This same, tremendous tidal wave, driven up by the strong wind that had blown steadily and viciously out of the north for three days, or perhaps created by some vast internal convulsion of the earth, completely inundated the low-lying point of land known as Cape Sunrise, At least two miles of the island was temporarily under water.
Once, when the post-office clerk emerged from the drug-store, Tessie pulled her hat down until the pin at back tugged viciously in her coil of black hair. That clerk might recognize her, and her folks surely called for mail occasionally. But the clerk never raised his head, as Gyp sauntered along, and it was a relief to make sure that her new and different outfit was a complete disguise.
"Some one presently will solve that," I said. "Some one will perhaps." I was silent. "Some one will," she said, almost viciously. "And then we'll have to stop these walks and talks of ours, dear Master.... I'll be sorry to give them up." "It's part of the requirements of the situation," I said, "that he should be oh, very interesting!
"He comes of a family below par, and he shows it," he said, viciously, to Maria. He scowled again at Edwin's neck, which was awkwardly long above his collar, but the boy did not see it. He sat on the opposite side of the car a seat in advance.
Leith picked himself up, gripped a loose backstay with his left hand and swung himself toward me, striking out viciously with his free right hand when he came within hitting distance. The blow landed on my shoulder, and I returned the compliment with an uppercut that jerked him from his swing rope and sent him stumbling backward against the rail.
Dogs, of which her husband was so fond, she detested; the shrewd beasts returned her aversion, so dame Doris found it more difficult than usual to succeed in reducing her disobedient pets to silence when they flew viciously at the stranger.
But Solon interrupted soothingly. "There, there, something must be done, and, of course, I'll do it." "What will you do?" Even then I think he did not know. "We must use common sense in these matters," he said, to gain time, and narrowed his gaze for an interval of study. At last he drove the pen viciously to its hilt in the rutabaga, and almost shouted: "I'll go to see Mrs. Potts!"
"Don't you go to callin' names that nobody but the Almighty has any right to fasten on to folks." "Let me go!" Jerome wriggled under the man's detaining grasp, as wirily instinct with nerves as a cat; he kicked out viciously at his shins. "Lord! I'd as lief try to hold a catamount," cried Jake Noyes, laughing, and released him, and Jerome raced out of the yard. It was then about two o'clock.
Cicely asked, one day, as she met Theodora stalking up the stairs after dismissing a caller. "Another reporter. I wish they would let law-abiding citizens alone, and use up their energy on tramps," Theodora said viciously. "Such a morning as I have had! My marketing took twice as long as usual; my typewriter has broken a spring, and now this man has wasted a good half-hour of my time.
Lucy broke a daffodil stalk viciously. "Go and talk to the others," she said. "I haven't time for you." The tears were hot in his eyes and anger was in his heart anger bred of the rain, of the noise, of the confusion. "You are howwid," he said slowly. "Well, go away, then, if I'm horrid," she pushed with her hand at his knee. "I didn't ask you to come here."
