The word and the gesture killed, as if they had been a blow, a kind of sentimental tenderness which had been stealing over me. 'What are you doing here? I asked. She was silent. 'Please don't think I want to pry into your affairs, I said viciously. 'I was only interested in the coincidence that we should meet here like this. She turned to me impulsively. Her face had lost its hard look.
He, poor fellow, mourned much for his Peggy, as he called the pretty young heathen wife he had left behind him in Waally's country. "Forthwith a guard at every gun Was placed along the wall; The beacon blazed upon the roof Of Edgecombe's lofty hall; And many a fishing bark put out, To pry along the coast; And with loose rein, and bloody spur Rode inland many a post." The Spanish Armada. Macauley.
All of us love to pry into dark recesses hid from our view, and over which you profess the empire." "Your voice is sweet, but commanding," said the oracle; and your air is stately, as of one born in courts. Lift your veil, that I may gaze upon your face, and tell by its lines the fate your character has shaped for you."
The Marionette's lips might have been nailed together. They would not open. In desperation the smaller of the two Assassins pulled out a long knife from his pocket, and tried to pry Pinocchio's mouth open with it. Quick as a flash, the Marionette sank his teeth deep into the Assassin's hand, bit it off and spat it out. Fancy his surprise when he saw that it was not a hand, but a cat's paw.
They trade to Waterville and thereabouts, names, as "Paul Pry," on their sails. Saturday, July 15th. Went with B yesterday to visit several Irish shanties, endeavoring to find out who had stolen some rails of a fence. At last a middle-aged woman showed herself, half-dressed, and completing her toilet.
"Let's pry it up, then," suggested Greg. But the brick resisted rather strenuous efforts. "That's odd, in itself," muttered Holmes. "Almost of the bricks in these fireplaces come up as easily as a naval apprentice's dinner. Anse, we've got to work at this brick until we have loose. It surely hides something." "We mustn't damage either the wooden or brick flooring," warned Furlong.
I was wondering if they'd be able to pry him off me, when, in the third round, he took his hold; and I began to drown, just as I did when I fell into the river off the Red C slip. He closed deeper and deeper, on my throat, and everything went black and red and bursting; and then, when I were sure I were dead, the handlers pulled him off, and the Master give me a kick that brought me to.
Let two idle tongues utter a tale against some third person, who never offended the babblers, and how the tale spreads, like fire, lighted none know how, in the herbage of an American prairie! Who shall put it out? What right have we to pry into the secrets of other men's hearths? True or false, the tale that is gabbled to us, what concern of ours can it be?
"Jacob, I don't wish to pry into your concerns, or to ask questions which you may not like to answer. I hope, however, that you will not scruple to ask my advice on any matter in which I can be of service to you."
Still, there is a chance, if it be but one out of a thousand, that he may be the latter. I don't think that I am at all of a suspicious nature, but I really should like to learn a little about this man. I do not mean that I am going to try to do so. It would be an unworthy action to pry into another's business, when it is no concern of one's own. Still, I should like to know why he is here."
