Having obtained the latitude 68 degrees 6 minutes 40 seconds North we recommenced our voyage under sail, taking the precaution to embark all the pieces of willow we could collect, as we had found the driftwood become more scarce as we advanced.
"Who is it?" the men whisper. "Belongs to the 170th. They replaced us. He was caught in the Boyau des Anglais." "That's a wicked spot, that is!" "Is he one of ours?" questioned a man from an upper window, stopping an instant in the act of polishing his gun. "No," answers some one. The enquirer recommenced his work, and with it the refrain of his song, just where he had left off.
Sometimes they shook each other, sometimes they lay still, sometimes they recommenced rolling. Both were perfectly silent, save that the larger personage seemed to breathe somewhat heavily. Lorimer stepped into the room to secure a better view then he broke into an irrepressible laugh. "It's Duprez," he cried, for the benefit of the others that stood at the door. "By Jove!
It had struck Mademoiselle that possibly Carmilla had been wakened by the uproar at her door, and in her first panic had jumped from her bed, and hid herself in a press, or behind a curtain, from which she could not, of course, emerge until the majordomo and his myrmidons had withdrawn. We now recommenced our search, and began to call her name again. It was all to no purpose.
He'll be back, Mr. Duff will, presently." "That will do," said Inspector Val. "When Mr. Duff returns, tell him to come in." Mr. England withdrew, and recommenced his sightseeing on the opposite side of the street. "Mr. England and Mr. Duff," explained Inspector Val, "came down with me.

With the money she at last received from Barneville she paid two bills; the other fifteen hundred francs fell due. She renewed the bills, and thus it was continually. Sometimes, it is true, she tried to make a calculation, but she discovered things so exorbitant that she could not believe them possible. Then she recommenced, soon got confused, gave it all up, and thought no more about it.
The broad leaves of the ailantus began to rustle; an ominous pattering followed; the rain had recommenced. And as Courtland rose and walked towards the open window its blank panes and the interior of the office were suddenly illuminated by a gleam of returning lightning. He entered the office, bidding Cato follow, and lit the lamp above his desk.
It would have been very pleasant to take his turn at showing her round Patricia had only been in London once, and there would have been plenty to show her. Lessons, however, recommenced almost at once and Christopher was left with little time for regrets. Life fell back into its old grooves with the solitary difference that those grooves seemed deeper worn and more familiar than he had imagined.
I shuddered to be near him, and thought on the servant's ill-bred moroseness as comparatively agreeable. He now recommenced his moody walk, and I raised the latch, and escaped into the kitchen. Joseph was bending over the fire, peering into a large pan that swung above it; and a wooden bowl of oatmeal stood on the settle close by.
"We were talking about women," he sternly recommenced, "and I was warning you that their wiles are snares of the evil one, who finds them ever ready to carry out his worst behests. Women are bad." "Are they, now?" said Diavolo. "Well, I should have thought, taking them all round, you know, that they're a precious sight better than we are."
