dodged aside. His arms being occupied with the reins there was left him no power to prevent her manoeuvre. "Now, damn it I'll break both our necks!" swore her capriciously passionate companion.

His father who had been fifty years in the United States! How simple, then, to understand what was wrong with Germany. "By God! I am American!" he panted, and it was as if he called to the grave of his mother, over there on the dark, windy hill. That tremendous uprising of his passion had been a vortex, an end, a decision. And he realized that even to that hour there had been a drag in his blood.
After her supper she went to a picture show. She was amazed to find there, instead of the accustomed orchestra, a pipe-organ that panted and throbbed and rumbled over lugubrious classics. The picture was about a faithless wife. Terry left in the middle of it. She awoke next morning at seven, as usual, started up wildly, looked around, and dropped back. Nothing to get up for.

"I have come to nurse you," she said. "You!"
"Are you going to make it, Tom?" asked the government agent, anxiously, as he stood over the young inventor. "I I think so," panted Tom. "Are we near the Dominion line," "Pretty close," was the discouraging answer. "I'm afraid we can't get 'em before they cross. Can you use any more speed?" "I don't know.
