"Did it arouse any suspicions in your mind, my boy?" Phil reflected for a moment, toying absently with his fork. "Candidly, it did, Mr. Sparling. It struck me as peculiar at the time, and, as I thought it over, I became more and more convinced that there was some reason for Jupiter's action beyond what we saw." The showman nodded, as if Phil's suggestion agreed with his own ideas.
Feeling at my ease, I set her free from her troublesome clothes, and gave myself up to toying with her in a manner calculated to arouse the exhausted senses; and then for the third time we were clasped to each other's arms, while I made Zenobia put herself into the many attitudes which I knew from experience as most propitious to the voluptuous triumph.
The bovine grasped the situation, lowered his head, kicked up his heels, emitted a triumphant bellow, shot forward like a baseball reaching for the stomach of an amateur shortstop, and struck the rear elevation of the head of our distinguished house with the solid impact of an hydraulic ram toying with a stone fence.
Weird, resonant tappings, moans, and gurgles come from a hollow log drifting, with infinite slowness. Broken sighs and gasps tell where the ripples advancing in echelon wander and lose their way among blocks of sandstone. As the tide rose it prattled and gurgled, toying with tinkling shells and clinking coral, each tone separate and distinct, however thin and faint.
He was toying with the idea of making a jaunt on his own account to Thibet, when a merciful Providence gave him something definite to think about. It was Saturday morning. I was shaving peacefully in my dressing-room when Jaffery, after thunderously demanding admittance, rushed in, clad in bath gown and slippers, flourishing a letter. "Read that." I recognised Liosha's handwriting.
John Muir, the eminent poet-naturalist of the Mountains of California, had a habit at the table of "crumming" his bread that is, toying with it, until it crumbled to pieces in his hand.
The porter fell to toying and kissing and biting and handling and groping and dallying and taking liberties with them: whilst one put a morsel into his mouth and another thumped him, and this one gave him a cuff and that pelted him with flowers; and he led the most delightful life with them, as if he sat in paradise among the houris.
"And did the scouts give that money of their own free will?" Jimmy asked. "Did you suggest it to them?" "No. I never thought about it until Rod came over this mornin' and put the notion into my head." For some time Jimmy sat toying with the pen he was holding in his hand. "Why don't ye write that letter?" his father demanded.
She sat now on the kitchen ledge, while Mata made the fire and washed the rice, toying idly with a white pebble chosen for its beauty from thousands on the garden path. Something in the childlike attitude, the placid, irresponsible face, brought the old servant's impatience to a climax. She deliberately hurled a dart.
"I'd hate to be one of them the way things stand now! The law, when it gets busy, has a pretty long arm." "I guess it has," she agreed, toying with the bracelet. "Anyone who has had any sort of dealings, been a friend or a confederate of either of those fellows, is in a desperately ugly position." She nodded. He leaned still further forward, his elbows on his knees, his glance riveted on her.
