Then, seeing he was unable to sleep, that insomnia kept his body in a state of irritation, he turned on his back, and with his eyes wide open, gave up his mind to the young woman. His equilibrium was upset, he again trembled with violent fever, as formerly. He had an idea of getting up, and returning to the Arcade of the Pont Neuf. He would have the iron gate opened, and Therese would receive him.

The doubt in Agatha's mind whether she should tell or no, had been terribly resolved by little Ann, who in a pause of conversation had announced: "We saw Auntie Babs and Mr. Courtier in Gustard's, but we didn't speak to them." Upset by the events of the afternoon, Lady Valleys had not shown her usual 'savoir faire'. She had told her husband.

He has shown me more devotion than many a relation would have done, and I expect to have his convictions respected." This rather upset me, but I answered, nevertheless: "Very well, uncle; and what did you do after breakfast?"

"No, no, no, no, no!" roared Aleck, each utterance being a part of a hearty laugh, for the gardener had knocked Tom over, Tom had upset him, and the blow he carried on to the midshipman had sent the latter rolling down the slope, to come raging up as soon as he could gain his feet and climb back.

I'll go and grovel to Gretton.

It was not often that Janetta lost patience, but a word against her father was sufficient to upset her self-command nowadays. She rested her head against the well-worn arm-chair where he used to sit, and kissed the back of it, and bedewed it with her tears. "Poor father! dear father!" she murmured.

I was so upset and excited that I said I'd be there, and she went away. "This Fred Birchill was a man I'd met in prison, and he was in the cell next to me.

Every other moment the whole of the inside of the boat was visible, as if it would take nothing to upset it; but that had one advantage, in that the water they shipped ran out again. It was evident that they meant to work their way out so far that they could make use of the high sea and scud down upon the wreck a desperate idea!
