Why, you must have been pretty well frightened on the island there. "Never so much frightened in my life, Don Ricardo; that English captain is a most tempestuous man but all has ended well; and after having seen you to the crossing, I will bid you good by." "Poo nonsense." "Come along here is the English Medico, your brother Esculapius; so, come along, you can return in the morning."
In the midst of the far faint sounds of the tempestuous night she had heard a footstep! Yet the church was utterly empty, she was sure. And again! A footstep dragging and uncertain, stealthy and cautious, but an unmistakable step, away in the blackest shadow at the end of the church.
The spirit of desperate resolve seemed to have reawakened within him at the sound of that long-hoped-for train and Pee-wee was no more to him than an insect to have his life trampled out if he could not be used or if his use were unavailing. Here, unmasked, was the man who had braved the tempestuous river on that dreadful night.
Time sped, I don't know how, except that we were in a kind of lethargy, taking no note of time and hanging fast to this our respite from the tempestuous past. Once she dreamily murmured, apropos of nothing, yet apropos of much: "We must be about the same age. I am not old, not really very old." "I am twenty-five," I answered. "So I thought," she mused.
"Searched every coffee shop in Whitechapel, sir." "Ah, you weren't lucky. I have been living three days on Hampstead Heath." "On Hampstead Heath? My godfather, I wish I'd known." They were driving through Regent's Park by this time, and the darkness of a tempestuous night enshrouded them.
During the term of Clara's walk with Laetitia, Sir Willoughby's shrunken self-esteem, like a garment hung to the fire after exposure to tempestuous weather, recovered some of the sleekness of its velvet pile in the society of Mrs. Mountstuart Jenkinson, who represented to him the world he feared and tried to keep sunny for himself by all the arts he could exercise.
The very anger in her voice was silvery, as it were, and more like the petulance of a seventeen-year-old beauty. “What nonsense! A Blunt doesn’t hire himself.” “Some princely families,” I said, “were founded by men who have done that very thing. The great Condottieri, you know.” It was in an almost tempestuous tone that she made me observe that we were not living in the fifteenth century.
Indeed, the ship was in good repair and fit for the sea; but as the whole number on board our squadron did not amount to the complement of a fourth-rate man-of-war, we found it was impossible to divide them into three ships without rendering them incapable of navigating in safety in the tempestuous weather we had reason to expect on the coast of China, where we supposed we should arrive about the time of the change of the monsoons.
Nevertheless, for two months past Andree, the baby, had been pining away, and the doctor had discovered, by analyzing the nurse's milk, that it was deficient in nutriment. Thus the child was simply perishing of starvation. To change a nurse is a terrible thing, and the Seguins' house was in a tempestuous state.
She had toned down, Cousin Francis told her, with evident approval. In spite of its tempestuous beginning, the year in the Terrace had in great measure resulted as her guardian hoped it would. Aunt Virginia's sweet refinement, Alexina's earnestness, Madelaine's grace, all these had had their influence; but most potent had been her admiration almost adoration for Miss Carpenter.
