Then the hoof-beats stopped, and she uttered a gasping cry, all her nameless terror for the moment renewed. A man jumped to the ground and, with a word to his animal, stooped over her. She shrank from him in unreasoning panic. "Who is it? Who is it?" she sobbed. He answered her instantly, rather curtly. "I Baring. What's the matter? Something gone wrong?"
"Until God declareth His pleasure," amended Bradford quietly. "Men, let us pray." And baring his head the governor poured forth a strong and manful petition to Him who rideth upon the wings of the wind and reigneth a King forever over His own creation.
Old Karay had turned his head and was angrily searching for fleas, baring his yellow teeth and snapping at his hind legs. "Ulyulyulyu!" whispered Rostov, pouting his lips. The borzois jumped up, jerking the rings of the leashes and pricking their ears. Karay finished scratching his hindquarters and, cocking his ears, got up with quivering tail from which tufts of matted hair hung down.
Here, again, by the rim of the fountain, with its fringe of green, she once had paused, and, baring her arm to the shoulder, had thrust it deep into the water, and then withdrawing it, had given it to him to kiss, all wet and cool; and here, at last, under the shadow of the pear trees they had sat, evening after evening, looking off over the little valley below them, watching the night build itself, dome-like, from horizon to zenith.
And I have Ronnie." "Ronnie!" said Baring; and for the first time he looked contemptuous. Hope sighed. "It's quite my own fault," she said humbly. "If I hadn't " "Pardon me!

"Oh, no!" she said.
Scraping aside the loose sand and rubble, and raising the unfastened lid of the rough coffin, the mouldering skeleton was unrecognisable. Quick as thought the woman thrust her fingers into the crumbling mass and raised an arm of the dead, on which was seen to be the half of a jade bracelet. Immediately baring her own arm to the hermit's gaze she displayed on it the other half of the same jewel.
Jerry, being very thirsty, stooped down to drink from it, and, baring his arm, intended to rest his hand at the bottom to support himself while he stooped over. Down he went on his knees, but he got more water than he had bargained for. Suddenly over head and heels he went, and was floundering about in the pool, which must have been nearly three feet deep.
"I wish now that poor Isobel Baring and the others had not left us," said Christobal sadly. Courtenay was about to say something, but checked himself. He was not blind to the aspect of affairs which Tollemache had summarized so pithily. It might yet be that those who remained had more to endure.
"I am just home on six months' leave." "And that's your real impression?" Baring enquired eagerly. "You really think that they mean to have a go at us?" "I think there'll be a war soon," Norgate confessed. "It probably won't commence at sea, but you'll have to do your little lot, without a doubt." Baring gazed across the room. There was a hard light in his eyes.
The countess fell on a chair as if she were dead. I was thunderstruck. I never in my life saw a man behave so beautifully as M. Jacques did at that moment. Instead of trying to escape, he opened his coat, and baring his breast, he said to the husband, 'Fire!
