The sky was turning darker and the heavy flakes of snow fell faster. John looked up apprehensively. Snow now troubled him more than guns. It was no welcome visitor in the trenches where it flooded some of them so badly as it melted that the men were compelled to move. As he walked along he was hailed by many friendly voices.
It was a cessation of all sound, a silence as ominously complete as that of a summer woodland when a hawk soars overhead. Even the small light deep in the bottom of the first lancha tied to the landing-ladder had been suddenly quenched. Blake, staring apprehensively out into the gloom, caught the sound of a soft and feverish throbbing.
The man at first apparently did not grasp what was required of him, but presently nodded understanding, withdrew and returned in a few minutes, accompanied by Riafio, who was carrying a pair of handcuffs and a coil of rope. "What are the handcuffs for?" asked Myra apprehensively. "They are for me, dear lady," explained Don Carlos, with a ghost of a smile. "It would not do to let Mr.
Audrey watched her apprehensively. She knew the signs, and that when they reached home a storm might break that would leave its mark upon her shoulders.

The girl herself was scarcely noticed.

I always save the middle picture when it is pretty, and pin it up on the wall." "That is one thing where the States are away ahead of us in their illustrated magazines." "Don't say 'the States! I've told you before.
"Wait and see," said Lancaster, as great captains do. And at that moment a first spot of rain fell. Honion looked up apprehensively at a clouding sky. "I thought so," said he; and the weighty words were passed from lip to lip. The multitude swelled as the Captain drew near the notice-boards. Rumour stalked abroad and loudly proclaimed that the lot had fallen upon Doe.
Then Ralph caught sight of her and exclaimed: "Here's Nan!" and her name ran through the group in a shocked murmur of repetition, followed by a quick, hushed silence. "What is it?" she asked apprehensively. Several voices answered, but only the words "Roger" and "accident" came to her clearly out of the blur of sound. "What is it?" she repeated. "What has happened?"
