If the 6.50 down-train had been a flash of forked lightning transfixing him to the earth, he could scarcely have remained in a more trance-like state. He still leant against the railings, his right hand still continued pressing on his walking-stick, his weight on one foot, his other heel raised, his eyes wide open towards the blackness of the cutting.
The natives have many other games of which they are very fond, and which they play with great skill, including spear-throwing, transfixing an object with a dart, kona, an elaborate kind of draughts, and talu, which consists in hiding a small stone under one of five pieces of cloth, placed in front of the players.
The man and the big brown dog had disappeared; but presently his keen and sagacious eyes detected them both, lying motionless in a thicket of reeds. Having stared at them indignantly for a few moments, swimming slowly to and fro and transfixing them with first one eye and then the other, he ducked his head and began biting savagely at the leathern wrapping on his leg.
Lieutenant Colonel Strong, commandant of cadets, sat back in lower chair at the right of Captain Bates's desk. "Mr. Prescott," began Captain Bates, transfixing the yearling with his burning eyes, "you and Mr. Holmes were close to Battle Monument when the firecrackers were discharged there this evening. "Yes, sir," Dick admitted. "What do you know about the affair?"
Indeed, if he could, it would have availed him little in the circumstances; for his horse, as if in league with the disaffected, ran full tilt towards the solemn equipage of the Duke, which the projecting lance threatened to perforate from window to window, at the risk of transfixing as many in its passage as the celebrated thrust of Orlando, which, according to the Italian epic poet, broached as many Moors as a Frenchman spits frogs.
Lockwood's got something to say to you, I guess." And on the heels of this announcement Lockwood strode into the store, Josie clinging to his arm, Pete Willing a trifle more sanely drunk than he had been some hours previous bringing up the rear. "So!" snarled Blinky, halting and transfixing Nat with the stare of his cold blue eyes. "So we've found you, eh?" "Oh? I didn't know I was lost."
"To, sir, become, sir, a sir, Naval, sir, officer. Sir." "Very good, mister. Mister," to Dalzell, "why did you come here?" "For sir, the same pur " "Sir, sir, sir, sir!" interrupted the quizzer. "Now, try again, mister." "For, sir, the, sir, same, sir, purpose, sir." "Now, mister," continued the quizzing visitor, transfixing Dalzell with a look of tremendous sternness, "can you talk French?"
The rhinoceros fights with the elephant, and transfixing him with his horn carries him off upon his head, but becoming blinded with the blood of his enemy, he falls helpless to the ground, and then comes the roc, and clutches them both up in his talons and takes them to feed his young. This doubtless astonishes you, but if you do not believe my tale go to Rohat and see for yourself.
Rocksworth forgot his dignity. "Hate 'em?" he cried, his eyes rolling. "I just love 'em!" "Orson!" said his wife, transfixing him with a glare. "What will people think of you?" "I like 'em too," admitted Mr. Riley-Werkheimer, perceiving at once whom she meant by "people." He puffed out his chest.
The mere transfixing of the eel did not always mean his securing, but another of us must put a lance in the contorting curves and with quick and dexterous motion lift him to the bank where his struggles might be ended with knife or rock. The release of him for a second might permit him to wriggle to the river and escape. With the finding of the first eel, began an hour's search for his fellows.
