In this game a rubber ball is used. One of the players throws it against a wall and as it strikes calls out the name of another player, who must catch it on its first bounce. If he does so he in turn then throws the ball against the wall, but if he misses he recovers it as quickly as possible while the rest scatter, and calls "stand," at which signal all the players must stop.
Lilian is changed, changed unaccountably. Yet sure I am that the change is only on the surface, that her heart is really yours, as entirely and as faithfully as ever it was; and that later, when she recovers from the strange, dreamy kind of torpor which appears to have come over all her faculties and all her affections, she would awake with a despair which you cannot conjecture to the knowledge that you had renounced her."
Thus Martin and Barney were separated in the wild regions near the Sierra dos Parecis of Brazil. When the mind has been overwhelmed by some sudden and terrible calamity, it is long ere it again recovers its wonted elasticity.
As a result, the attacks are not so frequent; they appear now only about once a year, and always late in the autumn. When he recovers, Taillefer says repeatedly that he would far rather die than endure such torture." "Then he must suffer terribly!" said a broker, considered a wit, who was present. "Oh," continued the mistress of the house, "last year he nearly died in one of these attacks.
Of course, it didn't count, and Hercules apologized so gracefully to the rest of the visitors that they withdrew their protest and let him play on." "I should think he would have apologized to Pompey," said I. "He will when Pompey recovers consciousness," said my guide, simply. So interested was I in the Royal Arena and its recent game that I forgot all about Jupiter.
I told you he was mine, but I thought then that I was claiming him from death. He will live. He never has asked me to marry him; maybe he never will. When he recovers, he may turn to you who can tell?" "No, it's only you that he thinks of, Frances. When I was watching by him he opened his eyes, and you should have seen the look in them when he saw me instead of you.
Therefore, if only for the sake of example it would be wrong to set her free; indeed, to do so, would be to give her to death. My command is, then, that she shall be taken good care of, and if she recovers, be sent to Rome to adorn my Triumph, should the gods grant me such a thing, and afterwards be sold as a slave for the benefit of the wounded soldiers and the poor.
'No, no, says her friend, 'I can assure you Sir is no hypocrite, he is really an honest, sober gentleman, and he has certainly been robbed. 'Nay, says my governess, 'it may be he has; it is no business of mine, I tell you; I only want to speak with him; my business is of another nature. 'But, says her friend, 'let your business be of what nature it will, you cannot see him yet, for he is not fit to be seen, for he is very ill, and bruised very much, 'Ay, says my governess, 'nay, then he has fallen into bad hands, to be sure, And then she asked gravely, 'Pray, where is he bruised? 'Why, in the head, says her friend, 'and one of his hands, and his face, for they used him barbarously. 'Poor gentleman, says my governess, 'I must wait, then, till he recovers'; and adds, 'I hope it will not be long, for I want very much to speak with him.
"It is hardly a matter of courage," ventured Sterry, "for no one knowing you or your sister would question your bravery, but it is rather the peace of mind of your mother and her. It will be a long time, if ever, before your parent recovers from the shock of yesterday.
A gentleman makes a desperate rush and grabs the handrail; his foot slips on the asphalt or wood, which is like oil, he slides, his hat totters; happily he recovers himself and gets in. In the block the 'bus is stayed a moment, and somehow we follow, and are landed "somehow" advisedly. For how do we get into a 'bus?
