"Dolly was frightened by the storm, bolted, and threw me off; I must have been stunned for a few minutes. I'm afraid I've sprained my ankle in falling, for I can't walk; and, oh, Austin, I'm awfully cold and wet and tired!" "I know; it's it's been just hellish for you. Keep on speaking to me, I'm getting nearer." "I'll put out my hands, and then, when you get here, you won't stumble over me.
The horse, which lost one of the red slippers of its hind feet in consequence, then bolted off like mad, while Simplex yelled like a cockney horseman on a runaway nag, tugged at the reins, and implored the laughing crowd to stop the beast. But the mob only chivied the horse all the more, till it had far outdistanced its panting escort.
I know quite well, therefore, that I shall he unable to gratify my great desire of doing something for that miserable, lonely man." "So much the better," the brother said, quite relieved. "I am glad that the villain has bolted you out himself. If I should have tried to keep you out, you certainly would have found means to resist me, I know." "I willingly admit it," Mrs. Maxa replied with a smile.
For a minute he crouched and stood still, scared stiff at the three kids, all yellin' like mad; then he ducked his head and bolted off the circle through my quarter and flew up on a beam. I thought the kids would bust." Mrs. Burke sighed heavily. "Well, burst, then. But while they were laughin' I raked in the cash. You see I just had to. I won it for fair.

"Everything bolted and barred," said Thalassa, and left the room.

When they caught sight of the dark object lying before them, they stopped, sniffed the air, and bolted to the right.
She's sitting to Brierly that's my host for his latest effort. He's painting her as the Madonna or Britannia I really forget which. A new type, you know. The servants in this house are engaged for their faces. They had a villainous scoundrel of a man-servant a returned soldier engaged as Judas Iscariot, who bolted last week with the silver spoons. But all this is beside the point, Mr.

I loved him; oh! with my whole soul, I can acknowledge it now; but I loved him quite at the bottom of my heart. In order to think of him I went down into the very lowest chamber of my heart, bolted the door, and crouched down in the darkest corner. At last, at a certain moment, the floor creaked, a door was opened in the passage with a thousand precautions, and I heard the tread of a boot a boot!
All the doors of the pavilion we were in were bolted behind us when we left it. It was past eleven, and a dead silence reigned throughout the whole house.
