Bill, having met the world squarely and shown it what was what, stood where he was, whistling nonchalantly. Henry removed his finger from his mouth. "Lend me the loan of that stick of yours, Erb," he said tensely. Erb silently yielded up the stout stick which was his inseparable companion. Henry, a vastly different man from the genial saunterer of a moment ago, poked wildly through the railings.
"Now that matters have turned out as they have," the man spoke deliberately, but tensely, "I sha'n't see you again. Now that I'm a bankrupt and it's all over, Marcia, I want you to know that I love you that I love you without doubt or hesitation. In this world and whatever other worlds there are, there is only you ... you whom I lost because the coward must lose every good thing life holds."
She saw him complete his task and wipe his brown moist face and stride toward her, coming nearer, tall and erect with something added to his soldierly bearing, with a light in his eyes she could no longer bear. The moment for which she had waited more than two months had come at last. "Glenn when will you go back East?" she asked, tensely and low.
It's my first kiss I've got against you. It's that Nina Micheltoreña that I can't forgive. So now you can git git!" And with these words she unbolted the door and concluded tensely: "If they kill you I don't care. Do you hear, I don't care . . ." At those bitter words spoken by lips which failed so utterly to hide their misery, the Girl's face became colourless.
The man at the window wheeled suddenly and his face was white, his brows were drawn down. "By God!" he cried, tensely. "He won't get it. Where's that option?" "I got it right here." Briskow handed over a paper. "An' I got the hull title abstrack, too. Had it all ready for Nelson."
The moments were agony, as I bent tensely forward, poised for a leap. God! I could wait no longer! Sanchez had turned slightly, apparently immersed in thought, and stood with his face toward the Bay. Even in that darkness his position was that of a man intently listening for the slightest sound to reach him out of the black night.
Smith, listening tensely to sounds from without, turned and spoke to Helen; and as the curtain fell they started quickly up the aisle. Their seats chanced to be open to the side aisle of the house, and a moment later Smith was handing his check to the cloakroom attendant, with a "Hurry up, please" and a lubricant to celerity.
Outside the office, the soldiers, led by the hermit and Woodward continued to batter at the door. "Now go down that stairway ahead of me," ordered Del Mar. Elaine obeyed tensely, and he followed into his emergency exit, closing the trap. "Beat harder, men," urged the hermit, as the soldiers battered at the door. They redoubled their efforts and the door bent and swayed.
Rastall-Retford, having taken the last trick, had gathered it up in the introspective manner of one planning big coups, and was brooding tensely, with knit brows. His mother was frowning over her cards. She was unobserved. She seized the opportunity.
The world must know." She stopped suddenly as if stunned by the thought that oppressed her. She seized Mary's hand, and asked tensely: "What do you think, dear? Has Virginia left the Union?" A quick answer was on the young lips. She had a very clear opinion. She had talked to Stuart. And his keen mind had seen the inevitable. She didn't have the heart to tell her mother.
