He grew arrogant and boastful, and strutted in his power like a man in liquor with the vain knowledge that he could increase the population of a state or a group of states, or he could shrivel the prosperity of a section of the country by his whim. For by changing a freight rate he could make wheat grow, where grass had nourished. By changing the rate again, he could beckon back the wilderness.
When I have gained admission to her and I soon shall: it can't be refused: I am off to the head of her father's office to-morrow, and I have only to represent the state of affairs to the Minister in my language to obtain his authority to demand admission to her: then, friend, you will see! I lift my finger, and you will see! At my request she went back to her mother. I have but to beckon.
Hugh gave a peremptory whistle and the boy looked over his shoulder, then responded to the beckon by bringing his horse sharply round and cantering briskly across to the waratahs. "Something else, Miss Bibby, ma'am?" he said, whipping out his order book. "What do you mean by not delivering the note I gave you from the wagonette on Thursday?" said Hugh angrily.
And now, from the world and all its toys and revelry, he was parted once and for ever; and he stood alone in the desert, like the last Arab of a plague- stricken tribe, looking over the wreck of ancient cities, across barren sands, where far rivers gleamed in the distance, that seemed to beckon him away into other climes, other hopes, other duties.
But this last night I saw more. I know not if I slept or waked, but I heard a high and heavenly music; and then I saw Helen stand, but she stood not alone; she held by the hand a child, who smiled upon me; and the child was like herself; but I presently discerned that the child had a look of myself as well; and she loosed the child's hand from her own, and the child ran to me and kissed me; and Helen seemed to beckon me; and then I passed into sleep again.
In a moment Kate saw her, and began to beckon and call; and the maid ran to meet her. "Mistress Isabel, Mistress Isabel," she cried, "make haste." "What is it?" asked the girl, in sick foreboding. "There is a man come from Great Keynes," began the maid, but Kate stopped her. "Come in, Mistress Isabel," she said, "my father is waiting for you." Dr.
The blue eyes looked up under the blue hood, so archly and gayly; ever so many dimples began playing about her face; her little voice rang so fresh and sweet, that a heart which has never loved a tree or flower but the vegetable in question was sure to perish a heart worn down and sickened by repeated disappointment, mockery, faithlessness a heart whereof despair is an accustomed tenant, and in whose desolate and lonely depths dwells an abiding gloom, began to throb once more began to beckon Hope from the window began to admit sunshine began to O Folly, Folly!
Scotty went after it while Rick tied the tanks to the afterrail of the Water Witch, in position for filling. A yell from Scotty stopped him. He looked up and saw his friend beckon, and ran down the pier to the house. The scientists joined him and Scotty at the shed where the compressor had been stored. "We've been sabotaged again," Scotty told them flatly. "There's oil in the compressor!"
So Clive Hammond had arrived ahead of Tracey Miles! Had somehow entered the solarium unnoticed, and had managed to beckon his fiancée to join him there! Prearranged?... And why had Clive Hammond failed to enter and greet his hostess first? Moreover, how had he entered the solarium? But things were happening in the living room.
At last the bushes get so thick that we have to push our way through, and we suddenly see him a good distance ahead, half-way across a broad and shallow river which bubbles round his knees. "Hi!" we shout after him. "Stop!" And he turns, but only to beckon imperturbably and continue evenly on his way. It is evidently the custom of this country to walk through rivers when you meet them!
