"I never saw moisture on your brow, Tom, except when it rained or when you set too close to a fire." "What was it you wanted to call me and was scared to?" Mr. Linton urged, venomously. "A dam' what?" "Oh, I forget the precise epithet I had in mind. But a new one rises to my lips 'most every minute. I think I aimed to call you a dam' old fool. Something like that." Slowly, carefully, Mr.
The war ship closed rapidly upon her. She sought the protection of the guns of Fort Fisher, which opened venomously on the chaser. They did not stop her, though they were less than half a mile away.
Still clinging, Colonel Bishop looked round in hesitation, and saw the bulwarks lined with swarthy faces the faces of men that as lately as yesterday would have turned pale under his frown, faces that were now all wickedly agrin. For a moment rage stamped out his fear. He cursed them aloud venomously and incoherently, then loosed his hold and stepped out upon the plank.
"Is that all that you have to say to me?" cried Cahusac. "There are other things," said Blood over his shoulder. "But I know ye wouldn't like them." "Ha! Then it's adieu, my Captain."

He raised his hand to his eyes as if shading them from the sun, and brushed the tears away. "Well, look at those sons o' guns hike," he said, baring his teeth venomously, "and every band headed for Hidden Water! Go it, you tarriers and if you can't stop to eat the grass, tromple on it!
It must have been a pretty sight, the fierce industry of these beggars toiling on a motionless ship that floated quietly in the silence of a world asleep, fighting against time for the freeing of that boat, grovelling on all-fours, standing up in despair, tugging, pushing, snarling at each other venomously, ready to kill, ready to weep, and only kept from flying at each other's throats by the fear of death that stood silent behind them like an inflexible and cold-eyed taskmaster.
