He had been five days in Siena without having found time to call on Doctor Lombard; not from any indifference to the opportunity presented, but because it was his first visit to the strange red city and he was still under the spell of its more conspicuous wonders the brick palaces flinging out their wrought-iron torch-holders with a gesture of arrogant suzerainty; the great council-chamber emblazoned with civic allegories; the pageant of Pope Julius on the Library walls; the Sodomas smiling balefully through the dusk of mouldering chapels and it was only when his first hunger was appeased that he remembered that one course in the banquet was still untasted.
Unanimous after the first vote! In his office, Gary Warden heard the shouting; saw the crowd, and listened to the cheers. He stood at one of the windows, balefully watching; sneering at the delegates who had returned, flushed with victory. Singleton, scowling, stood beside Warden. They saw half a dozen men draw apart from the others.
When the creature had received the report of the Sagoth its cold eyes glistened with malice and hatred as they were turned balefully upon me. I knew then that my identity had been guessed.
Twice, working warily with machetes, and holding their flame weapons ready, they chopped armored mummies from enwrapping tendrils, while little eye cells glinted at them balefully, and other tendrils bent slowly toward them. They searched out the space-fitness cards, which bore old dates, and addresses of next of kin. In a few more days, Nelsen was flying the 'copter.
For he saw Dorgan watching Randerson with a bitter sneer on his lips, his eyes glittering coldly and balefully! Evil intent was written largely here evil intent without apparent reason for it. For the man was a stranger here; Randerson had done nothing to Owen's knowledge to earn Dorgan's enmity; Randerson did not deliberately make enemies.
He regarded the paper almost balefully. "This is the deuce of a thing!" he said. "If she didn't care for him any more than that, what's all the fuss about? I don't believe the threat about sending his letters, anyway!" he added hardily. "Oh, that was true enough," Rachael said lifelessly. "They came." George gave her an alarmed glance, but did not speak.
In that event how do you figure you'd conduct yourself?" Joe smiled oddly, a little balefully. It was magic-quick, that change in his expression as swift as was the thought behind it. "I'd have my logs all cut and ready to haul as an excuse, wouldn't I?" he inquired with simulated anxiety.
Ajor, having less knowledge of the effectiveness of firearms than I, and therefore greater confidence in them, entreated me to shoot the beast; but I knew that the chance that I could stop it with a single shot was most remote, while that I should but infuriate it was real and present; and so I waited for what seemed an eternity, watching those devilish points of fire glaring balefully at us, and listening to the ever-increasing volume of those seismic growls which seemed to rumble upward from the bowels of the earth, shaking the very cliffs beneath which we cowered, until at last I saw that the brute was again approaching the aperture.
And Tasso's character was in the estimate; he hated washing; it balefully depraved his temper; and not only, creature of habit that he was, would he decline to lie down anywhere save in their bedroom, he would lament, plead, insist unremittingly, if excluded; terrifying every poor invalid of the house.
At this portentous time the awful Griffin rose, and balefully surveyed the children of Islam. My own impression was, that Church and State had entered into a conspiracy with Miss Griffin to expose us, and that we should all be put into white sheets, and exhibited in the centre aisle.
