That he had watched the times for a time of action, and that they had shifted and struggled until the time had gone by, and the nobility were trooping from France by every highway and byway, and their property was in course of confiscation and destruction, and their very names were blotting out, was as well known to himself as it could be to any new authority in France that might impeach him for it.
The big black was real, alive, quivering, pounding the sand. He scented an enemy. Once more Slone peered down into the void or what seemed a void. But it, too, had changed, lightened. The whole valley was brightening. Great palls of curling smoke rose white and yellow, to turn back as the monuments met their crests, and then to roll upward, blotting out the stars.
"But what is there to wait for?" he demanded. "I must see my lawyers first," she answered slowly, "and before I leave London I must pay some bills." The Count drew a cheque book from his pocket. "I will keep my word," he said. "I will pay you on account the amount we spoke of." The Princess opened her escritoire briskly. "There is a pen and ink there," she said, "and blotting paper.
Then in convulsion he writhed, to heave on his back, and stretch out a ghastly spectacle. Ellen backed away from it, her white arms wide, a slow horror blotting out the passion of her face. Then from without came a shrill call and the sound of rapid footsteps. Ellen leaned against the wall, staring still at Colter. "Hey, Jim what's the shootin'?" called Springer, breathlessly.
"It is well," said the other; "we will go forth; thou speakest with justice, as brother to brother, and whatever befall thy companions, this shall be counted in thy favour if I have a tongue to speak."

The sun in its turn had been effaced by a big cloud with scalloped edges which had overspread the distant line of the river, blotting out the flashes of silver laughter, and so frightening the little waves that they scurried off to the banks, some even trying to climb up the stone coping out of the way of the rising wind.
"You double a page in half, and write your name inside exactly on the crease of the paper; then you fold the two halves together again without blotting it and press hard. It smudges your signature into such a queer shape. Everybody's comes out differently. One looks like a caterpillar, and another like a butterfly, or perhaps a fish's backbone. Ella Johnson's was the exact image of an oak tree."
She knew, but she wanted to see if he would tell a story which showed so plainly his own ruthlessness. He hesitated, but only for a moment. "There was a man named Havens.

Before Radmore's eyes blotting out the noble, peaceful landscape, rich in storied beauty there rose an extraordinarily vivid phantasmagoria of vast masses of armed men in field grey moving across that wide, thickly peopled valley of lovely villages and cosy little towns.
If your room has a long wall space, furnish it with a large cabinet or console, or a sofa and two chairs. Avoid blotting out your architect's cleverest points by thoughtlessly misplacing hangings. Whoever decorates should always keep the architect's intention in mind. Avoid having an antique clock which does not go, and is used merely as an ornament.
