The girls gasped; but Dan and I were jubilant, snuffing battle afar off. "All right. I can fight as well as pray." "Oh, don't fight," implored Cecily. "I think it would be dreadful. Surely you can arrange it some other way. Let's all give up the Ordeal, anyway. There isn't much fun in it. And then neither of you need pray about it." "I don't want to give up the Ordeal," said Felix, "and I won't."
That night, in the mid-watch when the old man as his wont at intervals stepped forth from the scuttle in which he leaned, and went to his pivot-hole, he suddenly thrust out his face fiercely, snuffing up the sea air as a sagacious ship's dog will, in drawing nigh to some barbarous isle. He declared that a whale must be near.
The Rabbi had often yielded to Carmichael and his other boys in the ordinary affairs of life in meat and drink and clothing, even unto the continuance of his snuffing. He had been most manageable and pliable as a child in their hands and so Carmichael was quite confident that he could make matters right with the old man about a question of doctrine as easily as about the duty of a midday meal.
She made quite a little speech, in the course of which she now and then interrupted herself to remind Furst who, was as soft as a pudding before her of something he had forgotten to do, such as snuffing the candles or closing the door. "Just let me hear your scale, will you?" she said patronisingly to Mrs. Lautenschlager.
"Tisn't either," said Jasper, snuffing wisely; "oh! I know I forgot all about it I do beg your pardon." And running to the stove, he knelt down and drew out of the oven, a black, odorous mass, which with a crest-fallen air he brought to Polly. "I'm no end sorry I made such a mess of it," he said, "I meant it for you." "Tisn't any matter," said Polly kindly.
So he kept two for himself and gave three to the guest at his banquet. Again he blew a kiss to the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Snuffing his candle, he dropped to the ground and closed the door against all spying, uncivil eyes. The first grey of dawn was growing in the sombre east. He looked out over the tops of cars and sniffed the air. The rain was over. He knew.
The cattle took the little automatic shells in much the same spirit, but with an addition of wonder staring at them and snuffing with bovine astonishment. The Kaffir herdsmen first ran yelling in every direction, and then rushed back to dig the shell up, amid inextinguishable laughter. The Hindoo grass-cutter neither ran nor laughed, but awaited destiny with resignation.
I spared a minute to open the gate for it, but instead of going to the house door, it coursed up and down snuffing the grass, and would have escaped to the road, had I not seized it and conveyed it in with me. On ascending to Isabella's room, my suspicions were confirmed: it was empty. Had I been a few hours sooner Mrs. Linton's illness might have arrested her rash step.
He has very soft brown eyes, a healthy complexion and a nose the inverse of aquiline, for it curves upwards to its sharp point, as though perpetually snuffing after the pleasant fragrance of his favourite "Dubec otborny." "Well, my children," he said, with a slight stammer that somehow lent an additional kindliness to his tone, "what has the day's work been?
Not only were the effects of the drug plainly evident on her face, but it was apparent that the snuffing the powdered tablets was destroying the bones in her nose, through shrinkage of the blood vessels, as well as undermining the nervous system and causing the brain to totter. I was wondering whether Armstrong knew of any depot for the secret distribution of the drug.
