You said so few; but you said one that struck in deep straight home." "What was that?" "You said I was a gentleman." "So I believed then, when I first saw you. So I know now, after these three years and more." "You know it do you?" "Yes." "Yet I've never said anything to you about what I intend to give you for yourself, in your own right." Pain struck into Sally's eyes.
They were bound for Franchard, to collect plants, with an eye to the 'Comparative Pharmacopoeia. A little rattling on the open roads, and they came to the borders of the forest and struck into an unfrequented track; the noddy yawed softly over the sand, with an accompaniment of snapping twigs. There was a great, green, softly murmuring cloud of congregated foliage overhead.
As she had found the pearls she did not need to 'phone. The girl was at the door, with her hand on the key, before she realized how mad it would be not to make certain of her find. Yes, the pearls were really there, the darlings! She re-wrapped the parcel, and again was at the door when another thought struck her. Better make the bed look as it had looked before.
I'm a solitary like yourself. See here. You and I could set the world on fire if we joined hands. Do you know that?" The little man was struck dumb at his oars for very fear of the boldness of her advance. He recognized this for an original and fearsome, not to say delectable, vein of talk. She came on like the sea itself, impetuous and all-embracing. Unfathomed, too.
The Arab whom I had struck, observing that I was complaining, gave me the remainder of his broth, and told me that to-morrow we should eat the goat that had been killed for us.

Smith had trolled scarcely a quarter of a mile, when his hook was struck by a trout, and then commenced a struggle that was pleasant to witness.
I treated all hands, and sent some wine, also the $50 I had won, back to my Arkansas friend. He told the mate and some of the passengers that he had been in a great many fights, but that was the first time he was ever whipped. He said he "whipped himself when he hit my head; but when I gave him that butt, he thought he had been struck with a bar of iron."
"Come along, Gasparino, and tell us what we are to have. You must order everything. Where's the cameriere? Cameriere! Cameriere!" He struck on his glass with a fork. A waiter came running. "Don Gaspare will order for us all," said Maurice to him, pointing to Gaspare. His diplomacy was successful.
