He began to pull about the broken rails and thorns, but saw her when he looked up. "They have left you behind, Miss Osborn," he remarked with a smile. "I think I had enough; besides, I hurt my foot." "Badly?" "No," said Grace. "I have only begun to feel it hurt, but I wish it wasn't quite so far to the bridge." Askew looked at the water, measuring its height. "The stepping stones are not far off.
Blanche Devine, flushed and excited, her hair slightly askew, her diamond eardrops flashing, directed the moving, wrapped in her great fur coat; but on the third morning we gasped when she appeared out-of-doors, carrying a little household ladder, a pail of steaming water and sundry voluminous white cloths.
They must have felt that they had been completely defeated, and, either in revenge or in the hopes of making some terms with Captain Askew, had carried off Margery. Still, Charley could not believe, that, savage and lawless as they might be, they would wish to injure the innocent little girl, and was nearly sure that he was on the right track to recover her.
Henry smiled; but the look which he cast on the kneeling girl made Catharine tremble. There was a death-warrant in that look! "Anne Askew, if I mistake not, is your second maid of honor?" asked the king; "and it was at your express wish that she received that place?" "Yes sire." "You knew her, then?" "No, sire!

The next morning Ludwell Cary rose early, ordered his horse, and opened the door of his brother's room. "Fair," he said, as the younger Cary sat up in bed, with a nightcap wonderfully askew upon his handsome head, "I am off for Greenwood. Make my excuses, will you, to Colonel Churchill and the ladies? I will not be back till supper-time." He turned to leave the room.

The sunlit green, and a match in progress, the ball has just snipped a stump askew, my ancient, leaning on a stout cabbage stick, and with the light overcoat that is sacred to umpires upon his arm. "Out, Billy Durgan," says he, and adds, ex cathedrâ, "and one you ought to ha' hit for four."
A big bronzed man in a jersey and sea-boots, wearing the monkey-jacket of a Lieutenant of the Reserve and a uniform cap slightly askew, came forward, one enormous hand outstretched in greeting. "Pleased to meet you, sir," he said. "My name's Gedge." Sir William shook hands and winced. "I've heard of you," he said, "and I was anxious to meet you. What d'you think of that toy?"
Then the bird stood still while seeming to reflect, with wise head askew after the manner of other thinkers. Hurrying, to its playthings which happened to be at the far end of the veranda it selected a matchbox, dragged it clatteringly along, ranged it precisely close to the plate, mounted it, and from the extra elevation sipped the last drop with a chuckle of content.
You'd be the first to come and ask me to chuck him out." He spoke low, for he heard the neighbors talking in the next garden. "Fat lot you think of me!" she cried. "It's you I am thinking of."
