A voice whispered tremulously through the wall, "Are you asleep?" "No! What is it?" he answered briskly, and there was an abrupt movement outside, and then all was still, as if the whisperer had been startled. Extremely annoyed at this, Jim came out impetuously, and Cornelius with a faint shriek fled along the verandah as far as the steps, where he hung on to the broken banister.
The crupper should never be dispensed with in a mountainous country, but it must be soft, round, and about an inch in diameter where it comes in contact with the tail, otherwise it will wound the animal in making long and abrupt descents. In Norway they use a short round stick, about ten inches long, which passes under the tail, and from each end of this a cord connects with the saddle.
For a moment he stood scowling; insolent, almost threatening, and then, once more, the servant opened the door and noiselessly closed it behind him. The transition had been so abrupt, the revelation so unexpected, that the men laughed. "I don't blame him!" said young Irving. "I couldn't find a single fact in the whole story. How'd your people get it pretty straight?"
The young man pondered, then drew a chair up to, Mrs. Hale's escritoire, and, with an abrupt "excuse me," helped himself to pen, ink and paper. "There!" he said, after five minutes' work. "That'll do for a starter. You see," he added, handing the product of his toil to Mrs. Hale, "this street happens to be the regular cross-town route for the milk that comes over by one of the minor ferries.

Sometimes there comes an abrupt and painful pause, as though somebody walking absent-mindedly along the road found themselves brought up by a yawning cleft.... This cinematograph of feminine thought, stubborn yet disconnected, is to my mind the principal literary merit of the book; more so even than its strength and brevity of style.
I have a hansom waiting, and your luggage is on." Brott answered nothing. Lucille held out her hands to him. "Yes or no?" he asked her in a low hoarse tone. "You must give me time! I don't want to lose you. He caught up his coat. "Coming, Grahame," he said firmly. "Countess, I must beg your pardon ten thousand times for this abrupt departure. My servants will call your carriage."
If such occurred under nature, they would be liable, as formerly explained, to be lost by accidental causes of destruction and by subsequent intercrossing; and so it is known to be under domestication, unless abrupt variations of this kind are specially preserved and separated by the care of man.

As they talked the stranger unbuckled his knapsack, and set it down on the horse block. "Where are you from?" asked Sparrow in a somewhat abrupt tone. "I'm from from well, from every place, from New York last." "Where are you headed for?" "Well, sir, to be honest with you, I suppose you might call me a tramp.
There was a charming harmony in the whole arrangement; nothing seemed abrupt, each effect blended gracefully with those surrounding it, like well-balanced colors in an oil painting. The King of Oude's palace, on the opposite side of the river, will well pay the traveler for a visit.
