His visions of wealth and power and fame were whisking off in a gale of terror. A new quotation was coming from under the wheel Great Lakes one hundred and fifteen.

And Nutter could never have found it out who was to tell him, unless that ojus French damon, that's never done talkin' about it; and O'Flaherty strode heavily up and down the room with his hands in his breeches' pockets, muttering savage invectives, pitching his head from side to side, and whisking round at the turns in a way to show how strongly he was wrought upon.

The ghostly tread, the little whisking skip, the half-simper, the deferential bend that had in it at the same time something of insolence, all were there; the very "Yes, miss," and "Very good, sir," rose automatically and correctly to his untrained lips. Cinderella rising resplendent from her ash-strewn hearth was not more completely transformed than Heiny in his role of Henri.

Miss Toland said, trying to keep the acute distress she felt out of her tone. "I feel so nauseated!" Julia complained. "So uncertain!" "Yes, I know," the nurse said soothingly, whisking out of the room. Miss Toland followed her into the hall. "She's in great pain, she won't have much of this?" asked the older woman anxiously.

This ballet-dancer's pirouette, whisking her skirts, by which she had overthrown Hulot, now fascinated Steinbock. "Your vengeance is secure," said Valerie to Lisbeth in a whisper. "Hortense will cry out all her tears, and curse the day when she robbed you of Wenceslas."

He took up a mop as he spoke, whisking up the bits of seaweed and fish-scales which covered the bottom of the boat. "Thank you," said Michael; "I won't ask you to stop, for I must go and turn in and get some sleep. Father does not seem very well, and I shall have more work in the evening." "What is the matter with Uncle Paul?" asked Eban.

Martha, I'll tell the Deemster myself that dinner is on the table. Well, good-night, Peter. I'm always so glad to see you." She was whisking about to go upstairs, but Pete had taken one step into the dining-room, and was gazing round with looks of awe.

He now made a quick movement and so did I. Whisking round, in an instant I had his wrist in that kind of grip that dislocates the elbow-joint, and, as I turned, I planted my foot heavily on Spotty Bamber's chest. The swift movement took them all by surprise. The Jew screamed and dropped his knife, staggering heavily against the cellar door, which swung back on its well-oiled hinges.

He looked such a dreadful little fright that I only laughed at him.... I should have laughed at him all my life. But it would perhaps have been better than this dependence on Tanty, with her sudden whims and scampers and whisking of us away into the wilderness. Then I should have had my own way always. Now it's too late.
