Rossiter nor Clare made any allusion to the quarrel but it had nevertheless, Peter felt, made reconciliation all the more difficult. Mrs. Rossiter now seemed to imply in her additional kindnesses to Cardillac that she felt for him deeply and was sorry that he, too, should have been made to suffer under Peter's bear-like nature.
They may strive to avert the day, but they grapple with the tub at last. When Thea entered the gate, her professor leaned his spade against the white post that supported the turreted dove-house, and wiped his face with his shirt-sleeve; someway he never managed to have a handkerchief about him. Wunsch was short and stocky, with something rough and bear-like about his shoulders.
Lifting him from his feet, he carried him into the middle of the chamber, and setting him down, but still encircling him with that bear-like embrace, he stamped thrice upon the stone floor, which gave out a hollow sound beneath his feet. The next moment there was a sound of strange creaking and groaning, as though some ponderous machinery were being set in motion.
Sad has been the fate of many an individual unfortunately falling into the clutches of these murderous villains. A stealthy step, an arm thrown under the chin of the unsuspecting victim, a bear-like clasp, and total unconsciousness.
Are ye glad to see me, boys, now you know that I'm real?" There was no doubt about that. When at last the little sister condescended to step down from her perch, she was passed from one to another in a series of bear-like hugs, from which she emerged flushed and complacent, to step briskly towards Sylvia and kiss her effusively upon the cheek. "How d'ye do, me dear, and how's your illness?
Fearless Frank stood aside, apparently offering no objections to the hugging, and the Indians did likewise. At least Miss Terry made no serious attempts to free herself from the "General's" bear-like embrace. A few bounds brought Redburn to the spot, panting, breathless, perspiring. "What is the meaning of this disgraceful scene?" he demanded, angrily. "Disgraceful!"
Having reconnoitred the night to her satisfaction, the raccoon returned to a deep hole in the sycamore, and hastily touched with her pointed nose each in turn of her five, blind, furry little ones. Very little they were, half-cub, half-kitten in appearance, with their long noses, long tails, and bear-like feet.
With a sound like a growl and a yell such as he had given when he sprang at Montacute's throat Tom dashed out from the thicket, and seized Bully Bullen in a bear-like clasp.
They don't make 'em as bad as him any more. He busted the mould." George turned, and spying the new-comer, approached, eyeing him with critical disfavour. Captain saw a bear-like figure, clad cap-a-pie in native fashion.
Probably he could stretch the tape to twenty-three inches, of which about sixteen consisted of very long, low body, with sturdy, bear-like, dumpy legs, the rest being rather thick, furry tail; and, though nobody without steel armor might have cared to take on the job of weighing him alive, he would have turned the scale at about two pounds eight ounces, or perhaps a bit more.
