Philip quickly pushed the crowd of fugitives past the phalanx into the middle division, and, without waiting till Nicanor had arrived on the left wing with the other half of the phalanx which followed more slowly, he ordered the right phalanx to couch their spears and to charge down the hill on the legions, and the rearranged light infantry simultaneously to turn them and fall upon them in flank.
The ex-soldier squatted down before the little blaze, and rearranged some fuel under the kettle. "Where is the other man?" said he. "Go and fetch him." I departed for the purpose, and, on my way, heard one of the carpenters in the neighbourhood of the barraque say in a thick, unctuous, sing-song voice. "A great work is it indeed!"
Miss Rutherford, her face glistening with heat, had gone to sleep in a most uncomfortable attitude soon after luncheon. Her head nodded backwards from time to time and whenever it did so she opened her eyes, smiled at Frank, rearranged herself a little and then went to sleep again. The cattle on Inishbawn had forsaken their scanty pasture and stood knee-deep in the sea.
She allowed herself to be poked about and rearranged as to her shawl and the narrow-brimmed youthful hat which she wore on the peak of her skull, and she softened to something like a smile at the touch of Statira's quick hands.
"Don't think of that now," she exclaimed. She moved nearer him, as though still fearing that he was concealing some injury from her.

"I give you my word," replied Boleslas, taking her hand, and adding: "And then?" "There is no then," said she, withdrawing her hand, but gently. And she began to realize herself her promise of pardon, for she rearranged the pillows under the wounded man's head, while he resumed: "Yes, my noble Maud, there is a then.
He finished them hopelessly, and then savagely thrust the string of beads under his pillow again; turned over once more, rearranged his feet, wished the Major would learn how to sleep like a gentleman; and began to think about his religion in itself. After all, he began to say to himself, what proof was there real scientific proof that the thing was true at all?

He rearranged the gay blue flower which had almost detached itself from the lapel of his coat, then said laconically: "I am authorized by Mr. Anderson to offer you $500,000 for your property."
