The Armour family preferred disgrace to his connection. Since the promise, besides, he had doubtless been busy "battering himself" back again into his affection for the girl; and the blow would not only take him in his vanity, but wound him at the heart. He relieved himself in verse; but for such a smarting affront manuscript poetry was insufficient to console him.
"There's no danger, none whatever," he said, soothingly. "Nothing can happen." "You don't know. The bridge has never been tried. The ice is battering at it, and that jam if it doesn't burst " "But it will. It can't last much longer." "It's rising " "To be sure, but the river will overflow the bank." "Please!" she urged. "You can do no good here. I'm afraid."
There was no reply, because the young man was hanging out over his window sill in the darkness trying to switch away, from her closed window below, the big, clattering Death’s Head moth which obstinately and persistently fluttered there. What possessed the moth to continue battering its wings at the window of the room below? Had the other moths which he released done so, too?
But if he had arrived on a certain night just a week or so before, he would have found me barricaded in a a great hall in town, with men shot to pieces and dying like flies all around me, and three hundred butchering rebels from the hills battering in the door." "Great guns!" exclaimed Winnie. "Fancy your living through that! What happened did your friends manage to beat them off?"
By that time the enemy's retreat had finished and the German army under General von Kluck was at last on the other side of the Aisne, in the strongholds of the hills at which the French and British guns were vainly battering at the beginning of a long and dreary siege against entrenched positions.
Blane's, and give ready succour should the enemy discover the retreat of the women and children. Early in the morning the whole of Roderic's forces landed, and now they stormed the castle gates with all their strength. So stoutly did they assail them with their powerful battering rams that in the space of an hour the doors fell in with a loud crash.
He does it so powerfully in the opening lines of Vesper adest ... that a man reads the first couplet of that Hymeneal, and immediately perceives the Apennines. The nameless translator of the Highland song does it, especially when he advances that battering line And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.
He only urges that Jarndyce may have become cynical in the affair in the same sense that he himself may have become cynical in the affair. He is always a man; that is to say, he is always unanswerable, always wrong. The passionate certainty of the woman beats itself like battering waves against the thin smooth wall of his insane consistency.
The walls were lightly built, and were incapable of withstanding any heavy battering.
No other section of the eastern United States has a similar coast, so serrated, indented, and rugged, as has this shore line of the Gulf of Maine. Here the battering by the forces of nature has resulted in making thousands of safe harbors and havens for the navigator.
