I must go now, or I shall be late for lunch. Good-bye!" The boy lifted himself again with a slow, ungainly movement, and raised a hand to his forehead in wholly unexpected salute. She smiled and turned to depart, but he spoke again, arresting her. "I say!" She looked back. "Yes? What is it?" He shuffled his bare feet in the grass in embarrassment and murmured something she could not hear.

But did pain, and martyrdom, and victory lie back in the days of Galahad and Arthur alone? The homely face grew stiller than before, looking out into the dun sweep of moorland, cold, unrevealing. It baffled the man that looked at it. He shuffled, chewed tobacco vehemently, tilted his chair on two legs, broke out in a thunder-gust at last. "Dead days for dead men!

What do you mean?" stammered Armand, a little bewildered. "She is not here quoi!" retorted the concierge, who now turned deliberately on his heel. "Go and look for her, citizen; it'll take you some time to find her." He shuffled off in the direction of the stairs. Armand was vainly trying to shake himself free from a sudden, an awful sense of horror.

For a turn or two, Peveril shuffled at random about the room, with his arms extended; and then at last recollected, that with the impediment of his shackles, and the noise which necessarily accompanied his motions, and announced where he was, it would be impossible for him to lay hands on any one who might be disposed to keep out of his reach.

Cynthia, through her half-closed eyes, saw one old man with disturbed features, standing with his hand upon her chair, while another old man shuffled toward her with a glass of water, which spilled a little in his shaking hand as he came across the humble kitchen.

About midnight the noises dulled away, and I was sinking to sleep, when I heard a new and curious sound; I listened: evidently some joyous lunatic was softly dancing a "double shuffle" in the room over my head. I had to wait for him to get through, of course. Five long, long minutes he smoothly shuffled away a pause followed, then something fell with a thump on the floor.

They paused in their game to inspect, in their turn, the newcomers, and to La Boulaye it seemed that their glances were not free from uneasiness. "A picturesque company on my life," he mused aloud. Then beckoned the one in the crimson coat. "Hola, Citizen," he called to him. The fellow hesitated a moment, then shuffled forward with a sullen air, and stood by Caron's stirrup.

A hoarse outcry rose toward the multitude of stars: "We will not enter the country of the Mambava when they dance to the moon!" The askaris, their fezzes cocked jauntily, impatiently shuffled their sandals of giraffe hide, and hitched up their belts in which were thrust broad-bladed Somali knives. "They are rabbits," the askaris affirmed. "Even this lady shames them. They are less than women."

They'll listen to you, because you're eddicated." "I don't know anything about politics," answered Wetherell, with an appealing glance at the silent group, group that was always there. Rias Richardson, who had donned the carpet slippers preparatory to tending store for the day, shuffled inside. Deacon Lysander, his father, would not have done so.

Then, after two or three attempts, he managed to draw himself up and get first one leg and then his whole body over the branch. Then he sat up and shuffled along to the trunk, against which he leaned with one arm around it, all in a perspiration, and trembling with the exertion and excitement. When he had rested awhile, he stood up on the limb and looked toward the land.
