It's fight, you " "Oh, all right! You are so emphatic," Jack answered. His voice was still pleasant, but shot with something metallic. The very shadow of him seemed to stiffen with the stiffening of his muscles. "Ready!" called Bill Lang. The ruling passion that had carved six notches on his gun-handle overwhelmed Pete Leddy.
To begin with I had caught cold in a barked heel, causing the cords of the leg to swell and stiffen.
The man in the chair beat with the tips of his fingers upon the table by his side. He spoke in a dull, unemotional tone. "Perhaps not, but while you robbed he slept. I was as gentle as you and quieter, but in the midst of it he woke up, and I found his eyes wide open, watching me. I saw his fingers stiffen in a moment he would have been upon me so I struck him down.
"I've no relations," said Miss Abbot. She was quiet now and calm, and hopeless. "And if I had I couldn't be a burden on them. Nobody wants a penniless, half-blind woman. I've had to use up all my savings this winter ...it will just have to be the workhouse." "But it shan't be," said Jean. "What's the use of me if I'm not to help? No. Don't stiffen and look at me like that.

All your muscles are, up to this point, alert but tensed only to the extent necessary to draw the shaft. At the exact moment of release, however, they stiffen to the utmost. It is like a little spurt of energy released to speed the arrow on its way. That, I think, is what Dr. Pope means when he says one should "put his heart in the bow."
If we tell them now they'll have a couple of hours in which to stiffen their courage. There are eleven girls besides you two. Suppose you call them here in three lots in succession, four, four, and three, and we'll tell them quietly what has occurred and give them a little lecture as to how they should meet this crisis." "All right," said Marion, rising.
Dick was to fire first if he saw anything to shoot at! It might be a powerful machine, clamped to the outer surface, instead of a being that could be injured. The glass globes of the masks were clouding with moisture, and it was hard to see. A thud came, that didn't vibrate quite as much, and the men could feel the hair on their necks stiffen.
"You're wanted to-night in the Calle de Pescadores," he whispered, as she rested her hand on his shoulder to jump down. "As soon as possible, and go in carefully there's a scare about spies." He felt her body stiffen and the little smile that came so rarely died in an instant, leaving her once more "Fatalité." She nodded by way of assent and bent down to gather up her habit.
But this new and unexpected disaster, following so close upon the fear which had recently overpowered them, produced a second panic, the effect of which was not to stiffen them in their tracks as before, but to send them scurrying in every direction in search of hiding places. A Curious Effect.
