The Schutte-Lanz was made with two gondolas rigidly attached to the envelope in which the gas bags were placed.
He quietly put his arm about her, as they stood at the rail, so that in turning her innocent, surprised eyes, she found his face very near. Susan held herself away rigidly, dropped her eyes. She could not answer. "How about it, Sue?" he asked, very low and, looking up, she found that he was half-smiling, but with anxious eyes. Suddenly she found her eyes brimming, and her lip shook.
Nevertheless, western nations are fully justified in rigidly holding the Peking authorities responsible for any violation of international duties committed anywhere within their jurisdiction; and it is not only fair, but expedient, that when such cases do occur some practical and important reparation should be made for them.
But in a philosophical sense the charge rests on a pure misunderstanding. The man of science or, in other words, the man who most rigidly confines his imagination within the bounds of the knowable, is every whit as ready to protest against "materialism" as his antagonist.
"I thought you told me that Major Garnet considered those sixty acres as almost worthless." "I believe he does." Her voice became faint. "I would gladly explain, son, if you were only well enough to hear me patiently." He lay rigidly still, with every nerve aching. His hands, locked under his head, grew tight as he heard her rise and draw near.

Leslie and Vivian stood by, rigidly awaiting their turn.

The governor, sub-governor, and several directors were brought before them, and examined rigidly.
The German officer lay where he fell, the dead steed pinning him down as it lay on its side with its hind, off-side leg rigidly extended at an oblique angle to the ground. Partly stunned by his fall the officer tried ineffectually to rise; then after a while he relaxed and lay motionless in the broiling sun with swarms of mosquitoes buzzing round the prostrate horse and rider.
