The vessel from which we had fallen was already at a distance which seemed astonishing, and as I trod the water and looked about me, all the twinkling lights of the river craft and the shore looked alarmingly distant. I made for the nearest of them all, and swam, dreadfully embarrassed by my boots and soaked clothing.
"Oh! don't shoot!" she cried, becoming suddenly and alarmingly aware of the action "don't shoot! It's me! I I'm a girl not a beast!" To make quite sure that the man understood her, Branwen jumped to the ground quickly and stood before him. Recovering himself, the man lowered his bow and said something in a dialect so uncouth, that the poor girl did not understand him.
"Oh, very ill, sir; alarmingly ill, to my unpracticed eyes. She seemed thin and worn she could scarcely talk she had such a cough I hardly knew her." Again the doctor paused to consider. He was a very famous doctor, with many very famous patients, and I could see that this case piqued him that another physician should have been preferred! "Of course, Mr.
Some time afterwards the Queen told me that her secret envoy was returned from London, and that all he had been able to wring from Pitt, whom he found alarmingly reserved, was that he would not suffer the French monarchy to perish; that to suffer the revolutionary spirit to erect an organised republic in France would be a great error, affecting the tranquillity of Europe.
When little Fanny came into the schoolroom, I hoped she would be mild and inoffensive, at least; but a few days, if not a few hours, sufficed to destroy the illusion: I found her a mischievous, intractable little creature, given up to falsehood and deception, young as she was, and alarmingly fond of exercising her two favourite weapons of offence and defence: that of spitting in the faces of those who incurred her displeasure, and bellowing like a bull when her unreasonable desires were not gratified.
But Charon, who slept on the portico, leaped over the paling, ran around the bricks, and barked alarmingly. She unlocked the door, saw that no one was passing, and, opening the little gate, looked out. Charon stood watching a prostrate form, and she fearlessly crossed the street and bent over the body. One arm was crushed beneath him; the other thrown up over the face.
A chaplet of ivy-leaves encircled her head, and trailed upon one shoulder; her bracelets were heavy, chased gold without gems of any kind; a single diamond glittered a point of prismatic light at her throat. Her wedding-ring was her only other ornament. "Very sweet, I grant you, and very flavorless," returned Rosa. "And alarmingly apt to turn sour upon the stomach.
Among the younger men of the present generation the average is enormously high, though fortunately most cases are not so serious as yours. Quite alarmingly high, the average, to us doctors. "But after all, life is not entirely concerned with this one relation to the other sex. Those who find themselves cut off from domestic happiness in this particular are often most excellent officers.
A short distance back in the forest there came the crash of trampled undergrowth and, the next moment, a huge black bulk detached itself from the dark background and stood forth in the moonlight, alarmingly close. The Hermit caught his breath. It was without doubt the big moose, and that he was in no gentle mood was soon apparent.
"It doesn't make you seem quite so alarmingly innocent and remote for a widower to offer marriage to. Good, I say! I'm glad of it!" "Even so I don't want to," said the White Linen Nurse. "Thank you very much, sir! But even so, I don't want to." "Would you marry Joe now if he were suddenly free and wanted you?" asked the Senior Surgeon bluntly. "Oh, my Lord, no!" said the White Linen Nurse.
