"Dunno," said he; "an' when ye dunno whut t' dew, don' dew nuthin'. Jest stan' still; thet's whut I b'lieve in." He lighted the candle, and went about, pouring its glow upon every wall and into every crack and corner of our cell a small chamber set firm in masonry, with a ceiling so far above our heads we could see it but dimly, the candle lifted arm's-length.
I knew you'd like to have it on the parlor table." It was the "Iliad"! Mrs. Wiggs held it at arm's-length and, squinting her eyes, read: "Home of an Island." "That ain't what the man called it," said Lovey Mary. "Oh, it don't matter 'bout the name. It's a beautiful book, jes matches my new tidy. You couldn't 'a' pleased me better."
The least I can do is to yield you this one, if for that matter it is an advantage." M. de Barjols no longer insisted. He took one of the two pistols at random. Sir John offered the other to Roland, who took it, and, without even examining its mechanism, cocked the trigger, then let it fall at arm's-length at his side.
I remembered that his name was Thompson, and had an impression that his initials were H. O. "Are you little Hubert Thompson?" I suddenly demanded. "Why, of course I am all that's left of him!" he replied, with a laugh. So this was the boy whom, a quarter of a century before, I could have held out at arm's-length.
She threw an additional heartiness into her welcome, and kept him at arm's-length. She felt as if she had lost an old friend, and not gained a new one.

I have one now for Geoffrey Cliffe." Ashe laughed. "Oh, that won't last." "Then some other will come after it. And I can't help it. It is my head" she tapped her forehead lightly "that seems on fire." Ashe at last slipped his arm round her. "But it is your heart you will give me." She pushed him away from her and held him at arm's-length.
Whether he had drawn near to it, inch by inch, or whether it, seeing him about to make good his escape, had crept up on him, he could not say. He only knew that it was there, within arm's-length, waiting, tense, prepared, and somehow deadly in its animosity.
And you have come quite alone! you will give me an account of everything presently: You are here! in England! and what a welcome for you! You are cold. 'I am warmly clad, said Renee, suffering her hand to be drawn to his breast at her arm's-length, not bending with it.
Elder Brown held it out, upside down, at arm's-length. "Well, now, that's suthin' like. Will it soot a sorter redheaded 'ooman?" A perfectly sober man would have said the girl's corsets must have undergone a terrible strain, but the elder did not notice her dumb convulsion. She answered, heroically: "Perfectly, sir. It is an exquisite match." "I think you're whistlin' again.
I could not distinguish my hand at arm's-length from the track, nor my goad, at the same distance, from the meadows or the sky. Soon the road that I was following split, after the fashion of the country, into three or four in a piece of rocky meadow.
