Again, in Tishri, at the time of the autumnal equinox, the great bird ziz flaps his wings and utters his cry, so that the birds of prey, the eagles and the vultures, blench, and they fear to swoop down upon the others and annihilate them in their greed. And, again, were it not for the goodness of God, the vast number of big fish had quickly put an end to the little ones.
"Well!" exclaimed the King, with his eyes rolling and his cheeks puffed out; and then, loosening his fierce grip upon the boy's shoulder, he staggered back to the nearest chair, dropped into it, and laughed. The next minute the mirth died out of his half closed eyes, and a scowl appeared upon his brow, as he fiercely gazed in the eyes that did not for a moment blench.
What mean these downcast looks that embarrassed carriage that cap plucked down o'er thine eyes? In God's name, man, speak! Fear not for me I can bear worse than tongue of man may tell. Thou hast seen me in the wars of Palestine, when my brave followers fell, man by man, around me, and when I was left well-nigh alone and did I blench then?
Sir Francis stopped short and looked at him sternly without speaking, making the boy blench. Then he turned away without a word, and followed by Mr Solomon bearing a lighted candle, which hardly flickered in the still autumn evening, he went on down the garden. "Haw haw haw!" laughed Ike as soon as we were alone. "You're a pair o' nice uns you are! But you're ketched this time," he added.
No true man need blush that he has loved such a woman: and you are both true men, if a trifle obstinate justi et tenaces propositi. Men of your character, Flaccus tells us, do not blench at the thunderbolts of Jove himself; and truly, I can well imagine his missile fizzing harmlessly into your party hedge, unable to decide between the pavilion of Captain John and the pavilion of Captain Jeremy.
There is no one in whom I have been more disappointed than in the writer here spoken of, nor with whom I am more disposed on certain points to quarrel; but the love of truth and justice which obliges me to do this, will not suffer me to blench his merits. Do what he can, he cannot help being an original-minded man. His poetry is not servile.
The man in the doorway was tall and lean, and the prison blench upon his face was in unpleasant contrast to the ruddy tan of the faces about the table. His sombrero was tipped back and the hair hung dank about the pale, sweating forehead, suggestive of sickness.
When it came to closing time, "Your woman is not in," said one of the soldiers; and he looked at the girl. "Woman?" said Eubank, with meaning; "I have seen no woman." "She was here at midday," the man answered, without suspicion. Perhaps the girl had been expecting it, for she did not blench, though Eubank's eyes were on her face.
After a pause hesitatingly: "and there be other reasons and weightier." "Other ones? What are they?" "Well, they say oh, but I daren't, indeed daren't!" "Why, poor lad, what is the matter? Why do you blench? Why do you tremble so?" "Oh, in sooth, there is need! I do want to tell you, but " "Come, come, be brave, be a man speak out, there's a good lad!"
Well might those criminals blench, for Joan's appeal of her case to the Pope stripped Cauchon at once of jurisdiction over it, and annulled all that he and his judges had already done in the matter and all that they should do in it henceforth.
