The structure loomed through the gloom as it was dimly lighted by the lanterns, and all walked rapidly forward until they stood upon the rough planking. Suddenly the mother uttered a cry, and stooping down snatched up something from the ground close to the planks. The startled friends looked affrightedly toward her, and saw that she held the lunch basket of her little daughter in her hand.
This was what darted through Caroline's mind, even while she spoke. But the next moment Miss Ethel moaned a little and began to sit up, looking round her affrightedly at the half-built walls in the mist. "What's the matter? What's the matter? I'm on the wrong side of the hedge." Then she remembered and began to shiver violently from head to foot. "I know. I came to see if the men were working.
The Lords of Destiny had found him indeed untractable as the great Emperor, the world-figure, and, for his proudness of spirit, had decreed that he should affrightedly tread the earth again as Bunker Bean. Everything pointed to it. Even the golden bees of Napoleon! Were there not three B's in his own name? The shameful truth is that he had been christened "Bunker Bunker Bean."
No, I don't think I'll come," says Julia, casting an uneasy glance behind her; the recesses of the room are but dimly lit, and appear ghostlike, highly suggestive of things uncanny from where she sits.

He was furious; his friends began to chatter, and he cried that word again! I would know it a thousand years hence. I saw it all in a flash.

She was staring affrightedly at Vittoria. "God help me!"

I promised." "He told that lie to my girl. He gave her to that hound," said the trader, but Burrell shoved him through the door. "No! I can't do that."
He reeled back, and I made a wild clutch for the damnable tube, horrid, unreasoning fear of which thus far had held me inert. I heard the girl scream affrightedly, and I knew, and felt my heart chill to know, that the tube had been wrenched from my hand! Hassan of Aleppo, old man that he appeared, had the strength of a tiger.
In the growing light Naida looked about her affrightedly. Then, throwing her arms impulsively around Brinn, she kissed him a caress that was passionate but sexless; rather the kiss of a mother who parts with a beloved son than that which a woman bestows upon the man she loves; an act of renunciation.
"Oh, papa, I see a horse!" was the startling exclamation of Dot, whom her mother had supposed, because of her stillness and immobility, to be asleep. "Where?" demanded her father, grasping his Winchester and looking affrightedly around. "Not there," replied the child with a laugh, working her arm out of its environments, and pointing ahead.
And slipping from my grasp, she crossed the hall and laid her hand upon the drawing-room curtain, when it was suddenly lifted from within and Mary stepped out. "Mary!" "Eleanore!" The ring of those voices told everything. I did not need to glance their way to know that Eleanore had fallen at her cousin's feet, and that her cousin had affrightedly lifted her.
