By the time day dawned he was as if he never had been a memory, no more. Heaven knows where he was! Gulo appeared quite suddenly and very early, for him, next afternoon, beside some tangled brush on the edge of a clearing. He was sitting up, almost bolt-upright, and he was shading his eyes with his forepaws. A man could not have done more.

It is not strange that the native prefers to doze away the night bolt-upright, or crouched into the corners of his repellently padded carriage, rather than toss upon the expensive pallet of the sleeping-car, which seems hung rather with a view to affording involuntary exercise than promoting dear-bought slumber.

Monsieur Bruyere has given us the Character of an absent Man , with a great deal of Humour, which he has pushed to an agreeable Extravagance; with the Heads of it I shall conclude my present Paper. When he is dressed he goes to Court, comes into the Drawing-room, and walking bolt-upright under a Branch of Candlesticks his Wig is caught up by one of them, and hangs dangling in the Air.

This repeated assertion of cowardice on the part of the living Damascus blade that stood bolt-upright before her, struck Josephine as so funny that she laughed merrily, and bade him fancy it was only a fort he was attacking instead of the terrible Josephine; whom none but heroes feared, she assured him. This encouragement, uttered in jest, was taken in earnest.

Chalk by two spasmodic jerks of the head, sat bolt-upright on the edge of a chair and beamed brightly upon the horrified Chalk. "I've got news," he said, hoarsely. "News?" said the unfortunate Mr. Chalk, faintly. "Ah!" said Brisket, nodding. "News! I've got her at last." Mrs. Chalk started.

Then he pushed forward the leather easy-chair with gracious insinuation. Mrs. Field sat down, bolt-upright, on the extreme verge of it. The lawyer drew a chair to her side, seated himself, leaned forward until his face fronted hers, and talked. His manner was florid, almost bombastic. He had a fashion of working his face a good deal when he talked.

It was downright hard labor, for he worked his ground properly and for all it was worth, having a lot to kill, and not much time to kill it in. At times he sat bolt-upright, and stared knowingly around because his short legs gave him such a limited view otherwise. At times he climbed a mole-heap.

Go straight on till you come to the devil's great-grandmother, and then you've only got to ask your way to the hairy one." Pelle stood for a while in the yard below and considered. So Father Lasse had gone away! And wanted to marry, or was perhaps already married. And to Karna, of course. He stood bolt-upright, sunk in intimate memories.

That's what makes me feel like drowning Marian every few days. Horace, I'm proud of you. She patted his hand which was grasping the arm of the chair, and he blushed a hearty red. 'Elise! He sat bolt-upright. 'By gad! I never knew it until this minute. You are the woman I ought to marry. You are far too good and clever and all that; but, by Jove!

But the attempt was vain, for my old acquaintance had apparently become so near-sighted as not to discern a person, unless he came bolt-upright against him or unless, perchance, on some occasions, when he was sufficiently far-sighted, to enable him to turn a corner in season to avoid an interview.
