After a little while they melted out of sight, but until past midnight I sat my eyes alertly fixed on the tangled dark, while the low-hung stars paraded across the sky. The night, however, passed without event and morning came bathing the empty edge of the forest with crystal freshness. The scene I still had to myself.
As they were going round the Sukharev water tower Natasha, who was inquisitively and alertly scrutinizing the people driving or walking past, suddenly cried out in joyful surprise: "Dear me! Mamma, Sonya, look, it's he!" "Who? Who?" "Look!
There, riding down the driveway, they saw Mr. Evringham and Jewel starting off for their morning canter. "How dear they look, how dear!" exclaimed Julia. "Father is stunning, for a fact," remarked Harry, watching alertly.
He bent over the little boy alertly, grasped the wrist, and stopped the spurt of blood. The frightened child looked up into his face and stopped crying. "You should have telephoned for the doctor at once and not made all this fuss in the presence of a guest," scolded Gila as she came up the stairs.
The mutual though qualified respect which they felt for each other dated from their first meeting, when Mr. McKenzie had walked into the saloon and asked permission to tack up some bills advertising his revival services. "I guess you can," the proprietor had answered, standing alertly on his guard. The bills had been posted, and the unwonted visitor turned to the man behind the bar.
Shere noticed that she had but lately come in, for she still wore her hat, and her gloves lay crossed on the table in the light of the lamp; she moved restlessly about the room, stopping now and then to give an ear to any chance noise in the courtyard, and to glance alertly at the door; so that Shere understood that she was expecting another visitor, and that he himself was in the way.
"There, sir," said I. "I am betting twenty-two dollars in all, which is my limit to-night, on the same right-end card as I stand." I thought that I had him. Forthwith he straightened alertly, spoke tartly. "The game is closed, gentlemen. Remember, you are wagering on the first turn. There are no splits in monte. Not at this table. Our friend says the right-end card.
"You can wager he won't," added Captain Jack, clenching his fists and watching the other alertly. "Let him speak to me, if he wants." Trotter thereupon halted, though he watched the Frenchman with lynx-like wakefulness. Lemaire, however, merely leaned forward until he had placed his lips close to one of the young submarine captain's ears.
He was a young bear with a shiny new coat of summer fur. He had just had a bath in the stream where ice water gushed from beneath a snowbank. The marmot gave a second whistle, carrying less fear. Apparently the slow-moving, sleepy bear meant no harm. For half an hour the marmot watched alertly, then slid down beneath the bowlders and started eating.
I think I recognize my wife in that kindly act," he said, with a sudden bitterness. Then he looked curiously at his daughter. "Why did you want to come away?" "I was unhappy. For a long time I had been thinking over this. I hated it all the people we met, the hotels we stayed at, the life altogether. Then at Chamonix I went up a mountain." "Oho," said her father, sitting up alertly.
