The moment he was gone, Arthur released Mrs Finching: with some difficulty, by reason of that lady misunderstanding his intentions, and making arrangements with a view to tightening instead of slackening. 'Affery, speak to me now! 'Don't touch me, Arthur! she cried, shrinking from him. 'Don't come near me. He'll see you. Jeremiah will. Don't.

The Princeton quarter-back had darted through the line like a bullet. Without slackening speed or veering from his course, he scooped up the ball as he fled toward the Yale goal-line.

"Lanciers du 6-me," * replied Dolokhov, neither hastening nor slackening his horse's pace. * "Lancers of the 6th Regiment." The black figure of a sentinel stood on the bridge. "Mot d'ordre." * * "Password." Dolokhov reined in his horse and advanced at a walk. "Dites donc, le colonel Gerard est ici?" * he asked. * "Tell me, is Colonel Gerard here?"

Meantime, the Indians were engaged with the harpoon line, now hauling in on it, now slackening it out, a ruddy hue mixing with the current showing that the life-blood of the manatee was fast ebbing away. In a short time the struggles of the huge river monster ceased, and the Indians paddling towards the bank, towed it after them. I was all the while looking out for the jaguar.

She had missed him sharply; yet at the same time she had been conscious of a sort of relief from strain, a slackening of the mental and moral muscles, which had been strangely welcome.

Every dollar must be guarded and plowed into the soil again." He broke off, feeling that he had done all that could reasonably be expected of him, and Agatha asked one question.

There is no object here in mentioning names, especially as the responsible political leaders themselves only heard the details of what had happened much later, and then in a very unsatisfactory way at a time when the pacifist tendencies of the Entente were slackening. It was impossible then to see clearly in such a labyrinth of confused and contradictory facts.

The train was slackening for a wayside station. Outside a man was driving a plough across a field where grain had been harvested. Nicholas followed with his eyes the walk of the horses, the purple-brown trail of the plough, the sturdy, independent figure of the driver as he passed, whistling an air.

It was in the very center of Paris, but instead of slackening his pace one of the occupants of the car drew a revolver, and, firing, killed the officer. A pursuit was organized, but the murderers escaped. Several other crimes were committed by the band in the next few days, but perhaps the most daring was that of March 25.

A white dove was hovering in the perspective of those blue squares. Rafael felt a slackening of his powers of endurance, as if an irresistible languor were stealing over him. The sweet smile of Nature peering at him through the transoms of that gloomy, parliamentary tomb had taken him back to his orange-orchards, and to his Valencian meadows covered with flowers.
