Before she could speak, and at the moment Ashman turned his head, a giant figure was seen to rise as if out of the very earth, directly behind the miscreant. He held his prodigious javelin poised over his bead. He was seen to make a sudden onward movement and then the weapon vanished.

"I'm sure I don't know," said Joel, poised on a careless foot, and executing a remarkable pas seul. "I don't believe she knows herself. Polly is often queer, you know, Phronsie," he added cheerfully. "Tell me, Polly, do," whispered Phronsie, going over to her.

With the tongs poised ready to pounce, she waited for him to tell her. But he didn't tell her; he smiled inscrutably. He wasn't sure at what he was smiling. Perhaps it was that he was happy happy in a worldly-wise fashion that he had never been with Terry. He could say anything to this woman and it wouldn't shock her there was comfort in that.

Partly because I couldn't find any way down. There seemed to be none. "But I was not bored. Oh, no. Just anxious concerning my situation. Otherwise I had plenty to look at." She waited, pencil poised. "Plenty to look at," he repeated absently. "Plenty of Huns to gaze at. Huns? They were like ants below me, there.

Now, if you expect me to do the same, you are mistaken!" "I am not expecting anything of the sort," said Stair patiently, looking past Patsy, away out to sea to the poised top of Snaefell lording it above the low-lying channel mists.

The blacks, as before, looked about them, and some, who were about to throw their spears, stopped with them poised in their hands.

There was a scene of great excitement as we left, and from the noise our people made they were evidently glad to get away. The Notus led the way, and they started to hop about, brandishing their spears. They did excellent scouting work in the long grass, rushing ahead with their spears poised. This time the rear guard was formed by some of the police.
