And then, as though with preconcerted design, though she had heard no word spoken, the group divided, splitting asunder with a precision that deepened the conviction of preconcertedness, ranging themselves on each side of the open space, leaving it gaping barrenly, unobstructed a stretch of windrowed alkali dust, deep, light and feathery. Silence, like a stroke, fell over the town.
At the sight of the pistol the sordid mob drew back. If she had wished to proceed the path now lay clear and unobstructed before her. But now she had changed her mind. This nocturnal spectacle had put it into her head that here was some evil plot afoot against the Hétfalusy family. She must find out what it was, and if possible defeat it. So she repeated her question: "What are you doing here?"
When he again applied his ear to the lariat, he could understand that the fellow was working hard, and could only be a few feet below him. "There's nothing like being ready," he concluded, as he straightened up, and, rising to his feet, stood, pistol in hand, ready for the issue. He stepped back several feet, where his vision was entirely unobstructed.
Health is dependent upon an abundant supply of life force, upon the unobstructed, normal circulation of the vital fluids and upon perfect oxygenation and combustion. Anything that interferes with these essentials causes disease; anything that promotes them establishes health.

The course we were steering was about south-south-west, and the captain predicted we should come out into the ocean to the westward of the Straits of Le Maire, and somewhere near the Cape itself.
The enemy took immediate advantage of the time thus gained, to put up a work to control the main channel which passes by Morris Island, and which had previously been wholly unobstructed. They received the telegraphic notice on the 31st of December that a man-of-war would be sent, and the very next day the cadets of the Citadel Academy were hard at work at the new battery.
He was ready to defend man or beast, whenever unjustly attacked. He said that those impulsive words showed the inner nature of the man more truly than all his political speeches. Lamb's charity extended to all things. I never heard him speak spitefully of any author. He thought that every one should have a clear stage, unobstructed.
A tariff should be placed on nothing but articles of actual luxury things people can do without but all necessities of life should flow by natural channels, unobstructed.
