"Don't get out, Tom," said his, lordship, stopping the hansom, "I only want to ask a question I sha'n't be a minute;" and in two strides he was across the pavement and within the folding-doors of the shop. Perhaps the question he meant to ask was of his own common-sense, and its answer seemed hard to accept philosophically.
Now, you know what the first book of 'Orion' is, and 'Marlowe, and 'Cosmo; and you sha'n't say that you don't know it, and that when you forgot it for a moment, I did not remind you.... It was our plan to leave Florence on the 21st. We stay, however, one month longer, half through temptation, half through reason. Which is strongest, who knows?
"One thing I know: I sha'n't go there again in a hurry!" Her lilacs, after wondering a moment what to do with them, she had quietly deposited outside Gerald's entrance-door. It was unimaginable, of course, that the childhood's friend should so disregard the rules of the game as to leave her old playmate's curiosity long unsatisfied.
It is the economy of hell. "I sha'n't feel safe till that bull of yours is a mile off!" he said. "Come along, Nimrod!" answered Clare, always ready with the responsive deed. Away went Nimrod, gentle as a lamb. Across country. The two men came after at their ease. No sooner was Nimrod on the road, however, than he began to quicken his pace.
The Blackbird was very grieved for his friend's trouble, and he felt rather uncomfortable besides, for it occurred to him that the same wretched man might very likely shoot him some evening, and then what would become of his little wife? He therefore prepared to fly off, but before doing so he said, "I hope we sha'n't be shot also, for these grubs are easier food to get at than the snails.
I reckon she still feels sore over that buggy-ride that went crooked, an' has decided that you sha'n't take part in any festivities that she has anything to do with. I like to stay with you, Alf, as well as I would with any feller, but the change to that fine place won't be bad. I'll have a good time, takin' it all in all.
"Well, I sha'n't attempt to compete with your friends, Bart." "There you both go, quarreling again," cried Clausen. "If you don't shut up, I'll have to whip the pair of you." Wallace Clausen was about two thirds the size of Cloud, and lacked both the height and breadth of shoulder that made West's popular nickname of "Out" West seem so appropriate.
As told before, he was but a boy of eight, yet his life on the frontier had given him the appearance of being ten or more. Rushing in front of the mustang, he raised his gun and pointed the muzzle at Stiger's head. "Stop where you are!" he cried, commandingly. "You sha'n't leave this spot until you give up that deer, and that's all there is to it!"
I feel stronger already, while so long as I was at Delft I did not seem to gain from one day to the other. I hope we sha'n't make too rapid a voyage; I don't want to come home as an invalid." "We shall not make a fast run of it unless the wind changes, Ned. It blows steadily from the west at present, and we shall be lucky if we cast anchor under a week in the Pool." "All the better, father.
It would have been better if we had parted forever then. But we must part now." "We will not part," Stephen burst out, instinctively placing his back against the door, forgetting everything he had said a few moments before; "I will not endure it. You'll make me desperate; I sha'n't know what I do." Maggie trembled. She felt that the parting could not be effected suddenly.
