His blood was tingling; there was elation upon him, coupled with an almost childlike dread that she might be gone. "The Tocsin! The Tocsin!" he kept saying to himself. Yes; she was still there, still whiningly imploring those who passed to buy her miserable pencils and then, with a quick-flung whisper to him to follow as he slouched up close to her, she had started slowly down the street.
The two patchwork sails on the lumbering Doraine flapped noisily for awhile, as if shaking off their tor-por, then suddenly grew taut and fat with prosperity. The twisted, half-jammed rudder, far from worthy despite the efforts of its repairers, whiningly obeyed the man at the wheel, and once more the ship felt the caress of the deep on her cleaving bows.
Samuel Johnson, although he was very sorry to be poor, "was a great arguer for the advantages of poverty" in his ill days. Thus it is that brave men carry their crosses, and smile with the fox burrowing in their vitals. But Villon, who had not the courage to be poor with honesty, now whiningly implores our sympathy, now shows his teeth upon the dung-heap with an ugly snarl.
He must needs have his morning punch just so, and complained whiningly of Scipio if some perchance were spilled on the glass. He must needs be taken abroad in a chair when it rained. And though in the course of a summer he was often at Carvel Hall he never tarried long, and came to see Mr. Carvel's guests rather than Mr. Carvel.
Tess had involuntarily drawn closer to it. She dully comprehended that Teola was ashamed of the rabbit-like body, struggling for a mere existence.

What had happened, Smoke could only guess, and as he came to McCan's fire he was prepared for a second cursing. Instead, he saw McCan himself industriously chewing a strip of caribou meat. "I'm not a fightin' man," he whiningly explained.
Fits obeyed, next remarking whiningly: "As you got the best of it, now I suppose you are ready to let me go." "I never let a thief go, if I can help it," Old Dut retorted, gripping one of the fellow's wrists. "We'll walk along together, my friend, until we reach the police station. And woe unto you if you start anything funny!" So it happened that, within five minutes, Mr.
Instead of offering one of the typical woods chanteys, he conceived that before so grand an audience he should give something fancy. He therefore struck into a sentimental song of the cheap music-hall type. There were nine verses, and he drawled through them all, hanging whiningly on the nasal notes in the fashion of the untrained singer.
With the wet back of one hand he tried to wipe it off his face, but the grit, when he rubbed it, hurt his skin, made tender by the rain. He swore long and whiningly, half aloud. His rifle felt as heavy as an iron girder. They entered a village of plaster-and-timber houses.

Come here, my dear!" But Fanny shrunk back, and would not let go Philip's hand.
