It would rather be his tendency to grow silent and reserved with years, but his old boyish alertness would not decline, or his habit of shrewd, accurate observation. He thus would take few false steps, and would prove his force by deeds.
If the tusks were designed to be employed offensively, some alertness would naturally be exhibited in using them; but in numerous instances where sportsmen have fallen into the power of a wounded elephant, they have escaped through the failure of the enraged animal to strike them with its tusks, even when stretched upon the ground.
I listened for a few seconds, but there was no further sound in father's room. The night was unusually quiet. There wasn't a sound at first. Then I heard something. It was like somebody running, running very fast, outside, on the grass." She paused. Hastings was struck by her air of alertness, or of prepared waiting, of readiness for questions. "Which way did the footsteps go?" he asked.
Harley then rapidly told his friend of the two offers he had made to Leonard, and Leonard's choice. "This promises very well; for letters a man must have a strong vocation, as he should have for law. I will do all that you wish." Harley rose with alertness, shook Norreys cordially by the hand, hurried out of the room, and returned with Leonard. Mr. Norreys eyed the young man with attention.
Al, the pilot, sat at the controls with an air of special alertness. "You're all right? For our lined up trip, we ought to leave in about twenty minutes. We'll be pointing just about right then." "I'm all right," said Cochrane. "And you can take off when you please." To Jones he said: "How'd you find us? I didn't think it could be done." "Doctor Holden figured it out," said Jones.

Every now and then he would hand himself an inward congratulation on the alertness and clearness of his mind, and think what a fine constitution he must have.
But these are days for alertness of mind, and even the most distracting of women must be shut up in her cupboard and forgotten for a few hours every day." "I think I rather like that." "Of course you do. A woman always likes a strong lover. And you have plenty of revenge, if you did but know." "I know," she said; and as she raised her eyes and looked at him steadily, he believed her.
Elton looked all happiness at this proposition; and nothing could exceed his alertness and attention in conducting them into his house and endeavouring to make every thing appear to advantage.
I've been seeing, feeling, thinking. That makes no show, of course I'm aware, for any one but myself, and it's wholly my own affair. Except indeed," he added, "so far as I've taken into my head to make, on it all, this special appeal. There are things that have come home to me." "Oh I see, I see," Vanderbank showed the friendliest alertness.
I believed that I had succeeded in producing a tolerably good impression upon Mapela; moreover, it was to his interest that I should not be killed, for if I should chance to be slain he might bid goodbye to his hopes of obtaining a present from me: and I began to wonder whether "the Wise One" possessed enough mental acuteness and alertness to conceive the idea of quietly warning the warrior whom he might choose that there was no need for him to put up a real fight, and that every purpose would be served if the warrior, while feigning to use his best endeavours to kill me, should skilfully permit me to disarm him.
